From Volume 114 of the Library of Sound we bring you a classic episode of The Shadow starring what I think was the best voice for The Shadow, Bill Johnstone.  It's tough one for The Shadow as he journey's into "The Valley of The Living Dead" as it was originally heard on January 22, 1939.  Your Humble Host is here to steady you as this is a THRILLER!   The Shadow knows where evil lurks, it's in the Valley of The Living Dead.

On Volume 105 of Sounds Like Radio we find Leroy in today's Great Gildersleeve episode (October 4, 1950) wanting to get out and play football.  But suddenly for some unknown reason Leroy decides he's not going to be playing in the big game.   Why asks everyone in the Gildy family?  Well, we're going to find out.  And helping Your Humble Host to root out Leroy's problem will be Tony Bennett, Rosemary Clooney, Bing Crosby, Dean Martin, Carly SImon, Perry Como and even Helen O'Connell will be singing one of my all time favorite Helen songs.  Oh, this is a goodie, filled with a few laughs, a few gulps, and even more great music.  

In the Library of Sound Vol. 113 Philip Marlowe is back on the case and today he looks into the "Panama Hat", dark in there isn't it?  Your Humble Host is having a little fun but Philip Marlowe isn't laughing.  Uh oh.  From October 10, 1948 the definitive voice of Philip Marlowe, Gerald Mohr, is on the scene to get to the bottom of another exciting case.  

Sounds Like Radio (SLR) Volume 104 sees The Great Gildersleeve from September 27, 1950 with a bit of a dilemma.  Does he set a good example for Leroy by practicing the piano as Leroy is supposed to be doing or does he hop off to the fair with good old Nurse Milford.   A hard choice for Gildy either it's piano time or he takes a turn for the nurse!     It's not a hard choice here though for Your Humble Host the accent is all on the piano today as we are presenting a fantastic set of piano music that I think you won't soon forget.  Piano classic songs and rare relaxation piano pieces I have come across over the years and now is the perfect time to share.   We'll even hear the Bing Crosby song that started it all for me and I've been hooked on Bing ever since.  We'll also demonstrate the differences in the 2 different piano intro's. to that song.  The accent on piano music continues with a very unusual piano classic by Satie, Dooley Wilson plays it again, 101 Strings all crowd into the Sounds Like Radio studio for a song classic of their own and Al Jolson and Jimmy Durante show us piano music their style and Doris Day answers an important question for us.  Your Humble Host at times finds himself quite mesmerized by the music in this one, close your eyes on some of these songs and you will too.  Enjoy a special show today.

From the Library of Sound Volume 112 comes Sam Spade and the Calcutta Trunk Caper originally heard June 8, 1947.  Your Humble Host is proud to present Howard Duff in the role he was born for, Sam Spade.  Sam's headed out for trouble in Calcutta.  Sam's ready to report this one to Effie, his handy dandy secretary.

Nerves on edge?  Are you wore to a frazzle?  Sick of the daily disasters being created for us by our wonderful government?  Don't worry, in this special issue from the Library of Sound (LOS) Volume 111 Jean Shepherd is here to relax us all.  You can close your eyes and and get carried away with the beautiful images of Peace & Tranquility Jean Shepherd weaves in this show Your Humble Host recorded on February 13, 1975.   This has been one of my long time favorite go-to Jean Shepherd shows.  I think you'll see why when you join me in the Library of Sound.

In Volume 103 of Sounds Like Radio, Gildersleeve's secretary Bessie has run off and gotten married.  Now Gildy needs a new secretary, Bessie sends in Sandra Gould to replace her.  Uh oh, Gildy still needs a new secretary.  Sandra Gould is most famous for playing Mrs. Kravitz on Bewitched but now she's on this Great Gildersleeve from September 20, 1950.   The Jolly Boys have suggestions for their idea of the perfect secretary for Gildy.  Thankfully we also have Jimmy Dean, Julie London, Bing Crosby, Jim Reeves, Rosemary Clooney, Al Jolson and Blossom Dearie to offer their own style of help.  Oh, I like their style.  Listen for Your Humble Host's favorite Blossom song in this show, I think you'll agree.

