We scanned two more pictures included in the Jack Benny CD set we listened to a bit ago, but I never uploaded it. So, here they are:

Over the weekend we breezed through another CD Collection. I've always heard of the name Jack Benny but I am so glad that I got the chance to listen to his work. I've really enjoyed it. I don't know how much more I'll be able to find via the libraries but I definitely plan to find out.

We finished up another another set of Radio Shows on CD. They were pretty good. It was the History of Radio collection of "Great Suspense Radio Shows". There were 3 CDs with each having 2 episodes running about 1/2 hour each - including commercials.
Here are the classic programs we heard with the description from the back of the case
1. "Circumstantial Terror " Ronald Reagan
March 8, 1954: A man witnesses a crime and is ultimately blamed for it (29:27)
2. "Uncle Henry's Rosebush" Agnes Moorehead
June 29, 1943: Uncle Henry is missing (7:40)
3. "The Face is Familiar" Jack Benny
January 18, 1954: A man is tricked into robbing a bank (29:22)
4. "Woman in Red" Hans Conried
April 6, 1944: A murder is planned by a group of spies in Germany during World War II (28:28)

Looks like we'll be finishing up this series tonight or tomorrow. I do wish they would have included some of the older commercials on them. It was nice that the case includes the day it aired (all of them from before I was born).

We picked up these audio cassettes from the library on Saturday. We started it yesterday but have decided to use it for our daily BOT hour. I actually liked the Jack Benny show segment and will see if I can get some more of those. There were 4 cassettes but I'm noticing that the 4th tape belonged to a different set. I'm going to see if we can finish this today so I can take it back to the library tomorrow.
We were also planning on listening to Cell by Stephen King but the track two is jumpy. I'm a bit bummed by that. My high school years were filled with Stephen King and I always look forward to sharing them with my family. I'm hoping we can just clean the CD but I'm not going to count on it
