tarts with The Efficiency Expert Checks It Out, 1929-01-15. The efficiency expert starts out with big plans for the Fresh Air Taxi company. His first obstacle though is to overcome Andy’s record keeping, and business practices.

The second feature is, The Maestro, 1943-10-15.
It features pianist, Jose Iterbi. If parts of this show sound familiar to regular podcast listeners, it’s because they did a condensed version on a Command Performance episode. I’ll need to search the shows, but I think it was back in June. The idea is that Andy has just completed a corespondence course to be a pianist. The fact that he doesn’t own a piano doesn’t stop him, and Kingfish, in opening a music school. In the quest for students, they stumble on the man who Amos had locked on to perform for the Mystic Knights of the Sea, lodge hall. Imagine Andy’s surprise to learn that his first student, Jose Iterbi has learned so quickly.
