    Wow! These are amazing! It is funny, as a child, radio shows were already a thing of the past. Still, each week i looked forward to that ritual of waiting for the replays to come on. We would be gathered in the lower level of the house, where my father kept his ham radio equipment. There was a dimmer switch in that room, and the lights would be low. My father would be sipping on scotch with ice. Classical music would be playing softly as we waited for the radio show's time slot. O yes... and one other detail. Back then we had a light organ that my father constructed from an old Popular Mechanics article, or maybe a Heathkit. My Father is an electrical engineer, he could build it from scratch if he wanted to -but it is beside the point of my narrative. The thing was the size of a large speaker cabinet from those days, like around 14x32 in inches. It was soothing to watch it. Such good memories. :P

It wasn't part of my child hood culture but that's what cousins are for -they break you out of your milling routine. I loved the stock car races the few times that i attended them. We could go in with our own cooler full of beer, and if any body asked, we just said it was pop for the kids (which we neatly presented on top of the beer). But honestly, regulations be damned, every one just wanted to have a good time. No one cared about you bringing booze into the show.

      These shows are priceless. Peter Lorre is a gem among this group of actors. As an aside, Henry Morgan had to one the busiest actors in the business. From at least the 1940's until.the late 70"s or earliy 80's. I saw Peter Lorre in the German film "M" where he played a child killer. He nailed it! Damn those tobacco companies who peddled death in ruthless series of ads that hooked me and millions by selling smokes as a health aid, a sign of sophistication and all the while knowing the health issues. I digress. Stay healthy, folks during the year of the Plague and remember to vote. This is a tale you will tell your grandchildren about.🎃🎈

      Well, his professional name for most of his career was Harry Morgan. His name WAS Henry Morgan, but he changed it early on to avoid confusion with a popular humorist whom I remember only as a panelist on _I've Got a Secret_. But I, too, was surprised to hear his voice, which I recognized immediately.
