Myself and a group of friends are on a radio show for children. I think lots of people will enjoy a Zoom guest that does radio shows. Okay, Paul, here you are. okay that was the beatles silver hammer and maxwell silver hammer it's 10 15 and this is the girl gullum show live from the wvah in the veterans hospital and i just hope that you guys upstairs are really enjoying this because i kind of enjoy doing it for you Okay, here's something that a lot of you remember from Stan Kenton. It's Artistry in Rhythm. This is not a real radio station. It's sort of like a closed circuit. This is where I go up through the boards and ask the patients what they want to hear. The Veterans Hospital radio job was really a place to get more experience and try to
make the veterans feel a little bit better. We're WVAH and what kind of music do you like to hear? Western. And any particular record? Buck Island, Johnny Parrish? Johnny Parrish. Okay. And would you like for us to play it for you and your ride? Just take them away. What's her name? Peggy. Peggy. Okay, Peggy. And right now, here's Johnny Hodges. I've been in radio and television for a long time, and I intend to continue my experience in it. I've been getting experience every day. I mean, you see new things all the time. About once a week, I go out to WSM and just hang around and try to see if I can get on the morning show. It's 12 minutes after 6. My old friend Gil Killam is back with us this morning.
Mostly when I'm on the morning show, I assume the role of a spirits announcer. Yesterday, of course, being Sunday, was a big professional football day. And here in our press box is Gil Gillum with the results of what happened on a Sunday. Well, Ralph, I'll tell you, okay? Washington and Oakland have clinched the National Football League Division Championships. The Redskins won the NFC East, their first title in 27 years. And the Dallas Cowboys, 27, over the St. Louis Cardinals, 6. And tonight, the San Francisco 49ers play host to the Los Angeles Rams, which is how our Cosell usually says. That should be a biggie. Good morning, and welcome to The Waking Crew. For the next hour and 15 minutes, WSM Radio presents live entertainment with Bill McElheide and The Waking Crew Orchestra.
The Waking Crew is a radio show. I enjoy the music, and I try to get on every once in a while. Gil Gillum is with us this morning, and so I just thought we could chat for a while. Okay, all right. Now, you see, you're starting trouble. I'm going to be very serious, because what a lot of people don't realize or know about you, they say, well, there's this 15-year-old, you know, who's mouthing off and telling everybody what he thinks and so forth. Gil is a kidney patient and has had a kidney problem for many years. And more than anybody I know, with a serious ailment, Gil just lives with it and does the best he can. I guess that's just a frame of mind, Gil. Yeah, it really is. Actually, did you ever see the program Run for Your Life starring Ben Gazzara? Yes. Well, I am kind of basing my situation on his, but I don't think I'm going to, you know, I don't have a terminal illness. It can be cured. You know, all it needs is a kidney transplant. And a little, you know, build up from there, and I'll be okay.
I enjoy being on all the other shows, but what I really enjoy about being on the VA is that it's my show, and I can play what I want to play as well as playing what the patient wants to hear. Of course, that keeps me happy and the patient happy. Shelton C., off Toledo, Ohio, wrote in and told us how to make a bunting ketchup. Clothespin, tack, acorn, string and button, and some tape. First, you put the end of the string through the button and out and tie it.
Then, put the other end of the string around the clothespin and tie it. Then, take the cup and put it on top of the clothespin with a tack. Make sure it's kind of tight. Then, if it's kind of loose, then you just put a little tape there. And there you have it, your button catcher. The Penny, sent in by Donna and Gail Desmarais of Rochester, New Hampshire. On Thursday the 12th, Sally came in after a very unlucky and hectic day.
what a day what happened sally you look terrible well to start with a big dog came up to me and ripped my coat then i got stuck in the elevator for about a half an hour then after i bought the groceries, the bag ripped, and I broke a dozen eggs and two bottles of soda. Then I was walking home and big wind came and it started to rain. Oh, you poor dear. You deserve a break. I'm taking you out to dinner. Oh, thank you. That's a great idea. Oh, that's okay. You go get dressed and I'll go pick up this mess. Okay. So Sally and David went to dinner, but unfortunately the restaurant was closed. However, on the way home, Sally's luck began to change. Hey, look. What is it?
A penny. A lucky penny. Oh, you don't believe in that nonsense, do you? Well, my luck is so bad, It couldn't get any worse. Well, go ahead and try it. All right, I get three wishes. So, my first wish is $25 for a new coat. When Sally and David got home, the phone rang. Hello? Oh, hello, Mr. Jugglebee. What? My painting won second prize at the state fair? $25! Wow, that's great! Oh, thank you. Bye. Well, that's just a coincidence. Make another wish. Okay, I will. I know. My mother hasn't visited us for a while, so I wish that my mother would come and visit for a week.
That's crazy. You know your mother's gone on a trip to Florida. So what? I wish she'd come and visit. That'll never come true. We'll see. Will Sally's mother come to visit? Will Solly get her wish? Will her good luck continue? Stay tuned for more of The Penny. Everybody loves a Saturday night! Yeah, yeah! Everybody loves a Saturday night! Yeah, yeah! Everybody, everybody, everybody, everybody Everybody loves a Saturday night. Yeah, yeah! Arriba, arriba! Todo el mundo ama un sábado noche. Sí, señor! Todo el mundo ama un sábado noche. Oh!
Todo el mundo, todo el mundo, todo el mundo, todo el mundo, todo el mundo, amor un sábado anoche. We continue now with the penny. Sally and David are at home. Sally had just wished for her mother to come. David thinks it's crazy. The doorbell rings. I wonder who that could be at this time of night. Mother! What a wonderful surprise. I thought you went somewhere. Oh, never mind. I'm just glad you're here. Well, I'll explain in the morning. I must get some rest. Good night. See? That doesn't prove anything. Make another wish that couldn't possibly come true. Okay. Okay. I wish that we can go on a trip to Hawaii or something. Well, I don't hear the phone ringing.
Well, you have to give it some time to work. Soon Sally and David went to bed, and the next day... Hello? Oh, hello, Mr. Johnson. About the slogan contest, I won? Grand prize is a trip for two to Hawaii? All expenses paid? Wow! Oh, thanks a lot. Goodbye. David, did you hear that? Yeah, I heard. But if you believe in all this superstition, your luck isn't going to hold out too much longer. Today's Friday the 13th. So what? What could possibly go wrong? Hello? Yes, you called me yesterday about... the painting. And I won $25. dollars what sandy smith got it not me she won 25 dollars and not me oh well thanks anyway bye well sorry i'm sorry i have to be leaving what i have a flight to catch

I'm Mr. Johnson, the guy who called about the trip to Hawaii. Oh, yes, we're very excited. Well, I made a mistake. You didn't win the first prize. You won the booby prize, a four-leaf glover, and here it is. I hope it brings you good luck. What is this? Wait. Wait a minute. Goodbye. Oh, no, I'm through with superstition. The end. The end.
