The Armed Forces Radio Service broadcast shows to the troops overseas during WW II. These were not heard on national broadcast radio... they were shortwave radio shows totally volunteered by talent, engineers, studios... to support the morale of the troops overseas. This is a Musical, Comedy, Variety show with guest host Kay Kyser and his College of Musical Knowledge Orchestra. Comedian Jerry Colonna, and special guest Gary Cooper. This show was broadcast just about a month before WW II ended in Europe VE Day. Same excellent music, comedy, with lots of enthusiasm and good spirits. You can almost feel it through the speaker... the War was coming to an end. Americans had worked together to defeat Hitler and were only 4 months away from defeating Japan. Amazing what we can do when we work together. There is a lesson to be learned or relearned in this program. This lives in the "Musical-Variety-Comedy" Playlist.
