Thu, Mar 27, 1947: jerkwater town

"Yesterday at a jerkwater town named Leoti we ran into our first serious difficulty.  A strait-laced school superintendent attempted to stop the show mid way through the Boone-Basore part.  He disapproves of popular music and the girls duo provided plenty of it while the Chordbuilders put out some numbers which were rather flippant."
