The "Old Prez" was well aware there were no metrics for the "world's biggest radio club," let alone one of any kind.

As for Jolly Joe: he had hte best job ever. Even if it wasn't. Wouldn't you like to be the Musical Night Editor?

Why he's draped with paper from the teletypes, I've no idea. It indicates the level of activity the job requred, I guess. Why, the phone jumped off the hook with requests. Meanwhile, teletype paper shot aroud his neck as if it had a life of its own, forcing him to fight it off with a small mallet.

See the object in his right hand? Do you have any doubt that studios had a small xylophone for effects, such as sounding out the call sign? Of course they did - and I never thought about it until I saw the mallet.

Of course, the NBC network had one. But it was taped.
