Music Program

"Okay this is Guard Session, reel one, take one."

Lend an ear as Martin Block hosts the musical program sponsored by the US National Guard. Known for his old time radio show, The Make Believe Ballroom, during the swing era (where he plugged such musicians as Tommy Dorsey, Harry James, and Count Basie), Martin Block returns with a new era of musicians. We sit in "recording sessions with Block and such great artists as Nat King Cole, Bobby Darin, Dean Martin, Vic Damone, Lawrence Welk, Stan Kenton, Xavier Cugat, and more. In addition to great music, The Guard Sessions also include friendly banter with the musicians and information about their then-upcoming albums. So turn up the hi fi and relax with some of the greatest popular music of yesteryear.

For more well-done military-sponsored music programs, see also the Air Force recruitment show, A Serenade in Blue. Additional military music programs include: Lets Go To Town, Broadway in Review, Guard Sessions, Battle Stations, Music America Loves Best, Navy Swings, Theater of Hits, Join the Navy, and US Navy Shows. See also: Voice of the Army.
