What happens
Fibber McGee and Molly, after hearing a piano concert, decide Fibber will take up piano lessons. Fibber buys an instruction book at the music store and, back home, begins practicing loudly, to Molly's dismay. A neighbor named Mrs. Uppington drops by with some musical opinions, and a piano teacher arrives to give him a lesson. The household's peace is further disturbed as a neighbor, Mr. Gidderslieve, complains about the noise and argues with Fibber. The episode originally aired on NBC Radio on January 21, 1941, and stars Harold Peary, Bill Thompson, Gale Gordon and Arthur Q. Bryan.

Written from the episode itself; it never gives away the ending. Every recording is remastered for the stream: cleaned of rumble, hiss and mains hum (and the old TV whine where we found it), then levelled in two passes to steady broadcast loudness, so one show is never quieter than the next.
