The music of the stars, good morning everybody.

Daylight, wasting time.

Go ahead, waste a little bit of it.

Right here with us.

It's the Civic Media Radio Network with music of the season.

What's that season?

Time!

Ben Franklin had a...

thought about daylight saving.

They say he invented it, not true.

But he's right, a satirical essay about it.

He said, you have to wake up.

That said, wake up at sunrise.

That's it.

He said, we should ring all the bells and shoot all the cannons off at sunrise and get everybody out of bed.

Of course, things are different now.

Dolly Parton wrote a couple of great songs, and since we're now at a country and western show, I'll do her songs.

We'll do it big band.

How's that?

What a gal.

Tell you how Dolly celebrated Christmas.

It's the month of saying thank you.

And of shortening days.

And of November skies.

Farmers hated the idea of daylight saving time.

It was in the mid-50s when it swept across Wisconsin.

And yet the movie industry fought it tooth and nail.

Movie theater ads featured fight daylight saving time.

And farmers join the argument.

You wonder why farmers I did too until I found out.

So many farmers thought that

All that extra sunlight would burn their crops.

I'm not making that up.

And the movie theaters, of course,

a

lot of moaned by the same firm, fought it because drive-in theaters were the thing in 55.

There were over 4,000 across the United States, Canada.

And of course, the movies started an hour later, and they were already experiencing enough trouble with falling attendance due to that demon in the corner of your living room, television.

The novelty and all.

Hey Nick,

why'd you do those dishes without me?

Isn't it though?

That's Jamie's music.

the daylight fades away a cold wind moves through empty streets the evening settles down and november paints the twilight in the shadow

I could never fit

A distant train is calling as the evening birds fly by The years have changed the faces of the people that I knew But every fading sunset brings a memory

The last light disappears tonight, beyond the distant hill.

Tomorrow brings December and another winter star.

But November leaves its twilight.

I'll be listening.

The branches of the trees are bare The smell of burning leaves is in the air November twilight

At five o'clock the streets are dark Across the empty bend stand in the park November twilight Softly falls again

You know, I've got on some lipstick tonight and it's flavored.

Would you like to see what flavor it is?

I sure would.

Alice, remember, this is all strictly in the interests of science.

See, that has a sort of a sort of a fruit flavor, Peg.

Well, it's made of natural fruit juices, George, and it comes in five flavors.

Which one was that?

That was strawberry.

No.

No, only one.

I have to try it

again.

It's domestic, but good.

Tonight I know the kiss we share Is sweet beyond compare But will it stand the test of time?

The lovely glow that's in your eyes The music in your sighs Or will it stand the test of time?

The ghost had gone home and the goblins took flight.

The pumpkins looked weary, the witches were gone, and the skeletons wondered what it was they'd done wrong.

The candy had vanished, every wrapper was tossed.

The kids counted treasures and dad checked the cost.

Young Billy ate chocolate until he turned green, then declared that he'd never eat candy again.

And here's Elka

Summer.

is me

Hollywood is mourning the loss of Elkie Summer, the internationally acclaimed actress who captivated audiences with her elegance, charisma, and unforgettable screen presence.

Summer died on October 28, 2026, at her home in Bel Air, Los Angeles.

She was 85.

The heartbreaking news was reported on October 29, with German media citing information from people close to the actress and her family.

Her stepson, Sebastian Walther,

reportedly confirmed that she died peacefully at approximately 10pm following a prolonged period of declining health.

Patrick Stewart, Captain Picard, here is

me.

There's an empty chair beside the fire And a pint that no one claims The old barman wiped the counter twice Then softly spoke his name Sir Patrick said the barman lo, you gave the world your best He raised a glass door, the stars now let the captain rest From Shakespeare stage to distant stars His voice could fill the night

He taught us strength was more than war and kindness more than might As Picardi sailed the endless skies Xavier he stood tall But was the man behind those eyes who touched the hearts of all So raise one last glass to the captain tonight Who sailed through the darkness and carried the light Though stars may grow silent and journeys

may

end We'll remember Sir Patrick

Our captain, our friend Oh, here's to the stories The laughter, the years To the courage he gave us Through smiles and through tears Wherever the stars shine Wherever we roam The captain's still with us Forever our home A fellow by the window Said he'd make a captain grand The barman laughed as sure he would But here I'd be in command

He'd point his finger, make it so, and order one more beer.

