Exploring Uncle Ezra and the Hoosier Hot Shots a bit
User Boston Blackie mentioned Uncle Ezra and the Hoosier Hot Shots because I posted a photo of them (in a previous post, below) and I too think Uncle Ezra and the Hoosier Hot Shots are kind of a cool thing.
For one, Uncle Ezra reminds me of what I have in my mind for a picture of Grandpappy Spears (a character played by Chester Lauck on Lum and Abner.)
I have never actually heard Uncle Ezra, so this adds to the intrique quite a bit. As do the advertisements involving him that I found in the last few months:
The book, "On the Air" - calls Uncle Ezra Broadcasting an "Offshoot of National Barn Dance" - which is to say (probably/maybe) that Uncle Ezra Broadcasting was the first spin-off in history, even before the Great Gildersleeve.
So Uncle Ezra - who was a comedic poet, I believe, is a famous character as far as both radio and TV are concerned because of the spin-off situation.
As far as the Hoosier Hot Shots, I haven't taken the time to listen to them (I've actually hunted Uncle Ezra stuff several times with no luck.) Yet a look at their advertising leaves you wanting to know more, doesn't it?
Out of all of the advertisements I have found, Alka-Seltzer has the best, by far.
And now, the Hoosier Hot Shots!
And tons more, here. (Don't miss I Like Bananas Because They Have No Bones...)
