Once again, Russell focuses on a relatively obscure name from the songwriting world to discover a gem or two and some fine curios to boot. This week it's John Jacob Loeb.
Once again, Russell focuses on a relatively obscure name from the songwriting world to discover a gem or two and some fine curios to boot. This week it's John Jacob Loeb, who produced a number of modest successes in the 30s and 40s.
We open with a Mary Martin track from a new compilation of the musical actress's work and follow with her duet with son Larry Hagman.
Answers to listeners' queries occupy the centre of the show and we close, reviewing three recently received albums.
