Dorothy Donogan plays a classic from Rock Maninoff. Ernie reads more greetings and requests from the mailbag, then the Sweethearts are back to play, Lady Be Good. Awsome extended drum solo.
Ernie leaves the troops with a jivey last word.
Note: As a reminder, many of the shows produced by AFRS are undated, but some are not. Just because a show is given a particular date doesn’t mean it didn’t also air on a later date as well. In the case of Jubilee, when no date is present, I put the date on it based on the show number and under the assumption that the shows were generally weekly. It’s a matter of doing the math.
