Make a Donation and Truly Receive Something Special!

Our Big Band packages are one of a kind, and are truly that. They are our own original productions and are not sold anywhere.

These aren't just the records we've heard before. They are the stars themselves bringing us into the time when they recorded them in their own candid words.

You may have already enjoyed some of our award winning productions since we've made a good number of them available to the public for free.

If you haven't enjoyed them, here they are.

But for those of you who have already enjoyed them please help us.

Just like PBS, WYYR is listener supported

If you have enjoyed any of these productions and/or are still enjoying them week after week, any donation would greatly be appreciated!

This way we can know for sure this platform can continue.

 3. Patty Andrews Interview 

4. Kitty Kallen Interview

 You also get 4 extra bonuses....

The Jo Stafford Interview 

Primarily about her days with the Tommy Dorsey Orchestra with the Pied Pipers and Frank Sinatra which until this point has almost gone undocumented. Great records, great stories!

The Bea Wain Interview

 All of her hits with the Larry Clinton Orchestra. Plus all of her memories. Amazing show!

The Frances Langford Interview 

Very very special production as we get to not only hear her thoughts, but also her records as well as some soundtrack pieces from some of her many films. A most requested program!

PLUS...

Doris Day's last interview!

The Doris Day last interview is quite an anomaly to say the least. It was produced when Les Brown was celebrating his 85th birthday and Doris couldn't resist being a part of it. This program has Les Brown commenting on his records throughout, as well as Doris who goes deeply into her movie career. Plus Steve Allen who worked with Les as well as vocalist Butch Stone who was a vocalist with the band from '42 until his recent departure in 2009.

8 Great Productions!

Act now and we'll also throw in the Connie Haines Interview!

Here is Connie with Frank plus her studio portrait.
