Daring George Burns and Gracie Alice. With yours truly Bill Goodwin and the music of Meredith Wilson and his orchestra. Here's Meredith Wilson with his chiffon arrangement of If I Love You. At the Burns home today we find George and Gracie discussing the problems of their next door neighbor, Meredith Wilson.
So Meredith has got us up over George. He has a date tonight and I want you to give him some advice about women. What? A game? Why doesn't his father have a talk with him?
Oh, oh, oh, oh! His father is even shy with women and narratives. Oh, so he got a shyness from his father? Yes, and not only affected narratives, but his ten brothers and fourteen sisters. Ah!

I wish you could remember a little of it. I'll try. Oh, this must be married. Come in. Howdy, folks. Hello, Meredith. Gracie tells me you have a date tonight, Meredith. Surely you have. Her name is Peggy and I'm awful anxious to make a good impression.
