Given the unknown number of generations these air checks passed through, the sound quality is remarkable-as is Billy Murray’s voice at this last stage of his long career. In the Cohan medley, especially in “Mary,” he seems to adopt Cohan’s stylistic manner of partly singing and partly talking the lyrics. How grateful we are to you for posting this truly rare radio performance.
If only this were a concert video! Still, a live recording of Billy Murray is nothing short of answered prayer. Truly the most influential and impacting vocalist of most of the first half of the 20th century.

There's a recording of Billy I know of. In the 40's, it's a silent film though, sadly.
@@Starimations I never had it??? It’s somewhere on YT
How fascinating to hear Billy Murray this late!
Very interesting, this recording with Billy Murray!
Great to hear Billy Murray!!
who else would like to hear a Billy Murray/Scott Joplin duo? XD
I wonder why this was recorded. Was it an acetate?
