Shows For Presidents' Day Monday 16th February 2009

I hope that you enjoyed the Cavalcade of America story The Girl Lincoln Loved that went live on RUSC recently. Well Cavalcade has come good again with a little known story about a double crisis in the life of our first president which began six weeks after his inauguration. It is entitled The President And The Doctor and stars Basil Rathbone as George Washington and Thomas Mitchell as Dr Samuel Bard.

On Sunday the 22nd February 2009 to mark George Washington's birthday I will be adding an episode of the Fred Allen Show - Town Hall Tonight that was originally broadcast seventy years ago on 22nd February 1939!
