Fitch Bandwagon

First up today is the second part only of Woody's first Fitch, which is a shame because he only appeared twice as far as I can tell. It is also a rare, by now, network show.

An extra one today because of my mistake from yesterday. This one is a transfer from an ET, where the first few grooves were in very bad shape. It's only the first 30 secs that are a problem and I've done my best to clean it up.

I have now received the script summary for the previously posted 1944-11-05 Freddy Martin show and can confirm that it is not the show that I posted. Before I suggest a different date for it I'm going to request the scripts for Oct 1 and Dec 31 of 1944, which were also Freddy Martin appearances. That should sort them all out date-wise. The upcoming 1945 show is auto verified as the location is mentioned during the show.

First up today is the edited, network version of the BG show from yesterday.
