Music and Comedy (1931 - 1939)

Happiness Boys Ukuele Song Book"How do you do, everybody, how do you do?

Billy Jones and Ernie Hare created their first radio broadcast together on October 21, 1921. After two years of comedy and musical magic, they became The Happiness Boys in 1923 and did an old time radio show sponsored by the Happiness Candy Company. As such, they became the most popular comedic team of 1920s radio and had the first regularly scheduled comedy show on the air. They changed their names to the Interwoven Pair when their radio show was sponsored by Interwoven Socks in 1929. Two years later, Taystee Yeast became the sponsor, and they changed their names, once again, and alternated between being the Taystee Breadwinners and the Taystee Loafers.
