Introductory audio gives background on Dick "Two-Ton" Baker and his upbeat entertaining, piano playing and singing, but short programs. He performed for 50 years and on this track you will hear one of his 14-15 min shows from WGN, Chicago and out nationwide via Mutual Radio Network and two 4 min shows... that were used for stations to make announcements of some sorts more entertaining. Dick Baker loved his work and the fact that he got paid for doing something he loved was a bonus. I discovered this show by accident and thought it was unique and entertaining mostly because the man not only had talent, but a sense of humor and a level of energy that just says, "I love what I do and I hope you do too!" This track will reside in the "Variety - Comedy - Musical" Playlist.
