The Jack Benny Program Old Tiime zhouyingfu The Jack Benny Program, which starred no less than Jack Benny himself, was a comedy series than went on-air for more than 30 years in both radio and television. It premiered on NBC Blue on May 2, 1932, and had its last episode on CBS radio on May 22, 1955, producing a total of 931 episodes. The TV adaptation, which was just a continuation of the radio program, was aired from 1950 to 1965.Apart from lead character Jack Benny, other radio stars included in the show were Eddie Anderson, Don Wilson, Dennis Day, Mary Livingstone, Phil Harris, Mel Blanc, and many more.The show made use of a show-within-format, where each character's role was no other than themselves. It would start with a performance from the orchestra, or sometimes a joke between Benny and Wilson. This was followed by gags between Benny and the rest of the cast, usually about the day's news, or about the characters themselves, most especially something about Benny's life.

One Step Away Disco Bunny Orchestra Words + Music by Stefan Diamante Copyright © 2025 Stefan Diamante | All Rights Reserved The Forest Reclaims the Land Matthias McIntire Matthias McIntire, composer and leader;One Found Sound orchestra; Program Note:I have often imagined what the San Francisco peninsula might have been like before it was settled in 1776. It must have been a place of wild beauty; old-growth forests meeting dunes and cliffs and the Pacific. Before the concept of ‘city’ had taken hold, the forests must have been dense and dark and thronging with creatures. In The Forest Reclaims the Land, I have imagined a future for San Francisco where the people have gone and the forest flourishes once again. I have tried to capture the feeling of the old, dense forest, as well as the life that breathes within it.
