GI Jive – Stan Kenton, Eager Beaver. ep704, 1944.

Requests are handled by every Gi’s favorite DJ, GI Jill. She dedicates the songs, and plays them for service men serving overseas.

  1. Stan Kinton plays, Eager Beaver.
  2. Bing Crosby sings, Going My Way.
  3. Delta Rhythm Boys sing, Take the A Train.
  4. Jill responds to a letter requesting a date, and warns her off of sergeants.
  5. Glenn Miller plays, Rhapsody in Blue.

Note: For the first 600 or so episodes both credited and uncredited disc jockeys were used. Sometime these were servicemen who had a good radio voice and an interest in jazz, but many times a WAAC or WAV, or else a Hollywood Pin-Up Girl would be called to the microphone. Virginia Gilmore, Jane Wyman, Ann Rutherford, and Ethel Smith were among the guest DJ’s.
