Andy and Virginia Mansfield (Photo) hosted this program on the AFRTS from 1958-61. The show was one of the earliest programs to combine recorded music with spoken commentary. Virginia introduced the more contemporary songs while husband, Andy handled the older hits. Fun to listen to... featured song is "The Donkey Serenade." Thanks for braying, I mean listening! :)More shows like this in the "Turn Back The Clock" Playlist
