Jack Benny radio show 1/31/37 Nightmares of Fred Allen 

The terrible flood referred to in the closing PSA was the Ohio River Flood, which began in January 1937, and lasted into February.

The Flood that is referred to by Don Wilson in the Closing is the Great Flood of 1937 the worst flood in the history of Cincinnati and other Cities along the Ohio River. Gives you a nice historical point of reference.

Another great episode. I started off listening to Dennis Day, so Kenny Baker is new to me. The kid is growing on me.

The Allen Benny fued was all for show. They were really very good friends. In fact Benny was on Fred's last show in 1949.

Peter Lind Hayes impersonates Fred in Jack's "nightmare".

I guess it's youth, but Jack & Mary sound so different (high-pitched) as opposed to the television programs.

I'm new to this. kinda don't want to listen to Fred Allen cause if he's good I'll feel like a traitor. I'd hate to betray good ol Rochester.

The best - giants
