When Johnny Comes Marching Home

Read by John Charles Thomas
The John Charles Thomas Show features baritone John Charles Thomas in a radio program centered on his singing. His rich, resonant voice brings a concert-style presence to the broadcast, with a repertoire that draws on popular songs and familiar standards.
Listeners can expect a musical performance rather than a spoken-story drama: Thomas’s voice is the focus, supported by the program’s radio accompaniment. The song title associated with this recording, “When Johnny Comes Marching Home,” points to a well-known American tune with a lively, marching character.
The appeal lies in hearing a celebrated vocalist deliver music directly for radio, where the clarity and warmth of the performance make the voice and melody the main event.
This recording is part of the Old Time Radio collection.
