Various Artists - Dick Tracy In B-Flat (1945)
During WWII, the Pentagon created the Armed Forces Radio Service to provide entertainment for the troops. Like the V-Disc program for musical recordings, AFRS had first call on the top names in Hollywood. This episode of Command Performance from February 1945 represented the pinnacle of what we now call "old time radio".
A bevy of stars including Bing Crosby, Bob Hope, Frank Sinatra, Judy Garland, The Andrews Sisters and more took part in a still-hilarious send up of Dick Tracy and detective drama in general. The dialog and song parodies have a such a sharp edge that this program could never have appeared on commercial radio but the GI's, sailors and Marines for whom it was designed loved it.

Ed McCurdy - The Best Of Ed McCurdy (Prestige International 1961)
Vinyl Rip Of The Day.
Mighty fine folk music with Ed’s voice and guitar supported by guitar and banjo from Dick Weissman. Dick would go on to form The Journeymen, a folk trio, with Scott “San Francisco” McKenzie and “Papa” John Phillips.

This is too straight-up piano bar music for me. He plays well, but nothing stands out.
[I listened to the whole thing...
well, unitl my dogger asked for walkees.]

James King - Three Chords And The Truth (2013)
This is so far out of my wheelhouse, it's like a tornado picked me up and set me down 20 miles away.
