The Hour of Charm - April 7, 1945

Kicking off the blog posts this week, light music from the popular All-Girl Orchestra of “The Hour of Charm”.

The episode of April 7, 1945, originally heard on NBC and rebroadcast on Armed Forces Radio as program 105 in the series, is “Pictures at an Exhibition”.  The show kicks off with “In an Eighteenth Century Drawing Room”.  Featured are Phil Spitalny and His All-Girl Orchestra, Evelyn and Her Magic Violin.

Our show was dubbed direct to digital from an original Armed Forces Radio 16” vinyl transcription; the date is from the matrix.  Our thanks to blog listener William Harris for his donation of the disc to the collection!
