Vic and Sade ... Here is a Christmas theme show, sort of, when Rush, Vic and Sade's adopted son, goes to Vic's business office to ask him for a "Strictly Business Christmas Loan"... Rush argues that he is grown up now and it isn't right for a "man" of 14 to be buying cheap presents for Christmas gifts to give family and friends. So he is asking Vic for a loan so he can spend some "big money" on gifts... even one for Vic. This is the show that is all about dialog. No sound effects or music, just down-to-earth people from the 1940's carrying on a conversation. This track will live in the "Vic and Sade" Playlist on this Soundcloud.com podcast

There were many shows during the Golden Age of Radio that featured animal "stars" because they did not have to be in the studio. The sound effects man would create the voice of the dog, cat, or horse and do it on cue. The listening audience would never know the difference. Rin Tin Tin on the radio was played by a sound effects tech, but in the movies he was actually a dog found on a WW I battlefield who went on to star in several Warner Bros. movies. After the original German Shepard passed on, the name was given to a number of replacements. The series began in 1930.... but this recording is from the Mutual Broadcasting System Jan 2, 1955 to Dec. 25, 1955 run of 30 min programs at 5 pm on Sunday afternoons. Lee Aaker plays Rusty, Mames Brown as Lt. Ripley "Rip" Masters and Joe Sawyer played Sgt. Biff O'Hara... part of the 101st Cavalry. By the way the original 1930 series was entitled "The Wonder Dog" and Don Ameche starred in that series that ran until 1934... on CBS. This track will be living in the Playlist "Westerns"