I'd tell him not pass closing time, and laughter filled the air.

Beyond the fading light A thousand tales still carry on Through every quiet night No final curtain takes away The wonder that he gave His story sailed beyond the years Like lanterns all

So

raise one last glass

to the captain tonight Who sailed through the darkness and carried the light Though stars

may grow

silent and journeys may end We'll remember Sir Patrick, our captain, our friend Oh,

here's to the stories, the

laughter, the years To the courage he gave us through smiles and through tears Wherever the stars shine, wherever

If heaven's got a starship, I know who's in command.

Captain Kirk will always be her waifu, even if he sells insurance now.

I recently found out that the original Star Trek theme had random lyrics written for it so the composer would lose half of his royalties for all time.

Way to go, Gene.

Live long and profit.

But the question of justice has concerned me greatly of late.

And I say to any creature who may be listening, there can be no justice so long as laws are absolute.

Even life itself is an exercise, an exception.

You say you are true evil.

So I tell you what true evil is.

Just submit to you.

It is when we surrender our freedom.

our dignity instead of defying you.

Would you choose one life over one thousand, sir?

I refuse to let arithmetic decide questions like that.

You have extended your life at the expense of another.

Give him back.

Data is dead.

No.

He must not be lost.

He's not simply an android.

He's a life form.

Data is not human.

He is different.

Yes.

But that does not make him expendable or any less significant.

No being is so important that even you serve the rights of another.

We two are machines.

Just machines of a different type.

Children are created from the building blocks of their parent's DNA.

Are they property?

Prove to the court that I am sentient.

This is absurd.

We all know you're sentient.

So I am sentient, but Commander Data is not.

That's right.

Why?

Why am I sentient?

Why am I self-aware?

Isn't that becoming a race?

And won't we be judged by how we treat that race?

Now tell me, Commander, what is data?

Hollywood has lost a bright voice of its golden age.

Peggy King, the singer America knew as pretty perky Peggy King, has died at 96.

She passed away on Sunday, October 25th, 2026, at the Saunders House Assisted Living Facility in Winwood, Pennsylvania, after a long battle with Alzheimer's disease.

Her publicist, Alan Iker, confirmed her death, and we remember a star who lit up radio, records, film, and television.

She was born on February 16th, 1930, in Greensburg, Pennsylvania.

and she was raised in Ohio, where she graduated from Ravenna High School.

Her gift showed itself early.

As a young singer, she began performing on radio in Cleveland, and in the evenings, she sang at the nightclub of the Cleveland Hotel.

Was the night after Halloween a terrible sight?

The ghosts had gone home and the goblins took flight.

The pumpkins looked weary, the witches were gone, and the skeletons wondered what it was they'd done wrong.

The candy had vanished, every wrapper was tossed.

The kids counted treasures and dad checked the cost.

Young Billy ate chocolate until he turned green, then declared that he'd never eat candy again.

The front porch was littered with cobwebs and leaves, and a spider was tangled in somebody's sleeves.

A ghost in the attic complained of a chill while a vampire went

hunting for breakfast until he discovered the neighbors had locked every door and the garlic they'd hung was still strummed by the score

Tonight, they've not bothered to set their clocks back.

It's darkness saving time.

May dawn never crash.

I'll just tell the story, okay?

Yeah, just go ahead.

The Story of Halloween by Tommy Smothers.

The Story of Halloween.

Once upon a time, many years ago, on a rainy and windy night, there was an old haunted house.

And in this haunted house, there lived a wonderful little boy, a boy who would wake up in the morning and see his shadow and know that spring was here.

A boy who would walk a mile to return a penny.

And

this boy would also split rails, and he never lied to anyone, not even the time that we all remember when he chopped down the cherry

tree.

And

because of this, when the little boy's birthday came around each year, everyone in town would run out and search for colored eggs.

And

they'd give

painted... And they'd give painted hearts and unleavened bread, which they would send to their... They'd send us their hearts and their unleavened bread to their girlfriends.

And they had lots of fun.

And

then one day,

Then one day, when the fireworks were going off, everybody ran in their houses and had turkey dinner with cranberry sauce and stuffing and the war... and candy-ams.

And then the war ended.

As

good as... good as reason as any.

