Yours truly, Johnny Deller. And the Hello and welcome to another midweek quarantine comedy bonus episode of Down These Mean Streets. I hope you're staying safe out there, especially now as some

states are beginning to reopen for business. Around these parts where midway through our ninth week of staying at home and the last few weeks have been even tougher with spring in the air.

Since we can't enjoy the beautiful weather outside as much as we'd like, I thought this week I'd share a pair of comedies celebrating the season.

First up is a visit to 79 wistful vista with Fibre McGee and Molly.

In this episode originally aired on NBC on May 11th, 1943, Fibibber has a new barometer, and despite the month it's calling for snow tomorrow.

And Fibber is delivering that dubious news to everyone in town.

Bill Thompson and Arthur Q Bryan drop by as Mr. Wimpel and Doc Gamble respectively, and Harlow Wilcox is on hand to pitch for Johnson's

Wax.

Then in an episode from March 23, 1948, Milton Burrell and his radio gang, including Arnold Stang and

Pert Kelton, present their salute to Spring. The Milton Burrell show is one of my favorite old-time radio comedies and it's always a treat to play an episode.

Join Fibre and Molly and Uncle Milty and get a case of spring fever right after these messages.

Billy Brown, the smoothest guy in town.

The chicks all seem to tick his jive.

Hey, tell us, Bill, how can we arrive?

It's easy, Jack. Any gal gets said when you flash a smile by Peps, you'll wonder where the yellow went when you best shoot teeth with Peps so dents.

Peps' new improved formula clean steeped whiter than ever, tastes brighter too.
