Dean, Jerry and Virginia do their version of "A Street Car Named Max" and the 3 sing a take off of The Trolley Song (originally sung by Judy Garland from Meet Me in St. Louis) where Jerry (Max the Trolley) falls in love with Virginia's character and steals her from Dean.

A surprise guest Betty Mills from Radio TV Mirror Magazine gives congratulations to Dean and Jerry for being their readers' favorite radio comedy!

The Rat Pack at The Rosebud



Where I live in East-Central Illinois we're fortunate to be blessed with some great venues for live entertainment. Among them is The Rosebud Theatre, a luxurious state-of-the-art facility at the "Crossroads of America" in Effingham, Illinois.

The Rosebud plays host to a wonderful variety of entertainment, from top-name musical acts to stage productions of all sorts.

Coming up on Saturday, February 28th, we'll be enjoying The Rat Pack Live From Las Vegas, a tribute to Frank Sinatra, Dean Martin and Sammy Davis, Jr. that has won praise and critical acclaim in Las Vegas and around the country.

Effingham is easily accessible by car (located, as it is, at the intersection of I-57 and I-70) and by Amtrak, and there are great accommodations near the Theatre for those traveling any distance. I'd certainly encourage you to check out this production, as well as the other upcoming performances at The Rosebud.

Look for a review of the show some time in March.
