New Music In The ZB Air
"HREE bright new musical programmes for ZB listeners are "The Star Parade" (Thursdays and Saturdays at 7.30 p.m. from all ZB stations), "You Ain’t Heard Nothin’ Yet" (Tuesdays at 8.0 p.m, from all ZB stations), and "Ambassadors of Music’ (Thursdays at 8.0 p.m. from all ZB stations). "The Star Parade" is compéred by Ron Randell, and features a number of well-known Australian entertainers, including Jack Davey, Stella Smith and "Mo" (Roy Rene). It consists of a pleasant mixture of music and comedy. "You Ain’t Heard Nothin’ Yet" is also entertainment of the radio revue type. It stars and is produced by Bob Dyer, self-termed "last of the Tennessee hill-billies,’" who toured New Zealand with the Marcus Show, and stayed behind in Australia to make a name for himself in Australian radio and vaudeville. He is assisted by several other artists, including a cowboy singer "Smiling Billy" Blinkhorn, who, in one programme, sings what must be Australia’s first native hillbilly song, "Poor Ned Kelly," which would seem to indicate that Ned Kelly has achieved real fame. at last. "Ambassadors of Music," which is another musical revue, presenting well known overseas recording artists, has started from all the ZB stations; "You Ain’t Heard Nothin’ Yet" starts from all stations on Tuesday, December 2; and "The Star Parade" has already been heard from 1ZB and 2ZB, and starts from 3ZB on December 4, and from 4ZB on December 13
