"HEY!! Patti Page and The Dorsey Brothers Orchestra are at the Armory! Let's go to Town!"
 Sponsored by the National Guard as a recruitment program, Let's Go to Town featured music and information about joining The National Guard.  "Sounds swell!" Mason Adams is the host for the majority of the recordings calling himself "Corporal Eddie Carver of the National Guard."
The music in Let's Go to Town is top rate with big name performers like Rosemary Clooney, Patti Page, Les Paul and Mary Ford make their rounds at the armory. The biggest names in bands also rotated on the Let's Go To Town old time radio show including Tommy Dorsey and His Orchestra, Glenn Miller and His Orchestra, and Sammy Kaye and His Orchestra.
