Well, there's quite a few at the moment.
Most predominantly Tool.
But, with Classical, Orchestral and Baroque period music too.
And my vice; Jazz.

I was thrilled to discover this here gentleman's music. A nice change from the predominantly guitar-driven music of the genre.

I wish that whoever was in charge of the crowd at the Opry would have decided NOT to have them clap after every verse, chorus, solo, intro, outro, etc. A great way to ruin some of the best recordings of some of these songs...

The Amazing Nero Wolfe (1948?) with Francis X. Bushman as Nero and Elliot Lewis as Archie; evidently this is the only episode extant. Bushman sounds uncannily like Sidney Greenstreet, who took over the job about a year later.

Richard Diamond, Private Detective, "The Betty Moran Case" (5/29/49). Rick administers a thumping to a heavy before turning him in to Lt. Levinson. True to form, he shoots someone, who dies of their wounds, then about a hour later he sings and smooches with Helen Asher, Park Avenue heiress. Great wisecracks, colorful characters, and in this one, sharp PI work by Diamond.

Hey hey, no doubt,
You were about
The sweetest man in Dixieland!

He's got just what
It takes to make a lady smile!
