What happens
Irma Peterson and her roommate Jane Stacy live next door to Professor Kropotkin, an elderly musician who has been shut away writing a concerto. Irma and Jane grow worried when he stops answering his door, then find he has finished the piece and is off seeking a publisher. Irma and her friend Al decide to help by attaching their own words to his music and selling it, hoping to ease his money troubles. The episode is part of the My Friend Irma series, first aired on CBS Radio on February 16, 1948, with Marie Wilson as Irma and Cathy Lewis as Jane.
A boarding house in New York City, with the professor's room, the girls' apartment, and music publishers' offices.

Listen for: Irma's mangled song lyrics and the professor's concerto being sold without his knowledge.
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.
