The Big Broadcast is a Sunday night tradition for families throughout the WAMU listening area. Each week, Big Broadcast host Ed Walker offers listeners priceless recordings of popular radio programs from the '30s, '40s and '50s. Priceless, especially, for a man whose first sentence as a child was, 'Turn the radio on.'

[Vision]

Happy Sunday Night...Classic Radio Time...

[Vision]

Evening all, happy Sunday. We’ve got quite the Indian Summer going on in the mid Atlantic.

No lineup has been posted so we’ll wait to hear what Ed has to say.

How ya doing?

[WXRGina]

Hi, Vision! Mystery show tonight! Maybe he’ll play some mysteries for it. :-)

How’s it going up there?

[Vision]

Things are good. Finally got the side door painted; thought the recoat times were 2hrs instead of 4 so that delayed things. I gotta say, and I’m curious as to your experience...I put down grass seed and had germination with up to 1/2” of growth in 4 days. 4 days! I’m never seen that before.

[WXRGina]

That grass seed sounds great! We only have experience with winter rye grass seed, which goes gangbusters after you plant it and keep it watered. Otherwise, down here, we have only laid sod—St. Augustine, Centipede, Bermuda or Zoysia. We used to order sod by the truckload and would wear ourselves out laying. It’s rough work.

[WXRGina]

*...wear ourselves out laying it, I meant to say.

[Vision]

Wow, this is a serious lineup...

Johnny Dollar
Dragnet
Gunsmoke
Great Gildersleeve
Dimension X
Suspense
Lux

[WXRGina]

Excellent lineup (except for Gildersleeve)!

[Vision]

I'll bet. It's all tall fescue here.

JD has been setup to be killed.

Anything new this week? Will all the painting I did one grill of steaks and sausage.

[WXRGina]

On Friday, someone stole one of our debit card numbers and made a couple of charges in Memphis. One was at a hamburger joint, and the other was at a convenience store. Both totaled less than thirty dollars. I caught it Saturday morning and cancelled both debit cards. Thankfully, the hits on the account were pre-authorizations and not actual debits, so the bad guys got their burgers and beer, but the merchants, when they run the debits will eat them.

That’s our big news for the week. Keith smoked a butt yesterday for the Bama game, so we’re having leftovers tonight.

[Vision]

Good for you for catching it. How’d they get it?

[WXRGina]

I have no idea, Vision. Some kind of hacking, I imagine.

THE MILLS BROTHERS are our favorite group of all time! :-)

[Vision]

Yea, the MB are great.

[Vision]

Spike Jones never did it for me.

[WXRGina]

What a freaky story!

[Vision]

Suspense!

[Vision]

Darn, 20th century ran Library Book last night.

[Vision]

Yea it was.

[Vision]

Gina I'm off to the radio. Hope we get a good Lux. Later gator.
