Premise
The series began as a 1954 mid-season production featuring Denny Vaughan (piano) and Joan Fairfax (vocals), with an informal, easy listening approach. It entered the regular season schedule in October 1955 when it was sponsored by Lever Brothers, and its format changed to showcase segments featuring guest comedians and musicians from the US. The final season, 1956–57, reverted to a primarily musical format featuring more Canadian artists. Vaughan's orchestra was also concealed from viewers until it was seen on the last season. Guests also included French Canadian artists. However, viewership declined and the series was cancelled in 1957.
