Jimmy Rogers — Walking By Myself
( Bob talks about Arthur Blessit “walking for Jesus” across the whole world. )
Lou Reed — Walk On The Wild Side
( Bob says how Lou’s album, Berlin, disappointed people after the seemingly lighthearted “Walk On The Wild Side,” but how Lou has lately performed that album in its entirety in live shows, and it’s being recognized “for the artistic triumph that it is.” )
( Actor John C. Reilly talks about walking. )

The Allen Brothers — Jake Walk Blues ( Bob tells us all about the prohibition-era substance called “jake.” )
The Mills Brothers with Louis Armstrong — My Walking Stick
( “Y’know what that sound means! We got a caller on line two. Seems like it’s always on line two. I’m gonna check if line one is even working.” Bob takes a call from “Wallace Wallace,” who requests the next record. )

Johnny Smith — Walk Don’t Run (clip) ( Bob talks about Johnny Smith’s career. )

( Bob talks about Stonewall’s age-discrimination suit against the Grand Ol’ Opry. The general manager of the Grand Ol’ Opry had allegedly said that Stonewall was “too old and too country.” Bob sez, “Well Stonewall, there’s no such thing as too old or too country here on Theme Time Radio Hour. We’re proud to play you on the show, and if you’re ever in the neighborhood of the Abernathy Building, stop in and we’ll take a walk together.” )
( Bob reads Robert Frost’s “The Road Not Taken.” )
( “So, until next week, if I see you or you see me, just keep walkin’.” )
