A special treat for Presidents' Day
As any good American will know Washington's Birthday is a United States federal holiday celebrated on the third Monday of February in honor of George Washington, but there was another rather famous US President who had a birthday in February.
I was trying to think of something presidential to do today and figured why not put together a list of shows relating to Abraham Lincoln. It wasn't long before I'd got a list of a dozen, then two dozen, and then before I knew it I was up to three dozen. Presidents past and present were certainly popular back in the golden days of radio.
