Thank you, Foster. Thank you. I know my first guest tonight is going to please everybody, especially the boys, because I don't know anything the average boy would rather play next to Hooky than a harmonica.

I remember when I was a kid, I always looked forward to the day when my mother would save enough coupons from the boxes of Mother Nature's health staff for the relief of falling hair and spreading toes, to get me a harmonica pre, and I used to go out in the cornfield and practice with an air corn sliding it up and back across my mouth,

and do you know that by the time I got the technique down past, there wasn't an air corn within 12 miles, and the government had to put all the crows on home release. But tonight we have with us a young man for Baltimore internationally regarded as the finest harmonica player in the world,

in the world. Right now he's on his way to Hollywood to make Broadway Melody in 1937. Recently he played before the Jews and Duchess of York and the boy was so good that two weeks later they became King and Queen of England.
