NavyCanDo:
My 14 year old son loves old-time radio. He has listen to my collection of Edgar Bergan and Charlie McCarthy and Abbott & Costello over and over again - now having it all loaded on his iPod.  I also have a large collection of  Duffy's Tavern and Jack Benny, but he hasn't really gotten into those yet.   He is also into the old Bill Cosby stuff, though those are in a different category.

Does a dad proud to hear the sounds of Charlie McCarthy coming from his bedroom when he should be sleeping.
