Murder in Jazz Time

Mutual presents the Mysterious Traveler. This is the Mysterious Traveler. Inviting you to join me on another journey into the realm of the strange and the terrifying.

I hope you will enjoy the trip, and it will thrill you a little and chill you a little. So settle back, get a good grip on your nerves and be comfortable if you can. you hear the story I call Murder in Jazz Time. Tonight we're going to delve into the strange and confusing events in the life of Alexander Drake. But what person can

tell you of these events that have an Alex Drake himself? As our story begins Drake is seated at a small table staring at several blank sheets of writing paper. Slowly he picks up a pen, hesitates, and starts to write.

I scarcely know at what point to begin telling of the things that have happened to me these past months. I suppose I should begin with Vicki. Vicki, who I have loved ever since we were children.

If my love was never returned by her, I was cut into weight. hopeful that someday she would reciprocate my feelings. We saw a great deal of each other after she graduated college and I watched with interest as she embarked upon a singing career. Success came to Vicki quickly and smoothly as all things did. She sang with several name

bands and then became a star attraction at the Swankio nightclubs. Several years passed And then one night, as I had always dreamed of it happening, Vicki agreed to marry me. That was the happiest moment of my life.

A week later, we were married and driving to New Orleans on our honeymoon. Happy darling? Oh, yes, Alex, yes. No regrets about giving up your career? None at all. Oh, it's good of you to say that, Vicki.
