Radio Daze: Some “Burns & Allen” For Your Old Radio Listening Pleasure!
Howdy Folks! It’s The Kendog here with another edition of Radio Daze. This week we’re giving you a couple of classic episodes of the “Burns & Allen” program featuring George & Gracie. These two episodes, sponsored by Maxwell House Coffee, feature Gracie confusing a crime program and a strange phone call with real life gangsters. Featuring the great Elliot Lewis as The Tall Man and all of the other supporting performers like Bill Goodwin, Meredith Wilson, and Mel Blanc, these two programs are classicss of the Old Radio Age! Enjoy! So Sayeth The Kendog!
The Dogcast: Mel Blanc At His Best On His Own Show!
Howdy Folks! It’s The Kendog here with some more old radio fun. In honor of the Tom & Jerry flick making its way to HBO Max today, I thought I’d throw in some classic Mel Blanc. Blanc, of course, didn’t voice Tom & Jerry, but he was the legendary voice of the Warner Brothers cartoons. Not only that, but he was a busy performer on various radio shows, including Jack Benny, Burns & Allen, The Judy Canova Show, and Abbott & Costello. He also had his own show for about a year that was really popular. He had to quit because he was just too busy with other projects. Here are a couple of shows for your listening pleasure. (Trust me, it’s more enjoyable than the new Tom & Jerry movie). Enjoy and feel free to comment here or on my Facebook page. So Sayeth The Kendog!
