Enter the soulful world of jazz, where the vibrant spirit of New Orleans and the healing power of music converge. Join Joanna Pena-Bickley on a special episode of Designed By as she welcomes the incomparable Judith Owen.

Today, on Designed By, we are honored to introduce Judith Owen to our audience. Her music, a seamless fusion of drama, classical elegance, and jazz spontaneity, serves as a testament to the power of intentional design.

Hailing from a musically rich Welsh family and honing her craft in London and New Orleans, Judith's creative evolution transcends genre boundaries. Her latest album, "Come On & Get It," pays homage to trailblazing women of jazz and blues such as Julia Lee, Nellie Lutcher, Julie London, Dinah Shore, and Peggy Lee. Through this project, deeply rooted in New Orleans' musical legacy and brought to life with the Gentleman Callers, Judith exemplifies her dedication to intentional musical innovation and cultural design.

At Designed By, we believe that designing our world with purpose is the pinnacle of creativity and leadership. Judith's journey underscores this ethos, demonstrating that her music is not just about notes and rhythms; it's about living with purpose and passion. It's about finding harmony in our choices and melody in our stories. Join us as we embark on this inspiring exploration of Judith Owen's remarkable journey.

This turkey filled audio feast is made up of two broadcasts from the World War two years, the first from 1942 the second from 1944.

During the big war, Thanksgiving had an extra emotional impact. So many families had empty chairs where sons and daughters used to sit but now were stationed all over the globe doing their duty to protect those who sat around the thanksgiving table.

Some of those chairs would be occupied by strangers, locally deployed servicemen who couldn’t get home to their families.

The prayers were extra solemn, and the thanks were sincerely given.

Turkeys weren’t rationed, but they were scarce and expensive. The military was determined that servicemen abroad should have a traditional thanksgiving, and so many turkeys were sent to the troops abroad that the birds were scarce and expensive back home.

Our first Thanksgiving episode plays on the turkey price increase, as our favorite housewife, Gracie Allen buys a live turkey planning to fatten it up for the big day’s dinner.

From November 17, 1942 The Burns and Allen show presents “Gracie Buys a Live Turkey”

Then we move onto a more serious look at wartime thanksgiving with the Command Performance thanksgiving special from 1944.

Command Performance was broadcast domestically but was aimed at the soldiers overseas. The show took requests from servicemen for guests and songs and did their level best to deliver.

Performers were honored to be requested by the servicemen and volunteered their time to appear on the show and do their part for Armed Service morale.

Lionel Barrymore hosts, and Dinah Shore the southern songstress who was America’s Sweetheart in 1944.

Patriotism and entertainment, brought to you by grateful American radio stars.
