Melody Roundup

1942–1945

The following is the track list from several programs of 15 minutes each. We do not know how many programs the Sons of the Pioneers recorded. This list is courtesy of Jimmy Willhelm and Madison. These shows were designed for the entertainment of servicemen and servicewomen overseas during the second world war and generally were not heard by audiences here or in the United States.
