A Halloween Favorite Classic Story returns to Sounds Like

One of our most popular podcasts is back, enjoy it and have fun listening to the tale of Ichabod as told as no one else can by our own Sounds Like Radio House Singer who's with us every week all through the year, the one and only Bing Crosby!

On Volume 180 of Sounds Like Radio it seems everyone's off to the mountains for a vacation except for Leroy & the Great Gildersleeve. Why go to the mountains when you can stay home? That's the way Gildy feels about it, too bad Leroy doesn't agree. So instead Gildy & Leroy will camp in their own backyard.

Well, we'll find out if perhaps Al Jolson, Helen O'Connell, Burl Ives, Billie Holiday, Roy Rogers, Peggy Lee & Bing Crosby agree. And our 70's flashback

Sounds Like Radio is back with Volume 179 and today Your Humble Host will be talkin' all about The Great Gildersleeve from July 9, 1952 and his plans to go out on that lake with his new found girlfriend (or so he thinks) Miss McKinley. She's pretty fickle though as she already has plans of her own. Uh oh, trouble in paradise.

Your Humble Host brings you another funny Jack Benny Show on the Library of Sound (LOS) Volume 366.  From February 13, 1946 Jack and wife Mary are looking to buy a house in Palm Springs.  A very funny Phil Harris will also be heard in today's show. Start the festivities!

Your Humble Host is always pleased to bring you a Bing edition of the Library of Sound (LOS) Volume 365. Today we listen to one of the entertaining Bing & Rosie Clooney Shows they did in the early '60's. This is one of my original tapes so sound quality is beautiful. From April 5, 1960 Bing & Rosie & Ken Carpenter have a bit of fun with the "Light Classics". Enjoy this relaxing show.

But if I know Gildy he'll figure a way. To help out our hero we have the wild and wonderful Wanda Jackson (our featured picture this week), Vaughn Monroe,, Kay Starr, Bing Crosby & the Mills Brothers, Ella Mae Morse (she's another spitfire) & Eddy Arnold. But Your Humble Host is never satisfied until he plays you a bonus song and this is from our own record collection of the 1970's, a beautiful song by Tim Moore. You might want to get out your hanky for them tears when listening to this one.

Boris Karloff has returned to the Library of Sound's Reading Corner with a story appropriate enough for this time of year. Boris tells us the Charles Dickens story, "The Goblins Who Stole A Sexton." A sexton works for a church taking care of the building and more commonly tending to the graveyard. This sounds like the kind of story Boris is known for.

Your Humble Host will be here with you as I talk this one over with "Boris".

Your Humble Host is here with Volume 178 of Sounds Like Radio as The Great Gildersleeve from June 25, 1952

Oh my, not a shining example for Leroy but Gildy just can't help it, he thinks he's found a million dollar baby. To help out our boy here we've asked Dinah Shore (as seen in our picture with this show), Fred Astaire, Joni James, Bing Crosby, Peggy Lee, Andy Williams & Teresa Brewer for their advice.

Your Humble Host figures it's about time we bring back good old Shep for another funny and interesting show on our Library of Sound (LOS) Volume 364. Today's show is from one of Your Humble Host's own personal tape recordings of Jean Shepherd I made on April 4, 1975. The sound quality is beautiful as it was recorded off an FM station in my area. Sounds like it was just on today. Enjoy the world of Jean Shepherd.

Today on the Library of Sound (LOS) Volume 363 we present the very last episode of the 1982 Nero Wolfe radio series. I'm sorry that the show ended so soon after only 13 episodes, but today's finale is a dandy. Today Nero finds that "Murder Is No Joke" as it was originally heard April 10, 1982. The story originally appeared in the book "And 4 To Go" which is one of my favorites as it also featured 3 holiday related stories.

We've presented all the episodes of this 1982 series in the order they were originally heard. I've enjoyed this series just as I really enjoyed reading all of the Nero Wolfe books. Still my recommendation to you if you want to read some good books with mystery and a lot of humor mixed in. Very enjoyable. Now let's enjoy this last episode.
