From the Library of Sound (LOS) Volume 181 A real classic comes to life! Bette Davis & Gregory Peck star in this radio version of the story not to be forgotten, "Now Voyager!" Your Humble Host is proud to present this Lux Radio Theater fine production. With one of the most memorable pieces of music you've ever heard. Once heard you can't forget it. Your Humble Host will play 2 different versions of it today as he introduces and closes out the show. It's going to be good. From February 11, 1946 let's listen to this classic story straight from our Vast Library of Sound!

Sounds Like Radio Volume 130 has arrived and now Marjorie & babies have returned home and Gildy begins to worry if he's still needed by his niece Marjorie & them little babies. From March 7 1951 The Great Gildersleeve is back and so's Your Humble Host and a host of really nice music to help Gildy feel like he's still wanted. After all, everybody needs a Grandpa let's see if Gildy realizes it. To help out we have good folks to convince Gildy that the family needs him. Well, for incidence we'll turn to Vaughn Monroe, Dinah Shore, Johnnie Ray, Peggy Lee, Bing Crosby, Joanie Sommers, & Nat King Cole. Now between all of us we should be able to give Gildersleeve the boost in confidence he needs. With good music and some mirth thrown in, what else could you ask for?

In our last visit Marjorie had her baby, make that babies, she had twins! And now on Sounds

In fact they now need to come up with names for the two little tykes.

From the Library of Sound (LOS) Volume 180 Your Humble Host jumps out of the way as Hopalong Cassidy Rides Again into our studio for another rip-roaring rootin-tootin adventure! Today we hear Hoppy tell us all about the time he and California had to deal with "The Buckshot Badman" as originally broadcast March 3, 1951. Listen closely to the foreman character, "Will Banning" as he is portrayed by Howard McNear. Better known to us as Bronco's father on the Great Gildersleeve, Doc on radio's Gunsmoke & of course Floyd The Barber on the Andy Griffith Show. A fun time to be had by all who listen to Hopalong Cassidy!

From the Library of Sound (LOS) Volume 179 we have Jean Shepherd!! Jean Shepherd was way before his time as you'll hear him in late 1974 talking about Award Acceptance speeches and in the future vicious criminals will be portrayed as poor innocent victims. Sadly and unfortunately this has all come to pass. From Your Humble Host's very own personal Jean Shepherd vault comes a show I recorded on January 29, 1975. I'm happy to be able to share these rare recordings not found anywhere else, because they're my own recordings. And now I'm playing them for you. While the subject may not seem funny, Shep always manages to see the funny side of life and make us laugh. Your Humble Host remains positive as always and knows change for the better is coming. Now starting with the better let's listen to a Shep tape straight from Your Humble Host's vault.

In our last visit Marjorie had her baby, make that babies, she had twins! And now in Sounds Like Radio Volume 129 Marjorie has returned home and the whole family is excited. In fact they now need to come up with names for the two little tykes. Well, that's where we come in, don't you know. Your Humble Host has asked each of our guests for their thoughts on a good name. Here to let us know what they think are Rosemary Clooney, Al Jolson, Helen Kane (Betty Boop), Bing Crosby, Helen Ward, Ricky Ricardo (Desi Arnaz), & Sammy Davis Jr. Looks like it's a group project, will it help out Marjorie? Will the babies ever be named? Will they like their names when they're old enough to know? Will we ever start the show? YES, right now!

Get ready for another very special edition of our Vast

Time to celebrate Saint Patrick's Day with our favorite holiday guy, Jean Shepherd!   From our Vast Library of Sound (LOS) comes Volume 85 and a March 17, 1972 Jean Shepherd show from St. Patty's Day itself!   Find out what they mean by Top of The Mornin' (or is that top it off) as Shep stops in a Dublin, Ireland tavern for breakfast and there ain't a scrambled egg in sight.  But plenty of happy juice to go round.   Let's join Jean in a round, I'll have a green Sarsaparilla bartender.

It's that time of year again as Sounds Like Radio celebrates the wearin' of the green with a very special vintage March 2000 Sounds Like Radio show.  From the archives comes this classic St. Patty's Day show with Bing Crosby Irish music and even a Crazy Gugenheim Irish ditty along of course with a St. Patty's Day Great Gildersleeve episode in between the Irish tunes.   Your Humble Host has his green derby on with the 4 leaf clover on the side.  Enjoy this classic vintage episode from the Sounds Like Radio archives.

From the Vast Library of Sound (LOS) Volume 178 comes a Special Presentation of Ray Bradbury's--"There Shall Come Soft Rains".  A classic story read to you by none other than the great Burgess Meredith.   You may recall in September of 2020 we presented to you the very first Library of Sound which featured Burgess Meredith reading Bradbury's "Marionettes Inc."   That was the beginning of the Library of Sound.   At that time I also recorded the introduction to the flip side of that Burgess Meredith album.   Well, 3 1/2 years later I'm finally playing you the other side of that 1962 album "Burgess Meredith Reads Ray Bradbury" and my original 2020 first Library of Sound intro. and closing.   If you'd like to hear that first Library of Sound featuring Burgess reading Marionettes Inc. scroll down through our many shows we've done here on Sounds Like Radio and you'll find the other Burgess-Bradbury album side of Marionettes Inc.  For now enjoy this classic story which was once a fanciful tale of Science Fiction but has now sadly become a reality.
