You have to go to the home page and thru  the sales page to make any 
sense of how to buy these.  Note that the  disc Watch the Fords Go By 
includes segments from the Feb 12, 1934 program  where George Gershwin 
plays, talks, and participates in a choral parody of  Rhapsody In Blue, 
celebrating its 10th anniv that day.  Peter sent me  a cassette a few 
years ago, it's good stuff.  World recorded the Ford  programs, so the 
sound quality is fantastic -- at least it is on the disc  I have from the 
series.

A visit to the Waring Museum on the campus of State College, PA, is also  
worth a trip.  Peter Keifer can probably give a guided tour, with advance  
notice.  Breathtaking.
