Kenny Baker and Al Goodman

When Kenny Baker made the move from the Jack Benny half-hour radio program (where he got one song) to the Fred Allen hour-long program (where he got two songs), he also made a move up in conductors. Phil Harris had come up from a circus band background into the usual swing band progression. Al Goodman, who was the orchestra leader for Allen, had been educated at Peabody Conservatory.
