About one month before the Japanese surrendered to end WW II, this Armed Forces Radio Service broadcast of "Command Performance" went out over shortwave radios to our troops at war. The show features announcer Ken Carpenter, Bing Crosby, Tommy Dorsey Orchestra, Martha Wilkerson (GI Jill), Spike Jones and the City Slickers. Lots of music and a few comedy skits making fun of Bing's recent role in "The Bells of St. Mary's" and references to Bob Hope as his co-star in the road shows of the 1940's. Listen here, on Itunes or Google Play Music... search their Podcast list for "Heirloom Radio" www.facebook.com/heirloomradio Thank you for listening.
