Reviewing an unrelated article in the Wall Street Journal involving "sins of the Father' the subject the article revolved about is a now prison inmate named Gordon MacRae.
Hmmmm....where have I heard that name before?. Turns out that was the name of the vocal artist featured on the Association of Amnerican Railroads sponsored weekly radio show titled "The Railroad Hour".
Every so often, the syndicated radio show "Those Were the Days" offers selections from this 1940's-50's production. Other than some ad copy, it had little, in fact nothing, to do with the railroad industry.
I once remember as a kid "staying up' to listen to the show. Wonder why I only did so once. But otherwise, anyone else remember the show?
