Hudson River Radio .com

Hudson River Radio's own Big Jim Wheeler is thrilled to share his personal collection of classic radio shows from the 1930s, 1940s, 1950s, and 1960s! Jim grew up on a farm in upstate New York, where TV shows were scarce, and where radio was king. It was a time where families would gather around the radio to hear the latest episode of their favorite shows.

Davy Crockett Goes To Congress

Classic Radio Theater

11/22/21 • 13 min

“Davy Crockett Goes To Congress,” is part two of a three part album titled “Three Adventures of Davy Crockett.” Fess Parkers plays his iconic role as Crockett, and Buddy Ebsen plays the narrator, Georgie Russell. It has been digitized from the original vinyl, including all the pops, crackles, and skips. It is also wildly historically inaccurate, and contains obsolete and offensive language that was used in children’s stories by Walt Disney in 1958. Enjoy...?
