Larry and John Gassman's "Same Time, Same Station" Identical twin brothers, John and Larry Gassman are used to surprising skeptics. Blind since birth, they have been exceeding the expectations of doubting observers all their lives. The Gassman's radio careers were launched in 1973, at a small radio station at Rio Hondo College in Whittier. By 1980, they were the sole hosts, producers and engineers of the KPCC-FM radio program, "Same Time, Same Station". The show was devoted to airing vintage radio programs which featured dramas, comedies, variety programs, news broadcasts and documentaries from the 1930's, '40's, and '50's. These original productions were aired in their entirety, uncut and uninterrupted. The show lasted until March of 2000. They then moved their program to KCSN in Northridge, California. In 2002 they both became to busy to continue the broadcast. Rather then to see the show die, Jerry Haendiges offered to "guest" host the show temporarily. After an absence of over 8 years, the Gassman's are happy to now resume "Same Time, Same Station" on my Olde Tyme Radio Network (and I'm really happy to have them back)..

This Week's Classics & Curios Show: "Echoes of Songs and Laughter" Episode 205 EDDIE HUBBARD & THE BROWSERS: "ARTISTRY IN RHYTHM" Perhaps the "Eddie Hubbard and the Browsers" show is not exactly "artistry in rhythm," but one of the tunes on this Browsers show is Stan Kenton's theme song by that name. While Kenton's theme song may not be at the top of my list of big band theme favorites, artistry in rhythm does describe the music of much of the big band era. When the music of the composer, the arrangement for the performing artists, and the musicianship of the performers come together just right, the result can indeed often be described as rhythmic artistry. Much of the American music of the 1930's, 1940's, and even some in the 1920's and early 1950's, in my opinion, fits that description well and, in fact, in artistic achievement might be to our modern era on the popular music level what the music of Mozart, Beethoven, and Bach was to theirs on the classical level. Of course, on every Browsers' show we hear several types of music at various levels of artistry and style that usually can lift our spirits, reflect our emotions, stimulate our imaginations, or soothe our souls. Or maybe it's just a musical matter of playfully humorous aspects and situations of life. Taking the spotlight on this Browsers' show are songs like ""Beyond the Sea," "The Shepherd's Serenade," "The Breeze and I," "How It Lies," "Along the Navajo Trail," "Count Every Star," "Loretta," "Somebody Stole My Gal," "Summer Samba," "Let's Have Another Cup of Coffee," and "Buzz Me (Baby)." Certainly, it goes without saying that not all artists or the music recorded by big bands can be called artistic. The duds are many, such as recordings like Sinatra's infamous "Mama Will Bark." That recording fails to be playfully entertaining even with one of the greatest singers of the twentieth century singing with Dagmar, one of the worst. Artists on this Browsers' show fortunately do match the artistic level of the songs. Artists include Benny Goodman, Dick Todd, Bing Crosby and the Andrews Sisters, Louis Jordan, Marion Hutton and the Modernaires, Bobby Darin, Jimmy Dorsey, and Horace Heidt. Trivia questions are usually only as good as the old memories or perhaps some new discovery that they sometimes evoke, but some answers also manage now and then to provide fun and humor, especially on this show when guest Browsers Perry Huntoon and Bob Knack exchange comments with Eddie. Maybe on this show you can join the Browsers to answer a few questions involving topics such as song titles with girls' names beginning with the letter "L" as in "Laura" or old songs that were revived and became hits perhaps for the second time. Maybe you know Stan Kenton's nickname or the name of the famous whistler with Horace Heidt. As you listen to "The Breeze and I" with Jimmy Dorsey and Bob Eberle, can you name the original classical Cuban composition on which it's based? I couldn't. And here's a question from me: Can you recognize a famous classical concert piece's rhythmic similarities that play steadily in the background of "The Breeze and I"? [For the answer see one of the images to the left of this summary.] Another question that might be mildly amusing involves the name of the obscure tune on the flip side of Louis Jordan and the Tympany Five's 1946 top R&B stye recording "Buzz Me (Baby)." This B-side song also hit number one on the R&B chart later in 1946. Its playful title is "Don't Worry 'Bout That Mule." It seems even mules can blend with musical playfulness to be a part of artistic "charm and gaiety of life." As Plato said, "Music is a moral law. It gives soul to the universe, wings to the mind, flight to the imagination, and charm and gaiety to life and to everything." ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ Again, our thanks go to Jerry Haendiges Productions for quality remastering of the original Eddie Hubbard studio tapes for rebroadcast. .

Big John Matthews and Steve "Archive" Urbaniak's "The Glowing Dial" Big John has been into OTR since his early teens. He met Steve in 1990 and they found that they had similar interests like OTR and things nostalgic. In 1996 they started ”The Glowing Dial” for Yesterday USA and it ran for 5 years there. They had to stop for a few years due to Big John's health. Then in 2003 they started up again and ran for 4 years when, again Big John’s health forced another hiatus. But now, they're back once again, this time hopefully to stay. Unfortunately, Steve is currently in the midst of a job search and so is unable to co-host on the newest batch of shows. We’re sure Steve will come back to the show when his schedule allows. In the meantime, Big John’s buddies Stu Chisholm and Greg Barker have been alternating co-hosting duties. It will take us a while to build our audience back so please, tell your friends about “The Glowing Dial”! See you on the radio!
