Wisconsin Dells and The Cave WBBM – August 25, 1968

They keep it light and lively— Wisconsin Dells and The Cave WBBM in their own words. I recall we did a show earlier this spring on the Dells, didn’t we? Yes, we did, and we suggested that everybody should charge up to Wisconsin Dells because it was too far, so it’s not an expensive trip, a back easy weekend trip, and we recommended that everybody go in June and beat crowd. So we went in August and joined the crowds.

Grand Canyon WBBM – September 1, 1968

Captured on the go— Grand Canyon WBBM in their own words. You leave after work, you board a jet, you have a dinner, you kind of stretch out and maybe look at a newspaper, and you’re there. Phoenix is low, Flagstaff is high, like up in the mountains, and it began to be hard little pellets and then sleet, and then by the time we went through Flagstaff, it was snowing like the middle of January a couple of years ago here in Chicago. There hadn’t been any snow at that point in Chicago.

Guest Polly Murray of McCormick Spices – 1968

A quick slice of the late‑60s— December 1968. Guest Polly Murray of McCormick Spices in their own words. And I wonder if anyone’s ever used or tried cinnamon in brownies, because chocolate and cinnamon go very, very well together. So this could be something they could be to put just a little bit of cinnamon in. And incidentally, if you’re having guests in for Christmas, let’s maybe cut little tiny squares of brownies, just bite-sized ones that are nice to eat, rather than the larger ones.

1968 Guest is Henry Ringling North – 1968

They keep it light and lively— 1968 Guest is Henry Ringling North in their own words. Oh, well, I won’t start being reminiscent But the other night Joe and I took our youngsters and we went down to the opening of the circus Ringling brothers Barnum and Bailey down at the amphitheater And you know you just sort of get swept up in nostalgia and watching these kids and very adult people too Who just work themselves to death then afterwards? So we want everybody to join in today My mother used to spend her summers in bearaboo when she was a little girl And so she was rather blasé about circus stuff, you know when I was a kid I had to fight to get to go to the circus because she just sort of thought everybody does But we’re we’re fascinated and have been for so long and we take our children up to bearaboo to the circus world museum Well, probably once a year just to see that and sort of keep in touch Do you ever get to bearaboo anytime the circus is playing near there when we’re in Madison or Well, I generally when we run from Minneapolis to Chicago. I was born here in Chicago But just because mother wanted to have me in the hospital and I was brought up in Baraboo between Baraboo and Sarasota, Florida What was it like?

1969 Tip Pyle is guest (9 min) WBBM – 1969

This one drops you right into their day— 1969 Tip Pyle is guest (9 min) WBBM in their own words. But they soon settled down after takeoff, and they became rather playful because we had a row of seats for human beings and people who were accompanying the elephants. Well, we did manage to train one of them for the beginning of her circus career. In the bright sunshine, they appear to glitter and sparkle as if they were covered with neon lighting all over.