The people cheered and the mothers and fathers received gifts from their sons and daughters and everyone wore...

Everybody wore green because they found out the world was round.

So they voted.

They voted to grab their noisemakers and horns and drink champagne and really get drunk at exactly 12 o'clock that night.

Exactly 12 o'clock while Guy Lombardo was playing this beautiful song.

And sure enough, they never did forget.

They all ran to their windows and looked and lo and behold, as they looked out the windows, they saw a star in the east.

A single star in the east and it came closer.

And suddenly they saw three wise guys on camels.

Three wise guys on camels approaching a barn.

And they were carrying these three wise guys were carrying

the

October moon is rising

there's a chill in every breeze and the ghosts are out in Wisconsin drifting through the autumn trees there's a pumpkin on the doorstep there's a candle burning bright and the children all are waiting for that magic Halloween

We night

There's a skeleton out dancing by a creaky old tombstone.

There's a black cat on the fence rail and a scarecrow.

While the bats above the rooftops make their shadows cross the sky There's a werewolf near the wood pile There's a ghost beside the door And a monster in the attic Who keeps asking Trick or treat some more Out in Richland Center

Where the wooded hills grow dark Here and I'll begin its calling See a lantern throw a spark Through the fields and down the highways Pass the farms and old barns to Halloween is stirring Mischief beneath the skies of blue

Remember, dressed as pirates, riches, cowboys, kings and queens When the neighbors gave us apples and the porches glowed with seams When the chilly wind of October made us hurry through the night And we hurried home with candy to the warm and golden light Now the

years have come and wandered And the children all have grown But October brings a memory

that will all-

Always be our own There's a sweetness in the darkness There's a laughter in the air And the spirit of Wisconsin Puts a little magic everywhere Oh Halloween in Wisconsin

When starts to blow

And they were carrying these three wise guys, were carrying paper bags.

One of them had a sock.

And they had these gifts that they had received from other people.

And as they approached, the barn they could see from the windows of warm light glowing.

And they walked to the front door of the barn and knocked.

And when the door opened, they looked inside and with faces that were ecstatic, they exclaimed.

The golden light fades much too soon And darkness falls

This summer's warmth has slipped away The trees stand bare against the sky And evening steals the heart of day While lonely winds begin

Some shadows play The clock hands move but hearts remain Where summers tender moments lie And every sunset brings the pain Of watching precious daylight

A porch light glows A window gleams The birds have long since ceased to sing And somewhere in our fading dreams We mourn the passing days of spring

For time itself cannot be stayed No clock can turn the years around No extra hour can ever repay The choice that once in daylight found So let the clock

And let the lonely hours unfold I'll watch the last remaining light And grieve the summer I must hold And when the darkness fills the air

A whisper to the fading sun If time could only learn to care It would return

The music of the stars, Hugo Winterhalter.

Jerome Kern wrote this.

With a world stuck in neutral right now.

Hollywood is remembering the extraordinary legacy of Patrick Stewart, the acclaimed actor whose portrayal of Captain Jean-Luc Picard made him one of the most beloved figures in science fiction history.

Following reports of his death at 86, attention has turned to the friendships he built throughout his remarkable career.

Among those remembering their time together is Michael Dorn, his longtime Star Trek co-star, who once shared a hilarious behind-the-scenes story

that revealed Stewart's playful personality away from the cameras.

Dorn portrayed Worf, the honorable Klingon officer who became one of the franchise's most recognizable characters.

Working alongside Stewart for years gave Dorn countless opportunities to witness the personality behind the legendary captain.

One particularly memorable story involves Stewart making Dorn laugh during filming.

According to Parade,

Dorn previously recalled an incident in which Stewart's delivery of Klingon Dialogue left him struggling to maintain his composure.

Patrick talking Klingon.

I literally couldn't get through a scene.

He was deadly serious.

When he said it, I just lost it, Dorn recalled, according to the report.

The story revealed a humorous side of Stewart that audiences rarely saw when watching his commanding performance as Captain Picard.

Although Stewart approached his acting with great professionalism, he also knew how to create unexpected moments of laughter among his colleagues.

Stewart's influence extended far beyond Star Trek.

His distinguished career included acclaimed Shakespearean performances and his internationally recognized role as Professor Charles Xavier in the X-Men films.

His ability to move between classical theater and blockbuster entertainment

made him one of the most versatile performers of his generation.

