Wow! I'm out of breath just listening to Here's Hooey! What a speed of delivery. Were the radio shows as fast as the records?
Very reminiscent of the Goons in places, but from what I can find out on the web predating them by a good 12 years.
Thanks Ade!
I heard a documentary recently about Wolfman Jack and in it they played late 30's airchecks of "crazy" US announcers, and one bit is remarkably like the Hooey Series.
Ive never Heard any of Walts Radio series, Most probably Doesn't exist.
Of course if any shows Do exist someone please let me know!
Yeh A bit like The Goons (actuality a Lot like the goons series 1-3) and the only reason I know is Ive read the scripts! and there are 2 epps of series 2 in existence (ill have to dig the tape of those out)
I had some nice emails about Mr Leopald himself, and would like to quote them here but I lost em, hence that's Why i never replied!
So if you have any Hooey memories post em here!
and thanks Dave, ive seen someting like 300 downloads from most of my tracks and 0 comments.
It gets you down when you put all the work in and people just take take take. Thanks again
nice blog
The amazing thing here is that Here's Hooey #1 was made before tape. Everything was produced live, direct to disc!
Some of the sequels may have been recent enough to have taken advantage of tape editing.
In addition to these three 78s, there was a "Jubilee Edition" of Here's Hooey.
All four of the Here's Hooey 78s were reissued as a 10" LP.
And by the way, Ward Leopold can be heard "sampling" records by other artists here - years before "Buchanan and Goodman" invented the process with their "Flying Saucer" records.
"My Bonnie Lies Over the Ocean" is lifted from Freddie Fisher and his Schnicklefritz Band. The manic "inside out" trumpet solos come from an old 78 by Ray Nobel. (I forget the title of Ray's record. It's something like "Rin-Tin-Tippy-Talley-Ho.")
Ward Leopold made at least two extended play 45s in the mid 1950s: "TV or Not TV" and "The 'It' Parade." These sketches seemed more inspired by Stan Freberg, and were much more slowly paced.
Thanks for your comments Ted, some wonderful comments and yes its the reason I do this, to bring a fresh insight into these discs for me (and anyone else "looking in") being only in my mid 30's you could imagine I love to read all of this, again Thanks..
do you mind if I use them on the "post" for this? and of course Ill credit you!
Glad you spotted that Mr Leopold may be the first "sampler" out there. ok a Ray Noble tune hmmm. lets see if anyone has looong memories! do we know what it could have been?
ahhh the "flying Saucer" disc. Ill dig that out for the next post.
Id love to hear that EP even if its only a Stan Freburg "take",
a bit off topic butanyone else enjoy the "Stan Freburg" show?
I heard the lot only a few years ago, (just after hearing all the existing "jack benny shows".

Feel free to use my Ward Leopold comments any way you like.
If we're talking about the FIRST sampling to appear on record, we should probably mention "Twisting the Dials" by Billy Jones and Ernie Hare, the Happiness Boys. I believe the date was 1928, but it may have been 1932. The boys lifted a few seconds of several earlier recordings, which, as I understand, were in the Victor archives, but not previously issued. This 12-inch 78 was, like the Here's Hooey sketches, a comic simulation of radio programs of the day.
