Great Gildersleeve – Jolly Boys Band. ep340, 491123

Harold Peary at the microphone, wearing a suit and hat. A black and white photograph of Harold Peary, a man in a suit and tie, smiling and looking off to the side. He is standing in front of a plain background, with his hands in his pockets. Peary was a comedian and actor, best known for his role as "The Great Gildersleeve" on radio and television in the 1940s and 1950s. The photograph conveys a sense of classic Hollywood glamour and style.
Harold Peary in his heyday as the Great Gildersleeve.

Leroy gives Gildersleeve grief about going to school. Gildy goes to sing with his Jolly Boys who sing a few bars of, Rambling Rose.

Back home, Leroy has a surprise for Gildy, a slide trombone. It might just be the first time the boy has been excited about school, but it’s annoying to Gildersleeve.

After being tempted to fiddle with the trombone, Gildersleeve wants to play the horn as part of the Jolly Boys Club and form a band. What will Peavey have to say about the inspiration? The guys are for the idea, but Gildy gets to learn, in a humorous way, what complications are involved in getting a band off the ground.

Do the Jolly boys have a new skill set to add to their resumes? Maybe, if arguing can be counted as a skill.
