Shellac Stack No. 174 swelters with some hot music — from the orchestras of George Olsen, Fred Elizalde, and Johnny McGee (no relation to Fibber!), to personalities like Ethel Merman, Jimmy Durante, and Gene Austin. We even hear from the Quintet of the Hot Club of France and the Massed Bands of the Aldershot Command. (Where else will you find them back-to-back on the same program?) Grab a cold one and tune in!
