Lindley Armstrong "Spike" Jones (December 14, 1911 – May 1, 1965) was a popular musician and bandleader specializing in performing satirical arrangements of popular songs.

Billboards 1947 “Near You” by Francis Craig

Things were different in the 1940s. People were more polite. You said "Hi" to your neighbors. And everybody, we mean everybody, had an orchestra. At least that's the gist we got from this week's research into Francis Craigs Nashville hit, "Near You." Also discussed, The Very Grinch, the lameness of Sirius XM's College Radio station ID, and an updated weather report from both sides of the country!
