A half hour radio visit with singing legend Jo Stafford is a fun and jauntywalk down memory lane with the classics singer. There is little at fault outside of some too short music clips, and for the first half of the program, seemingly scripted host questions. But that doesn't dim the charm of this warm personality, and by the second half of the piece, the flow is more natural and authentic from interviewer, the rapport shines through and the great voice and kind heart of Jo Stafford will leave the listener wanting more. So that may be inspiration to run more episodes of Swing Lady Swing of which this is a part.
Sunday afternoon would be a perfect spot for this gem of a program.