Saddle Up with Your Humble Host as it's time for Western Adventure at it's best with Hopalong Cassidy!!    We're out on our ranch location for today's Library of Sound (LOS) Volume 110, it's a February 3, 1951 episode of Hopalong Cassidy titled "Coming Attraction, Murder".  Could be a double feature too with Hoppy and his side-kick California ready to take on another exciting case to solve.   GIDDYAP, no time to lose!  

In Volume 102 of Sounds Like Radio Marjorie wants the Bronco family and the GIldersleeves to meet.  That means meeting Bronco's Aunt Victoria in this September 13, 1950 edition of The Great Gildersleeve.  Seems though Gildersleeve's not thrilled with the meeting and has a few tricks up his sleeve.  But Aunt Victoria holds some surprises for Gildersleeve too.  Hmmm, the Aunt ain't all that bad. Your Humble Host turns to Nat King Cole, Bing Crosby, Doris Day, Johnny Hartman, and Billie Holiday to all comment on this tricky situation.  Let's listen to this very fine musical outing on today's Sounds Like Radio. 

From the Bing Wing of the Library of Sound (LOS) comes another rare and not to be found anywhere but here Bing Crosby short show.  From January 16, 1956 Bing returns with some musical ditties & Ken Carpenter and Bing talk about Navy water.   It's an exclusive find straight from the Bing Vault of the Library of Sound.   It's also fun to listen to.  Your Humble Host is happy to bring another very rare Bing show to you today.  

In Volume 108 of the Library of Sound it's elementary which classic detective show we should hear from next, none other than Sherlock Holmes.  When I started reading detective stories (other than those written by Edgar Allan Poe) it was the Sherlock Holmes complete series of books I read first.  That was what started my path on reading more classic detectives like Philip Marlowe, Nero Wolfe and many others.  Today we have an episode of Sherlock that, like the Nero Wolfe radio shows we've presented here, is based on the actual Arthur Conan Doyle story as written.  It stars the classic British duo (my favorite of the British Sherlock and Watsons) Carleton Hobbs & Norman Shelly.   These 2 were perfect to me in their roles.  I first heard their versions of Sherlock back in the 1970's and have been impressed ever since.  Today we have one of their first Sherlock's it's from May 12, 1959 as they present the story of "The Man With The Twisted Lip".    Your Humble Host is ready for the beginning of The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes!  Enjoy.

In Volume 101 of The Great Gildersleeve it's the beginning of a new season on September 6, 1950.  What better way to start than with a new Gildersleeve.  Another historic Gildy for you as this is the first time the great Willard Waterman plays our hero.   If you were to corner me and insist on an answer I'd have to admit Willard Waterman is my favorite Gildersleeve.  Most people in fact who were around back in the day only remember Willard Waterman as the one who played Gildersleeve.   And with the start of a brand new season comes news from "Little" Marjorie who is still a newlywed and with news a newlywed after a couple months might have.   Find out as Patsy Cline, Desi Arnaz (Ricky Ricardo himself from I Love Lucy), Bing Crosby, Jo Stafford, Louis Prima and Madeleine Peyroux all join your Humble Host to celebrate this new season, new Gildy and news from Marjorie. By the way, the picture accompanying this episode is the historic occasion when BOTH of the Gildersleeves met, Harold Peary says goodbye as Willard Waterman enters to say hello.  A warm welcome is how we greet Willard Waterman!

The most well known radio show of them all now emerges from The Library of Sound (LOS).  The weed of crime bears bitter fruit as all will learn.  Today Your Humble Host presents an early episode of The Shadow: "Death House Rescue" from September 26, 1937 starring Orson Welles.  An innocent man is scheduled to fry unless The Shadow gets to the real culprits.  But who knows where evil lurks?  The Shadow knows.

