Broadcast live from St. Louis, Spike Jones and his City Slickers bring their signature brand of musical zany fun to the airwaves!
The show kicks off with a lively rendition of “Shine” before Spike takes a moment to greet the St. Louis audience. Joining the fun is “The Park Avenue Hillbilly” herself, Dorothy Shea, who trades quips with Spike about fashion and popular radio quiz shows before delivering a hilarious performance of “Finishing School Was the Finish of Me”.
Continuing the quiz show theme, guest pianist Eddie Heywood and his Trio join Spike and Dorothy, delighting listeners with a spectacular arrangement of the classic “Begin the Beguine”. Spike and Georgie Rock keep the comedic energy going with a whimsical poem, followed by Dorothy returning to the mic for a warm rendition of “Hooray for Love”.
Doodles Weaver steps up to the microphone as the beloved Professor Feetlebaum, in fine comedic voice with “In the Merry Month of May”. To wrap up the broadcast, the cast joins together for a grand traveling music medley, blending “Chicago,” “St. Louis Blues,” and “San Fernando Valley” into a fantastic finale.
