The second of four programmes in which Dave Gelly delves into the archives of the popular music press to find out what was being said at the time about future legends and long-forgotten crazes, the hot topics in the letters columns, the unbelievable prices in the adverts - all tied together with evocative music. Tonight, the music includes Louis Armstrong ,
Mel Torme and the Goons - and what was bandleader
Geraldo doing on the liner Queen Mary in 1948? An Encore Radio production