Following news of his death, tributes from colleagues and fans highlighted his talent, kindness, and lasting influence on the entertainment industry.

His legacy includes not only iconic performances, but also the memories he created with the people who worked beside him.

Patrick Stewart leaves behind an extraordinary legacy that will continue inspiring audiences around the world.

For millions of Star Trek fans, Captain Picard will forever represent courage, wisdom, and humanity.

His final voyage may have ended, but the memories of the legendary actor will live on.

The stars will remember The night we said goodbye The stars will remember So will

I

A rose as a token

the stars will remember so will I and now the stars and I we share the lonely lane but in my

solitude it seems I hear you call my name the world

may

forget you as time

We share the lonely lane But in my solitude It seems I hear you call my name The world may forget you As time goes passing

There's just one love in this whole world and I know I found mine.

The heavenly touch of your embrace tells me no one could take your place.

One kiss from your sweet lips will tell me that your love is real enough.

Good morning, everybody.

It's well known, it's rehearsals.

It's rehearsals and blank verse that keeps you fit.

And worry.

I'm actually thinking of promoting that as a keep fit

exercise.

I imagine it would work very well indeed.

I said the Blood Thirsty Scott.

Are we allowed to talk about the play?

Yes, there's so much history of superstition about this play.

When you're actually doing it, you have to put it all aside, because you can't refer to it as the Scottish play, which is how it's...

customily referred to when you're in theatres or even sometimes outside the

Kathryn Lake

theatres.

That's

right.

Because it has this stigma of misfortune attached to it.

And a lot of that has to do with... It's a dark play.

Most of the scenes happen at night.

And directors and lighting designers like to give a very atmospheric ambience to the stage.

So what happens is that actors walk into things and they fall off things.

And then at the very end, there is a massive...

sword fight between Macbeth and his chief protagonist, Macduff.

And these things are dangerous, usually they're in two-handed claymores.

And so people get hurt.

Isn't there supposed to be some sort of code into woven, though, into the play itself?

I've heard this, that some people allege that within the language there is a secret dialogue written, which...

Unless you know what it is and how to look for it, you're unaware of it.

So even now, while I'm talking to you, there would be inside my language some kind of satanic rune.

But the one important thing to know about all this superstition in Macbeth is that there's an antidote to it.

And the antidote is a Midsummer Night's dream.

So if you mention the name of the play, you simply mention the dream, or you

I'm a big Vincent Price fan.

I always have been.

He's probably one of the best-known actors, probably in the entire world.

And we talked with him the last time.

He's here about being like stereotyped in movies.

He's always the villain and been most successful at it.

And off-screen, when he's not acting, he has a great variety of interests.

Art, of course, is one of them.

He has a beautiful book called The Treasury of American Art.

And he's newest...

You know, I'm really a fan of yours.

That's very kind of you indeed, Vincent.

Thank you.

You know, I saw one of your pictures last night.

Did you really?

Yes.

What a coincidence.

I saw you the night before.

Tell me, was that your last picture?

I hope not.

Nice to know you've still got it.

Was the night after Halloween a terrible sight?

The ghosts had gone home and the goblins took flight.

The pumpkins looked weary, the witches were gone, and the skeletons wondered what it was they'd done wrong.

The candy had vanished, every wrapper was tossed.

The kids counted treasures and dad checked the cost Young Billy ate chocolate until he turned green Then declared that he'd never eat candy again The front porch was littered with cobwebs and leaves And a spider was tangled in somebody's sleeves A ghost in the attic complained of a chill While a vampire went hunting for breakfast until He discovered the neighbors had locked every door And the garlic they'd hung was still strung by the

The devil takes a holiday.

If I were the devil

If I were the Prince of Darkness, I'd want to engulf the whole world in darkness, and I'd have a third of its real estate and four-fifths of its population, but I wouldn't be happy until I had seized the ripest apple on the tree.

The.

So I'd set about however necessary to take over the United States.

I'd subvert the churches first.

I'd begin with a campaign of whispers.

With the wisdom of a serpent, I would whisper to you as I whispered to Eve.

Do as you please.

To the young I would whisper that the Bible is a myth.

I would convince them that man created God instead of the other way around.

I would confide that what's bad is good and what's good is square.

And the old I would teach to pray after me.

