(4.5 stars; 2 reviews)

Martha Wilkerson (AKA G.I. Jill) hosted a couple shows on the United States government-produced Armed Forces Radio Service (AFRS). One program she hosted was G.I. Jive and another was Jill's All-Time Jukebox, which ran concurrent to the other show during part of its run (she mentions it during G.I. Jive). I only have 5 Jill's All-Time Jukebox shows :( but there are some real gems. Martha Wilkerson made great "mix tapes." :) Any typos or errors are mine.