Boris Karloff returns in today's Library of Sound (LOS) Volume 106 as he tells us the Rudyard Kipling Just So Story of How The Whale Got His Throat.  Your Humble Host is proud to present these little stories and we hope you and your whole family will enjoy them too.  Gather the kids for this short little tale from the Story Corner of the Library of Sound.

Your Humble Host is happy to bring you Sounds Like Radio's 100th episode.   It's also historic considering this is also Harold Peary's final appearance on The Great Gildersleeve.  Harold Peary thought he'd carry the show to CBS but Mr. Kraft had other ideas.  We'll explain all about that and in today's GIldersleeve show from June 14, 1950 it's the end of the season for Gildy and the beginning of Summer vacation as Gildy plans to take a vacation on the houseboat with the whole family.  But the Jolly Boys have plans of their own for that houseboat.   Oh me trouble's brewin' but no need to worry as we got plenty of help on hand as Astrud Gilberto, William Frawley (Fred Mertz from I Love Lucy also Bub from My 3 Sons), Buddy Ebsen (Uncle Jed from Beverly Hillbillies), Bing Crosby, Billie Holiday and Rosemary Clooney are all here to help not only the Gildy sitation but to celebrate our 100th Gildy & Music Sounds Like Radio show!!  Get out a noisemaker and give a hoot for Sounds Like Radio!    

Time to wriggle in your seats as Lights Out is our feature from Volume 105 of the Library of Sound.  And today's story is a particular scary one all about the "Revolt of the Worms" as it was originally broadcast on October 13, 1942.  It's creepy and it's crawly and it's not even the Addams Family.  Listen to what happens when the worms revolt.  

In Volume 99 of Sounds Like Radio Gildersleeve's dream of sailing a Houseboat come to life with Katherine.   But things don't quite work out the way Gildy wants.  A deserving bit of fun awaits Gildy from the Jolly Boys in this June 7, 1950 episode of the Great Gildersleeve.  To help that dream of sailing away Houseboat style are Roy Rogers, lovely Connie Stevens, Bing Crosby, Peggy Lee's flamingos, Jimmy Dean sings his most famous song while eating a bacon, egg and cheese sandwich and Doris Day wants us to be hers.  OK by me.  This is a fun show to listen to and the music is nice and warm just like the waters.

The Library of Sound (which is now LOS in our headings) returns with Volume 104 and another mysterious and exciting episode of BOOOOLD VENNNNTUURE!!  That's the way they say it so that's the way we have to.   Yep, Humphrey Bogart & Lauren Bacall are back in another Bold Venture, today it's all about the "Forged Bill of Lading" from April 9, 1951.  Your Humble Host can't wait to get aboard the Bogie boat, hope he's sailing today.  Get set for a forgery laden Bill of Lading on BOOOOOLLD VENNNTUUUURE!!

It’s Volume 98 of Your Humble Host’s Sounds Like Radio and today we see Harold Peary’s stint as the Great Gildersleeve shortly about to go bye-bye. After today’s show from May 31, 1950 it’s just two more episodes to go for Peary. But Gildy’s not worried about that, he’s anticipating his girlfriend, Katherine to invite him to a Sadie Hawkins Dance!  That’s right it’s Sadie Hawkins day and Gildy’s waiting for an invite. So far, the phone hasn’t rung not even one ting-aling. Now that’s reason to worry. We’ll find out what kind of advice we get for both Gildy and Katherine as we enjoy the lush sounds of  Eddie Arnold, The King Sisters, a rare stereo ‘30’s record from Bing Crosby, Ella Fitzgerald, Helen O’Connell, Al Jolson sings my Grandmother’s favorite song, Madeleine Peyroux & Fred Astaire (who better to advise on dancing, anyway?).  Enjoy.

