Dennis Day had a magnificent singing voice that was both lyrical and powerful. On the medley of sacred Christmas carols, he sings these songs as they were written, without the screeching and caterwauling that today's so-called pop singers indulge in.
I love the Jack Benny Christmas Specials. I remember hearing when the group was in Palms Springs, and I think it was Los Angeles or Beverly Hills. There was the guy, Sheldon Leonard who always spoke words relating to a horse race.
Hi, I don't know if you're still interested in listening to the episode referencing Glenn Miller, but I found it. I was trying to find the Christmas Shopping radio episode where Jack is thinking of getting his sister, Florence a nightgown. The gown seems to have loops on it, and the salesman, pronounces it, "da loops". I love it. I didn't find the one I was looking for, but had just listened to the one you're searching for and read your comment. Anyway, the show you're looking for is on YT. It is dated 12/14/41 and entitled, "The Jack Benny Program, 'Buys Dennis A Bird On A Stick'. Credit to Ferdinand Cesarano's channel for putting it on YT. On his playlist, I believe it is #43. At around the 12:46-12:47 mark, Phil comes in and that's when Jack says the line about Glenn Miller. Hope you have a very Merry Christmas!

Merry Christmas 2023! 🎄⛇ 🎅 🎁
Some of the best radio and television shows are the Christmas episodes.
I had so many belly laughs listening to this!! Thank you so much!
The first program of this was on December 13, 1938. I have a picture of my late mother with her class in that year.
My mom was 10 years old in 38..😊
When I think of Jack's shopping trips I think of Frank Nelson as the Floor Walker. Classic.
"Yyehhhhh-ssss?"
Oooh! Do I!

Radio City Music Hall is in Rockefeller Center in Midtown Manhattan. I am a New Yorker who grew up there.

"Bud...hey, Bud! C'mere a minute."
@@steveb9151 That's him!
The racetrack tout, he was the best!
@@mmeellxx3919 Someone brought up the Floorwalker Frank Nelson. He was good too. I will watch them all tonight, and I will enjoy them.
@@kimberlykasimoff1447 gotta love Frank Nelson as Jack’s foil in all episodes! 😂
The early shows from the late thirties were much funnier and more spontaneous-sounding than the predictable, formulaic shows from the forties.
