Flophouse Sends Jimmy Stewart to Jail
In 1992, a rock group called Flophouse released an album titled Undaunted (Harp-0007). On that album was a song called Jimmy Stewart Goes to Jail (J.C. Hopkins/ T. Rojas). The song’s lyrics mention several Stewart films, including Mr. Smith Goes to Washington, It’s a Wonderful Life, The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance and Harvey. There’s…
Bob Rumbaugh ‘N’ Basketcase
In 1984, Rumbaugh released a song he called Movie Stars on 33 1/3 (Beatles Medley) (Rumba Records). It is a 7-inch, small hole record which plays at 33 1/3 RPM. The song was arranged by Jimi Henry and Rumbaugh was his own producer. As the title suggests, this is a medley of Beatles’ songs as…
Kurt Mahoney – Jimmy Stewart’s Wings
Singer, songwriter, Kurt Mahoney has crafted a very clever song around Jimmy Stewart and his films. The song, Jimmy Stewart’s Wings, is from his 2008 album, Where the Heart Is. The song’s lyrics refer often to the “sound of an angel who got his wings, the night Jimmy Stewart died.” There are also references to…
An Interview with Jimmy Stewart and Harvey
To help promote the film Harvey, Universal-International issued a 12-inch, 33 1/3 RPM interview disc to radio stations. This was an open-end interview, featuring only Stewart’s answers on the record.

New York Close-Up (Tex and Jinx)
Like so many of the other Tex McCrary-Jinx Falkenburg programs, Mr. Stewart’s appearance on this show would have been very difficult to confirm from newspaper listings alone. Most, like the one below from the May 19, 1953, edition of New York Times, simply listed a title: Fortunately, this particular program is a part of the…
Martha Deane Show #2
Mr. Stewart appeared on three documented Martha Deane shows as discussed in Jimmy Stewart on the Air. None of the shows is available. The host of the Martha Deane Show was actually Marian Young Taylor. She hosted the show for 32 years on WOR-AM, in Manhattan. Her announcer was George Hogan. Mr. Stewart was a…
Tex and Jinx (March 28, 1948)
There is some doubt as to the actual date of this broadcast. In his book, James Stewart a Bio-Bibliography, Gerald Molyneaux lists Stewart as having appeared on “Sus and Ohrbach’s Hi Jinx” on March 28, 1948. Hi Jinx was being sponsored at the time by Schonbrunn and Ohrbach’s which may account in part for this…
Jimmy Stewart on NBC Monitor #3
Several of Stewart’s appearances on NBC Monitor have survived. This one is from March 1, 1970. As with previous appearances, this one received little notice in the newspapers: Jimmy was interviewed by Gene Rayburn about the Broadway play Harvey and the Stewart family’s newest pet, a bushbaby…
