    When a programme runs for years, and sometimes decades, it is a proven mark of quality and popularity that would be hard to dispel. 
    The situation comedy ‘Fibber McGee and Molly’ ran from 1935 to 1959 on the NBC Red network and was often the most popular and eagerly awaited show of the week.  
    Fibber was a story-teller prone to mad-cap schemes who was gently eased back into reality by his ever-loving wife Molly.  
    The comic duo, played by the real-life married couple of Jim & Marion Jordan, lived in the working-class community of Wistful Vista.  Here, they played out their adventures amongst neighbours, friends and acquaintances.  Comedy and life came together in an almost perfect blend of American life.  
    79 Wistful Vista was their home visited weekly by an audience that sought refuge from a long line of exhausting real-life events that stretched from the Great Depression, World War 2, Korea and even Rock N Roll.  Here they could find cheer and comfort in the middle of their struggles.  
    With it’s lovable cast, it’s recurring characters, appealing storylines and interludes of music, it was a world that the airwaves and audiences loved.

    All That Jazz - The Life and...

    In 1975, the Broadway musical Chicago brought together a host of memes and myths—the gleefully subversive character of American musical comedy, the reckless glamour of the big-city newspaper, the mad decade of the 1920s, the work of Bob Fosse and Gwen Verdon, and the Wild West gangsterville that was the city of Chicago itself. 
    The tale of a young woman who murders her departing lover and then tricks the jury into letting her off, Chicago seemed too blunt and cynical at first. Everyone agreed it was show biz at its brilliant best, yet the public still preferred A Chorus Line, with its cast of innocents and sentimental feeling. Nevertheless, the 1996 Chicago revival is now the longest-running American musical in history. 
    As author Ethan Mordden looks back at Chicago's various moving parts—including the original 1926 play that started it all, a sexy silent film directed by Cecil B. DeMille, a talkie remake with Ginger Rogers, the musical itself, and at last the movie of the musical—we see how the American theater serves as a kind of alternative news medium, a town crier warning the public about the racy, devious interior contradictions of American society. Opinionated, witty, and rich in backstage anecdotes, All That Jazz brings the American musical to life in all its artistry and excitement.

    Brother Robert - Growing Up with...

    This intimate memoir by blues legend Robert Johnson's stepsister includes new details about his family, music, influences, tragic death, and musical afterlife. 
    Though only twenty-seven years young and relatively unknown at the time of his tragic death in 1938, Robert Johnson's enduring recordings have solidified his status as a progenitor of the Delta Blues style. And yet, while his music has retained the steadfast devotion of modern listeners, much remains unknown about the man who penned and played these timeless tunes. Few people alive today actually remember what Johnson was really like, and those who do have largely upheld their silence—until now. 
    In Brother Robert, nonagenarian Annye Anderson sheds new light on a real-life figure largely obscured by his own legend: her kind and incredibly talented stepbrother, Robert Johnson. This audiobook chronicles Johnson's unconventional path to stardom—from the harrowing story behind his illegitimate birth, to his first strum of the guitar on Anderson's father's knee, to the genre-defining recordings that would one day secure his legacy. 
    Along the way, Anderson not only shares personal anecdotes, but also colorful recollections of Johnson passed down by members of their family—the people who knew him best. She also outlines the contours of Johnson's working life in Memphis, never-before-disclosed details about his romantic history, and all of his favorite things, from foods and entertainers to brands of tobacco and pomade. Together, these stories don't just bring the mythologized Johnson back down to earth; they preserve both his memory and his integrity. 
    For decades, Anderson and her family have ignored the tall tales of Johnson "selling his soul to the devil" and the speculative to fictionalized accounts of his life that passed for biography. Brother Robert is here to set the record straight. Featuring a foreword by Elijah Wald and a Q&A with Anderson, Lauterbach, Wald, and Peter Guralnick, this audiobook paints a vivid portrait of an elusive figure who forever changed the musical landscape as we know it.
