END OF THE ROAD SHOW, THE {#52} (RADIO)

Summary

One in this series of variety shows hosted by and starring Tom Bodett. Bodett opens this program with "The End of the Road Review," featuring a discussion about recent events in his hometown. Pianist Johnny B. Bushell plays his own composition, "Sunny Side Up," and Bodett tells the story of Ed Flanagan, a friend of his who is recovering in the hospital.
