Hey, somehow I'm running a day behind. Here's a really oldie from the dark days of the Great Depression. The Texaco Firechief program went on the air and was able to steal away Ed Winn from the Ziegfeld Follies. Later they would have other hosts, each with their own style of comedy. Ed Winn was known as the Perfect Fool, and was one of the biggest names in comedy in the early 1900's. He was part of the Ziegfeld Follies and helped WC Fields to transition from being a juggler into a comedian. They both were good friends with Fannie Brice, the tallent behind Baby Snooks. The audio quality is a little rough, but generally not bad to listen to. The jokes are old, but for 1932 they were mostly current.

Bonus Track: Bill Boyd and His Cowboy Ramblers. I Can't Tame Wild Women. Some folks may be aware that the name of the actor who played Hop Along Cassidy was William Boyd. This is not the same person.
