My thanks to Nancy from Florida who sent me a bundle of goodies from the 1940s that belonged to her father, who appeared on the Red Skelton Show. Among them was a program for the 3rd annual “Music for the Wounded Concert” that took place at the Hollywood Bowl on July 2, 1947. I had never heard of it before, let alone knew that there was a series of them. Here are a selection of pages from that program. It looked to be quite a big deal. According to this account, the concerts raised money for entertainment for bedridden servicemen in area Army and Navy hospitals.
