It's time for another visit from Jean Shepherd direct from Your Humble Host's Library of Sound Volume 172.   It's another Shep show I actually recorded myself back on December 9, 1974.  Your Humble Host liked Shep since the first time he heard him in 1969 or maybe '68.  In this episode Shep discusses the life expectancy of man and animals, how a country's importance is reflected in the design of it's stamps & even commercials.   A very interesting and fascinating show that Shep would do in addition to his various stories.   

Join us for some fun on Sounds Like Radio Volume 126 with great music and The Great Gildersleeve from February 7, 1951.  It's time to celebrate Mr. Peevy as it's his 30th anniversary in the Drug Store.  It's also Richard Legrand's (the actor who plays Peevy) 50th anniversary in show biz!  Gildy takes over the drug store so Peevy can have his 1st day off.   

We're here to join in the Peevy Festivity with a special song featuring Peevy's favorite beverage to sell.  It's my original 1970's Coke 45 ad song and the theme from the ad of that day.   You'll have to hear it to appreciate it.  Also helping out on Peevy's day are Andy Williams, Doris Day, Frank Sinatra, Peggy Lee, Bing Crosby and Uncle Jed from the Beverly Hillbillies--Buddy Ebsen.

Get out the party hats, Peevy's clicking his heels, he's got a day off!   And you'll like hearing the special surprise given to Richard Legrand at the end of the show.  

It's Sounds Like Radio Volume 125 with music, mirth & the Great Gildersleeve from January 31, 1951.   Today with Marjorie's baby well on the way Gildy decides to give his niece a baby shower.   This gives Leroy an idea, he wants to give one too on the same day!  Uh oh, something tells me there wasn't any advance planning done on this.   We're going to see how it all turns out.

But with a baby coming Your Humble Host knows it's gotta be good, just like Smuckers jelly.   Throwing in their 2 cents, in song that is, we'll hear from Al Jolson, Billie Holiday, Bing Crosby, Judy Garland, Ted Lewis (pictured with this show), Lola Albright and even Victor Buono will stop by to tell us all about being fat, just don't call him big boned.   Oh it's a baby lovin' show for today, enjoy.
