It's September and the perfect time for thinking Fall thoughts like apples & joining a sing-a-along to a kid favorite of mine.  A Sounds Like Radio Vast Library of Sound Encore Edition of Vol. 6.   Hear now & enjoy the story and song of Johnny Appleseed & you won't want to miss singing along with Tom Lehrer and the kids to a true kid classic, "On Top of Spaghetti"!!    A real entertaining & fun show for all.

YEEEEhh  HAAHHHH!!   It's Hopalong Cassidy back in the Humble Host Ranch to tell us another exciting western adventure.   Today Hoppy & his pal California come across "Black Grass Fever" and the townsfolk don't much like it.  From the Library of Sound Hopalong vault located in the barn of the Humble Host Ranch comes Volume 132 - a classic Hopalong Cassidy Show originally from February 17, 1951.  Hold tight, Your Humble Host is ridin' hard to bring you this Hoppy show.

Your Humble Host is proud to bring you a Bing Crosby Show, one of his 15 min. shows, from January 25, 1956.   This is another one of the Bing's in The Library of Sound (Volume 131) you won't find anywhere else on the interwebs.  Bing & Ken Carpenter chat about Scottish poet Robert Burns and Bing sings a few ditties along the way.  Another Bing Exclusive here from Sounds Like Radio's Library of Sound, take a break & relax a while with Bing, Ken & Your Humble Host.

In Volume 112 of Sounds Like Radio Gildy finds himself having to make a calendar girl choice.   It's a brave decision to be made by The Great Gildersleeve from November 22, 1950 when he has to choose between his old girlfriend Nurse Milford and the new vixen Vicki who's set her sights on our hero too.  We'll see what happens, but you know we wouldn't leave Gildy alone to face this Calendar Girl dilemma.  

No sir, to help in this momentous decision we have the beguiling Lee Wiley along with Dean Martin, Dinah Shore, Bing Crosby, Judy Garland and Ray Charles.  They all put their heads together just to offer Gildy some way to handle this.  And bringing all these great thinkers to the show is none other than Your Humble Host.   

A fun show is what we have here along with some mighty fine music.  

Library of Sound Volume 130 is here with Bold Venture.   Bogart & Bacall are back and they're after "Spanish Gold".   A neat little adventure originally broadcast April 23, 1951 and the sails are set and so are we.   Your Humble Host is ready for BOOOLD Venture with Humphrey Bogart and there's always room for Lauren Bacall!

Library of Sound Volume 129 is here with more real laughs with the Phil Harris-Alice Faye Show!   From October 10, 1948 and things go awry when Phil's buddy, Remley signs the contract to be the star of Phil & Alice's show.  A star has arrived, time for Phil & Alice to move aside.  Remley gets to live it up, least till the mistake is found.  Your Humble Host finds these Phil Harris-Alice Faye shows truly laugh out loud funny, take a comedy break today with the Library of Sound.

It's Volume 111 of Sounds Like Radio with a Great Gildersleeve show from November 15, 1950 and a whole lot of goodies in the musical department too.  Today Gildy is auditioning for the Summerfield Festival and even Birdie gets in on the act singing a nice song here.  It's a fun Gildy episode and we have some fun music for you too.  Starting with a beautiful STEREO recording the Andrew Sisters made of their hits, we'll hear them sing one from that album.  Also stopping by will be Dean Martin, Petula Clark, then Bing Crosby, Bob Hope & Peggy Lee will all sing together, Dinah Washington wants to know, Roy Rogers sings of his Home On The Range and Bing comes back because they didn't believe him.   

Well, a jam packed show once again filled with music and mirth with Your Humble Host.    

Your Humble Host has something a little unusual today and an interesting bit of Magoo history.   In this Library of Sound Volume 128 we present the best of the 1950's album "Mr. Magoo In Hi-Fi".   An unusual album find that is mainly made up of music used in the Mr. Magoo theatrical cartoons of the late '40's and thru the '50's.  While I didn't find the music at all interesting they DID have a selection on that album featuring the voices of Mr. Magoo (Jim Backus who later was Mr. Howell on Gilligan's Island) and Daws Butler (Huckleberry Hound and countless other cartoon characters) doing a comedy bit with their Hi-Fi system.   It's a nice little bit here that from an album that ranks as one of my most obscure finds.  Anyone who listens to my Sounds Like Radio shows knows I like background music from classic shows as I use it for my podcasts too but I'm afraid the music heard in the theatrical Magoo's was less than interesting and downright weird.  So never fear, Your Humble Host is here to play you JUST the Mr. Magoo comedy bit from this odd album. 

If you're a Mr. Magoo fan you'll like it, if you're too young to know about Mr. Magoo enjoy it here and then seek out some Mr. Magoo cartoons.  Mr. Magoo was an old guy who couldn't see well and would mistake objects in front of him for other things.  I grew up watching the cartoon TV Mr. Magoo series which contained all new '60's Magoo toons.  I liked those better than the '50's movie Magoos and would like to have an album of '60's Magoo cartoon music.  

But let's take a listen here to Jim Backus the real Mr. Magoo from an album rather in a toon.  

It's time for an investigation with radio's toughest PI Philip Marlowe.  This week on the Library of Sound (LOS) Volume 127 we dip into the October 17, 1948 files to hear a Philip Marlowe adventure called "Where There's A Will".  Oh, it's a strange one as Philip has to spend a night with a cat, a pig, and an APE(!) and they just don't make for good company.  Least wise that's the way I see it.   We'll see how Marlowe sees it now as we listen.

Get set to Climb Every Mountain, well, at least one, "Old Stone Face" with Gildersleeve and Mr. Bullard.   It's Volume 110 today of Sounds Like Radio featuring a November 8, 1950 episode of The Great Gildersleeve with Gale Gordon & Willard Waterman.  These 2 would later work together in the Dennis The Menace TV show that came a few years after this Gildy show.  Willard Waterman played the grocer, Mr. Quigley in Dennis The Menace and also played Gildersleeve in the TV version.  

And to bring out the best in every episode of Sounds Like Radio we have some mighty sweet music as always both before and after Gildy.  Today Your Humble Host brings you a Teresa Brewer STEREO version of one of her hits,  Bing Crosby is here to dream, but no not of White Christmas yet, then Crazy Gugenheim drops in on Your Humble Host to sing a little ditty as Frank Fontaine, the effervescent Jaye P. Morgan sings a lovely from her alluring album the cover of which you can see posted next to our show this week-Vah Vah Vah Voom, David Allyn a singer new to Sounds Like Radio but not to our library sings a ditty you may be familiar with, and the wonderful Helen O'Connell is in the mood to slow it down in her musical selection.    We even get to take a break and sip some Campbell's soup with a call back to Lassie.

It's another jam packed little show with Your Humble Host in tow and right there with you.
