Friends, it's Sunday night again and time to relax. Warm up the tubes for another 4 hours of classic radio Americana.
*tonight's show will be available at the "Info" link starting tomorrow.
Tonight's show starts the Christmas season with a solidly enjoyable lineup: Phil Harris...Texas Rangers...can't remember much about Archie...and ending with Lux and a Miracle on 34th Street!
Thank you for the much appreciated reminder
Sure.
Ed played this Archie last year. And, we have two shows that aired on the same day in 1951.

Hi Gina.
Hi, Vision. It sounds like you had an all-American Thanksgiving. I remember your Dad lives in Williamsburg. That’s a very cool place.
I can’t believe this long weekend is suddenly over! We put up a Christmas tree today. Very pretty, with multicolored lights and multicolored shiny glass balls. Simple and lovely.
Are you having leftovers for dinner? I guess we are. Keith smoked a butt for the Iron Bowl yesterday. The Iron Bowl made us sick.
“You must have been speechless for the last twenty seconds of that game. Incredible.”
Not exactly speechless. I had a few “choice” words that cannot be spoken on a family forum. :}
Bama outgained Auburn by 100 yds.
Our kicker had an unusually bad day.
Can’t win them all.
Games like this are what make Alabama - Auburn the greatest rivalry in college football. Roll Tide!
Bing Ping.
Anytime I hear Parley Baer, I think of Mayor Stoner of Mayberry.
We heard this Gunsmoke recently, maybe on the 1920s Network or somewhere else. Justice was done.
Yeah, corruption is as old as the hills.
