Golden Age of Radio looks forward to spring and the upcoming baseball season with help from Abbott and Costello when it meets Thursday, March 7, at 1 p.m. in the Town of Fountain Hills Community Center.

When it comes to baseball, nobody got more laughs out of the game than Abbott and Costello, a press release read.

Golden Age of Radio will observe this springtime event with a classic Abbott and Costello baseball program, which includes the comedy duo’s famous “Who’s On First?” skit.

Abbott and Costello gained national fame through multiple appearances on Kate Smith’s radio program, “The Kate Smith Hour. This led to their own radio show and, in 1940, the release of their first of many motion pictures, “Buck Privates.”

The “Abbott and Costello Show” and other classic radio programs are archived in the Golden Age of Radio’s Bruce Florence Library, an extensive collection of timeless radio broadcasts on records, cassette tapes and CDs.

Membership in the Community Center is required to attend meetings of the Golden Age of Radio. For more information, contact Bill Whittaker at 480-837-7961 or the Community Center at 480-816-5200.

From the twilight of the Jazz Age to the dawn of the Space Age, The Golden Age of Radio celebrates the reign of the first electronic medium, the then-modern miracle that brought news, entertainment and information into homes throughout a significant period of history.