Turning to our Jean Shepherd Section Volume 103 of the Vast Library of Sound (A Note To All: from now on we'll abbreviate Library of Sound as L.O.S. in the headings for our Library of Sound shows as there is a VERY limited amount of words we can use in the headings) well, today we find a show Your Humble Host recorded on December 23, 1974.  Ever find a telephone number in your wallet that you put there years ago and now have no idea whose it is?   Well that's the situation as Jean decides to call that number with no name just to see who it is.  We'll also hear a salute to popcorn.   Get out the Jiffy Pop and get ready for fun with our very own master story-teller Jean Shepherd. 

Today Your Humble Host pulls from the Bing Crosby wing of the Vast Library of Sound Volume 102 only to find a great original tape of Bing Crosby's Chesterfield show from February 6, 1952 with guest, none other than Holiday Inn co-star, Fred Astaire!   This is another of my own tapes the sound of which is a vast improvement over that muffled mess you may find on the interwebs today.   It always pays to go to the Library of Sound vault for the best in quality.    Get ready to sing with Bing and dance a jig with Fred.

Volume 97 has arrived with The Great Gildersleeve from May 24, 1950.  In today's episode Marjorie's new husband has gotten a job selling houses, and the most convenient house around is GIldy's.  Yipe!  Gildy though thinks this would be a good time to get rid of that mean old neighbor, Mr. Bullard and have Bronco sell his house.  Oh me, things are getting sticky in the Real Estate world in Summerfield.   But not to worry our very own Grandpa is here to to tell all of us his most famous tale.  Also on hand with Your Humble Host are Dean Martin, Helen O'Connell, Bing Crosby, Peggy Lee, Burl Ives and Barbara Mandrell, they're all here to give their take on the Real Estate Game.   Another goodie for you to sit back and enjoy.

It's a fun show that Your Humble Host has for you today.  Let's not waste another moment, hit the play button and get ready to smile a while.

We return to the Library of Sound for the grand 100th Volume and we find here to celebrate with us The Adventures of Philip Marlowe and the Case of The Persian Slippers from October 3, 1948.   This is another of the original vintage Philip Marlowe shows starring the definitive voice of Philip Marlowe, the great Gerald Mohr.  Mr. Mohr was a busy man on radio as he was in a variety of different radio shows including Jack Benny, also playing the original Archie Goodwin in vintage Nero Wolfe shows also in Phil Harris shows, westerns, dramas, you name it Gerald Mohr was there.   But it was as Philip Marlowe where he was at his best.   Listen for yourself and get set for Marlowe action and some dirty dealings from the bad guys.

It's Volume 95 of Sounds Like Radio and Your Humble Host is proud to announce the big day has finally arrived!  Marjorie gets married today to Bronco.  This was an historic show for the Great Gildersleeve as this show followed Gildersleeve's niece through time.  Going from "little Marjorie" when she's first adopted by Gildy in the beginning 1943 episodes to May 10, 1950 as she is now a young lady getting married.   This was one of the very few shows that had people maturing and growing in real time as the show went along.   We even have a picture you see next to this episode that shows Marjorie, Gildy & Leroy all at the church for the Wedding from that special issue of Look magazine Harold Peary talks about. All of our favorite singers were invited too to sing for a piece of the wedding cake.  Today we'll hear from the Ink Spots (from the album I got when I was 5) also singing for their supper will be Patti Page, Bing Crosby, Judy Garland and Gene Kelly, Dean Martin, the Teddy Bears and Ted Lewis is there to officiate the wedding down that old church aisle.  This is a fun show I think you're going to like.  

From out of the Wild West and into "The Frightened Town" comes our favorite cowboy, Hopalong Cassidy!   In Volume 98 from the western division of the Vast Library of Sound is another exciting story with Hoppy & his pal California, one of our favorites Andy Clyde.  It was Andy Clyde who also starred with our very own Grandpa on Sounds Like Radio, Walter Brennan.  Andy & Walter played 2 crotchety old friends on another favorite of mine, "The Real McCoys".  Thanks to DVDs I'm watching the Real McCoys again and I love it.  But before Andy joined Grandpa on the Real McCoys he was Hopalong Cassidy's sidekick and he's here right now in this January 20, 1951 edition of Hopalong Cassidy.   By the way, in the picture here that's next to today's show you see Hopalong, Andy Clyde and the one and only George Reeves the real Superman from television!!   Superman himself played in several Hopalong movies before his Superman days began.  OK now, let's ride.

