The Railroad Hour, Volume 3
“Ladies and Gentlemen, The Railroad Hour!” This opening line, delivered by announcer Marvin Miller, along with whistles, hissing steam escaping from smoke stacks, and other train sounds heralded the beginning of each episode of one of the most beloved music programs of the golden age of radio! The Railroad Hour presented vest-pocket versions of some of the most popular and beloved musicals and operettas of all time - everything from romantic melodies to then modern musical comedies. Gordon MacRae, noted baritone, acted as conductor as he led listeners through recreations of musicals, operettas, and even the careers of some of the greatest American composers and lyricists each week.
