Follow The Guide Posts

I'm still trying to get some of the spoken word stuff I recorded out a little early in the season, so here's an interesting one that seems to be pretty hard to find.  It was part of a large collection I bought off eBay a couple months ago that had come from an old radio station that never seemed to throw anything away.  Some of the more interesting things I hope to share out this season came from that stash, so it was money well spent.  These stories were put on vinyl by Guideposts magazine and sent to radio stations that might want to play them during the holiday season.  Maybe you'll want to do the same thing on your Christmas comp.  This is Dick Van Dyke & Irene Dunne-Christmas Stories From Guideposts (Guideposts Records GP 114, Mono, 1967). Unfortunately, they don't interact with each other, but each artist gets a side. Irene Dunne is side 1, Rob Petrie is side 2.
