In this Steve Allen program excerpt, Gene Autry reminisces about the early Chicago radio world, including WLS performers, recording sessions and entertainers he knew during radio's earlier decades. The conversation ranges through memories of old broadcasting personalities and the way radio stars could be famous without being visually recognized, with Gene contributing anecdotes from his own years in the medium. It is an informal historical conversation rather than a Melody Ranch drama.
This recording comes from Melody Ranch.
