RUSC MAILING

Written by Ned Norris

With gratitude in my heart and classic tunes in my ears, I want to wish you a very Happy Thanksgiving. RUSC old time radio hums along because of you—your enthusiasm, your notes, and your generosity keep the golden age of radio alive for new ears and old friends alike. Thank you for listening, sharing, and caring.

To mark the holiday, I’ve added a special treat today: Songs by Sinatra, originally broadcast November 21, 1945. It’s a Thanksgiving‑time gem—Sinatra opens with a reverent America the Beautiful, then takes a warm musical trip across the country at a moment when families were just beginning to breathe easy again after the war. Marilyn Maxwell brings sparkle without breaking the reflective mood, Louis Prima snaps the rhythm to life, and the finale, The House I Live In, lands with a timeless note of unity. Perfect company while the turkey roasts or the pie cools.

And if you want a steady stream of holiday cheer, I’ve spun up a brand‑new Thanksgiving Special RUSC Radio station—comedy, drama, and variety shows that sound like togetherness feels. Great for the kitchen, the road, or the couch.

Feeling competitive in the friendliest way? Try the Thanksgiving Quiz. Gather the family, swap a few stories, and see who knows their yams from their yarns—with a dash of old‑time nostalgia.

I’m deeply thankful for your support. It lets me restore audio, dig into broadcast history, and curate collections so these remarkable recordings are easy—and fun—to explore. It’s how I can keep adding gems like this Sinatra episode and little seasonal extras that make listening feel special.

From my dial to yours, Happy Thanksgiving. May your day be filled with good company, good memories, and good radio.

Warmly,

Ned & Joy
