Great to hear the unforgettable voice of the incomparable WEVD radio host Tzvi Skuler, who could read the driest piece of info and make it sound fascinating. His reading of Sholom Aleichem stories, and his intros to whatever was on the program made them sound live and real (He was also a professional actor in many Jewish films in Yiddish and English). Oh, and great music, of course.
BTW, since he says in the intro that "tonight will be the eleventh yahrtzeit of Reb Shaul Yedidyah Zt"l," that would mean that this program was aired on Thursday, Nov. 27, 1958. This would mean that Reb Ben Tzion Shenker was 33 years old at the time.
