Schaden Scrapbook

Hello!

Over the years we have collected an awful lot of personal memories and favorite things – all dealing with the Good Old Days of Radio. We have some video as well as print coverage of our activities plus lots of other things that we’ve kept fondly throughout our 39 years on the air.

You’ll find a few of these nostalgic souvenirs right here, right now. Start with the Video at the left and then click on any of the Galleries below to see what else we have for you. We’ll make some changes from time to time, so be sure to check here again whenever you pay us a visit. No charge for browsing!

61st ANNIVERSARY OF JACK BENNY’S 39th BIRTHDAY (Feb. 13,1994)

Honoring old-time radio’s favorite comedian on his centennial birthday. The event opens with a Benny video montage prepared by Brian Johnson. Chuck Schaden welcomes and interviews guests Joan Benny (Jack’s daughter) and Bobby Blumoff (Joan’s son, Jack’s grandson). Later Joan, as Mary Livingston, and Bobby, as a bakery man, join the Those Were The Days Radio Players, including Chicago TV weatherman Harry Volkman as Dennis Day, in the performance of an original script by Ken Alexander, who doubles as Senor Sy. This event was later broadcast April 30, 1994 on Those Were The Days. (Approx. 88 minutes) .
