Unknown Artist – Jimmy Stewart’s Grave
This digital only song was online for a short time in 2011. Actor Josh Throwers’ name was used in the song’s description, but we’re not sure if he is actually on the recording.

Ice Follies of 1953

How the West Was Won – Radio Spots (West No. 2)
When Jimmy Stewart on the Air was published, we did not have access to these radio spots, so they were not included in the book. The 1-sided, 12-inch, 33 1/3 RPM (132140) record is now in our collection and we can tell you that Stewart’s voice does not appear on any of the four spots…
