Golden Age of Radio presents a Thanksgiving feast of songs, silliness and laughter when the “Phil Harris and Alice Faye” radio program visits at its meeting Thursday, Nov. 7, at 1 p.m. in the Fountain Hills Community Center.

The Phil Harris-Alice Faye Show officially hit the airwaves on Oct. 3, 1948, according to a press release.

It was a spinoff from the Fitch Bandwagon program and NBC inserted it between the top-rated Jack Benny and Edgar Bergen shows as a part of NBC’s “Sunday Is Funday” lineup.

On the show, Phil Harris played the egotistical, smart-alec character he had perfected during his years as Jack Benny’s bandleader. Alice Faye, Harris’ movie star wife, recreated her real life as a film star turned devoted housewife.

The supporting cast included Walter Tetley as the insufferable delivery boy Julius Abbruzio and Elliott Lewis impersonated Harris’ left-handed guitarist Frankie Remley in the early shows but played himself in the later episodes.

Many classic radio programs are contained in the extensive Golden Age of Radio Bruce Florence Library, timeless radio broadcasts on records, cassette tapes and compact discs.

Membership in the Community Center is required to attend meetings of the Golden Age of Radio.

From the twilight of the Jazz Age to the dawn of the Space Age, the Golden Age of Radio celebrates the reign of the first electronic medium, the then-modern miracle that brought news, entertainment and information into homes throughout a significant period of history.
