Old Time Radio Downloads > Musical > National Barn Dance

The National Barn Dance was a country music show aired on WLS-AM from 1924 to 1950. This show is said to be the direct precursor of another music show called Grand Ole Opry. It also gave way for other shows of similar kind, due to the fact that it is well-received by many radio listeners.

Regulars of the show included Gene Autry, Pat Buttram, George Gobel, Lulu Belle and Scotty, The DeZurik Sisters, The Williams Brothers, and many more. The primary sponsor was Alka-Seltzer, and the main announcer was Jack Holden.

 ABOUT OLD TIME RADIO
The buzz-term for Old Time Radio is "OTR". OTR usually means radio broadcasting from the golden age of radio, mostly before 1964.These shows from the pre-television age include adventure, comedies, mystery shows, western dramas and shows from World War II. These programs feature the best talent of the day and were broadcast nearly as widely as cable programs today. And just like TV today, families would gather around their crystal radio sets to enjoy the entertainment together.