Our father, which art in Washington.

And then I'd get organized.

I'd educate authors in...

how to make lurid literature exciting so that anything else would appear dull and uninteresting.

I'd threaten TV with dirtier movies, and vice versa.

I'd peddle narcotics to whom I could.

I'd sell alcohol to ladies and gentlemen of distinction.

I'd tranquilize the rest with pills.

If I were the devil, I'd soon have families at war with themselves, churches at war with themselves, and nations at war with themselves, until each in its turn was consumed.

And with promises of higher ratings,

I'd have mesmerizing media fanning the flames.

If I were the devil, I would encourage schools to refine young intellects but neglect to discipline emotions just let those run wild.

Until before you knew it, you'd have to have drug snipping dogs and metal detectors at every schoolhouse door.

Within a decade, I'd have prisons overflowing.

I'd have judges promoting pornography.

Soon I could evict God from the courthouse.

then from the schoolhouse, and then from the houses of Congress.

And in his own churches, I would substitute psychology for religion and DFI science.

I would lure priests and pastors into misusing boys and girls and church money.

If I were the devil, I'd make the symbol of Easter and egg and the symbol of Christmas a bottle.

If I were the devil, I'd take from those who have and give to those who wanted until I had killed the incentive of the ambitious.

What'll you bet?

I couldn't get whole states to promote gambling as the way to get rich.

I would caution against extremes in hard work, in patriotism, in moral conduct.

I would convince the young that marriage is old-fashioned, that swinging is more fun, that what you see on TV is the way to be.

And thus I could undress you in public.

And I could lure you into bed with diseases for which there is no cure.

In other words, if I were the devil, I'd just keep right on doing what he's doing.

A furnace room, Sammy speaking.

Sammy, this is Chelsea.

Hi, baby.

You remember the man that you've been watching?

But why don't you keep insisting he's a hot prospect?

Yeah?

Well, I've got him here on the monitor, and you were right.

Really?

He's exactly what you've been waiting for.

Can you come right now?

Oh, honey, if I come up there now and Lucifer catches me, I'm going to be in all kinds of trouble.

Oh, honey, you can't get in more trouble than what you're all right now.

See, I wanna... I wanna... I wanna sell you my soul and a shame for you making me a big starter, okay?

Not so fast, not so fast.

It's not that easy anymore.

Depressed.

In fact, some souls were not taking anymore.

Oh, wait a minute.

Now, you're not running for president, are you?

Because I'm up to my tail on those.

I'm getting those souls at a discount.

Hey, now,

come on.

Come on.

Do I look like I'd be running for president?

No, you look like you've already been president.

Hey, look at Devil.

You can call me Satan.

Look at Satan.

I'm in show business, and I want fame.

I want no to riot.

I want to be at the top of the heap.

Barbara Streisand from Funny Girl.

Sad news from the world of Hollywood.

Peggy King, the singer American New as Pretty Perky Peggy King, has died at 96.

She passed away on Sunday, October 25th, 2026 at the Saunders House Assisted Living Facility in Winwood, Pennsylvania after a long battle with Alzheimer's disease.

Her publicist, Alan Iker, confirmed her death, and we remember a star who lit up radio, records, film, and television.

She was born on February 16, 1930, in Greensburg, Pennsylvania, and she was raised in Ohio, where she graduated from Ravenna High School.

Her gift showed itself early.

As a young singer, she began performing on radio in Cleveland, and in the evenings, she sang at the nightclub of the Cleveland Hotel.

Night after night, far from Hollywood, a determined young woman with a clear, joyful voice was building the career of a lifetime.

That Cleveland start led to the road and to the great dance bands of the era.

Peggy King toured nationally.

fronting the big bands of Charlie Spivak, Ray Anthony, and Ralph Flanagan.

In the big band years, the singer stood out front and the whole room listened.

Traveling from town to town, she learned to win any audience.

By the early 1950s, Hollywood was ready to come

calling.

She was inducted into the Broadcast Pioneers Hall of Fame.

Two honors, 50 years apart, bookend a career that television's pioneers chose to celebrate.

After nearly 30 years away from the spotlight, she made a joyful cabaret comeback in the 2010s, delighting audiences who had never forgotten her and winning new ones.

Her last album, Songs a la King, was released in 2016, a singer in her 80s still sharing the music she loved.
