THE ANNIVERSARY OF THE SINGING TELEGRAM

On July 28, 1933, the first singing telegram was said to have been delivered to singer Rudy Valee on his 32nd birthday. Early singing telegrams were often delivered in person by uniformed messengers on bicycle. Later they were usually sung over the telephone.

Of course today the singing telegram has been replaced by “talking” greeting cards and things like JibJab. So, it might make some fun radio to mark this day by challenging the listeners to come up with clever sung greetings for all kinds of occasions such as birthdays, anniversaries, graduations, etc. Award a prize to the most creative singing greeting of the morning.
