Is that furled flag under the Penn Beer sign the flag of Busby's? Perhaps it turns out to be the Jolly Roger when you see their prices.

I can't believe the Olde Codger is ending his show! My grandfather worked for Edison making those old 78's. He even stuck some in his pants to bring home!

I really hope Courtney and pals will all eventually be back together on the airwaves. I'm genuinely sad at the thought of the show potentially ending for good. It's really special to feel this way about a radio show. Hats off to the team. I appreciate so much the memories and the knowledge I gained. I guess for the time being, I'll have to settle for the archives and old Flip the Frog clips while keeping my 1927 calendar close to me. Thanks for putting together something really special and giving me a taste of what radio was like when it was at its best. I hope you'll all be back soon but have a great summer!