It's story time on Volume 97 from the old Vast Library of Sound show today.  The one and only Boris Karloff is here to tell us all about How The Rhinoceros Got his Skin.  This is a classic Rudyard Kipling tale Boris is here to tell us in his own unique style.   I love listening to Boris' stories even when they're not scary ones.  Gather the kids or just relax and listen yourself to this very short and sweet Boris Karloff story.

From Volume 96 of the Vast Library of Sound comes the very first show Phil Harris and Alice Faye ever did for the Rexall people.   I think Rexall was the one sponsor most associated with the Phil Harris-Alice Faye Show due to the calming voice of Griff Barnett who was "your family druggist" and the voice of the Rexall commercials on the show.   For a long time his voice reminded me of someone I had seen before, then it finally hit me, he was the guy that played Janet Leigh's father in the classic Christmas movie "A Holiday Affair" with Robert Mitchum.  That was something that bothered me for years till I finally figured it out.    The Phil Harris and Alice Faye Show and the Jack Benny Show were the 2 funniest radio shows on.  They are literally for me laugh out loud programs.   Enjoy a laugh today from the Library of Sound.

The Library of Sound Volume 89 opens up and out pops a Bold Venture starring Humphrey Bogart & Lauren Bacall.  That ain't bad, this one's all about the Kuan Yin Statue and the intrigue it brings with it.  From the Bold Venture files of April 2, 1951 Your Humble Host is proud Venture back into the Vast Library of Sound to present our next exciting episode with Bogie & Bacall.

Morgan who thinks he's just gone out for a long walk, Bing Crosby tells us about that Girl Friend also in today's show are Lola Albright from Peter Gunn, Dean Martin, Julie London, Jimmy Dean with a great lesson & Tony Bennett!!   The great ones come out for Sounds Like Radio and the Gildy wedding and all just for you.   Enjoy. The picture next to Volume 94 comes straight from the actual Look magazine article Harold Peary mentions in today's show where they published several pictures of Marjorie's wedding on the Great Gildersleeve.  Next week I'll include another picture from Look to go with the wedding show episode.

It's high time we returned to the home and office of Nero Wolfe as we delve into Volume 87 of the Library of Sound.   This case is going to be a tough one for the big man as all suspects will have air-tight alibis.   It's "Man Alive" another ORIGINAL Rex Stout Nero Wolfe story from the book "Three Doors To Death" dramatized here for you to puzzle with.   Here are a few things to puz, a lady comes to Nero because she sees her supposedly already dead uncle in a crowd.   After the visit with Nero the Uncle really turns up dead this time.   Hold the phone, now what?   Find out as we listen to another great Nero Wolfe mystery only here on a Sounds Like Radio Library of Sound edition.   

Time for Sounds Like Radio Volume 93 and in Great Gildersleeve land it's April 26, 1950 and time for the Jolly Boys to come up with a wedding gift for Marjorie and Bronco.   Their idea is a doozy.   Least I kind of like it.   But to help out with ideas on hand today we have Fred Mertz from I Love Lucy/grandfather Bub on My 3 Sons/or just plain Bill Frawley himself to sing a little ditty the Jolly Boys will do, also a Jo Stafford song from an interesting album, Bing Crosby has a trail in mind for the newlyweds, film noir actress Liz Scot sings to be sure Marjorie's all legal at the marriage, Nat King Cole has a 1000 other ideas, Linda Ronstadt and Emmylou Harris harmonize about a gift and best of all we get to sing along with Roy Rogers and Dale Evans all about the Happy Trails we'll be taking when we listen to today's Sounds Like Radio.   Hit the play, I'm tired of talkin' and ready to roll.
