Camping Trip To Portand, Maine
Amos, Andy, and the Kingfish are taking a camping vacation to Maine, but they've only made it to Boston so far. Andy is reading from a logbook belonging to a ship called the U.S.S. Taxicab. Joe Parker is filling in as the announcer because the regular announcer, Bill Hay, recently suffered a heart attack.
Amos 'n' Andy is an American radio sitcom about black characters, initially set in Chicago then later in the Harlem section of New York City. While the show had a brief life on 1950s television with black actors, the 1928 to 1960 radio show was created, written, and voiced by two white actors, Freeman Gosden and Charles Correll, who played Amos Jones (Gosden), Andrew Hogg Brown (Correll), and George "Kingfish" Stevens (Gosden) as well as incidental characters. On television from 1951 to 1953, black actors took over the majority of the roles; white characters were infrequent.
