What happens
Phil Harris and his band agree to play a dance at Glendale High School after students insist on them, despite a previous commitment. Harris enjoys the attention from the teenagers, while his wife Alice Faye and his friends tease him about his age and popularity. Harris arrives at the dance with his wife and the band, and the evening brings a series of comic misunderstandings as he watches Alice dance with the high school boys. The episode is from The Phil Harris series, originally broadcast on NBC on November 2, 1947, starring Phil Harris and Alice Faye, with Elliott Lewis and Gale Gordon.

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.
