Abbott and Costello was one of the best comedy teams of all times. They dominated during the war years of the 1940's
and on into the 1950's. They were in films, TV and radio. In todays show, another comedy great of the day, Judy
Canova guest stars. Lots of great jokes about love and marriage. There used to be a common tradition where it was OK
for girls to propose to a man only during leap year, 1944 was a leap year. The custom seems to have fallen by the
wayside in our modern times of womens lib and social freedoms.
The featured singer on the show is the popular Connie Haynes. This cute little Georgia Peach started singing at age
10 and by her late teens was a regular with Tommy Dorsey, Bing Crosby and several well known bands. At the time of
this episode she was 21 and still a rising star. Her career would extend on into the 1950's and beyond. She was as
clean and wholesome as her lines in the show implies. At the time of this podcast, she is living in Florida and
still putting on the occasional concert, performing those old swing tunes and gospel hymns.
