Hello, Codger fans. Tonight's show will be starting on time (6pm Eastern) and attendance will be taken. I am Lolabelle, Courtney's agent and playlist supervisor. I will be moderating during the show. Please behave, especially you hot patooties and Good-Time Charleys.

Courtney wants me to warn you all that there is a crime syndicate (MoLevy Ent.) selling FAKE Vocalion 78s. These are counterfeit and you should not buy them. If you see labels that list any of these artists, put them down and walk away from the seller:

Dolly Duke and Her Menstrual Minstrels
Lucy the Warbling Landlady
Blind Clarence Muckton
The Unhappiness Boys
Tyrone ("Third Leg") Pines
Cornelius "Daffy" Duckford

Also we are so sorry again about the horrid program that precedes the Codger. We have informed management that we are not happy with the unspeakably rude sounds featured by Fablo and that a different host with tastes more in line with Courtney's would make a better lead-in to what is surely WFMU's flagship program.

@Wendy, the premise is Levy and Catherine O'Hara buy a motel in the woods as an investment, and everything immediately falls apart. A lot like Green Acres, rich city folk coming to a quirky small town. Over the top acting. Think Bobby Bittman and Lola Heatherton.
