Philco Summer Hour
Salt Water Cowboy
by
Philco Summer Hour is a variety radio program presented under the Philco name. This recording is identified with the date June 11, 1944, and the episode title “Salt Water Cowboy.”
As a summer-hour variety program, it offers a change of pace from a single continuous drama, bringing entertainment together in a radio broadcast. The episode title suggests a nautical or Western-flavored theme, though the listening experience is best approached as a variety program rather than a story with a confirmed plot.
Its appeal lies in the period sound of a sponsored radio hour and the mix of entertainment associated with the variety format. The broadcast provides a snapshot of wartime-era American radio, with the program’s title and episode identification setting the scene for this dated performance.
This recording is part of the Old Time Radio collection.
