1. 

According to the Internet Archive, The Mills Brothers performed this rendition of "On the Banks of the Wabash" in 1943. 

2. 

I was unable to find a recording date for The Peters Sisters' "Fine and Dandy".

3. 

This lively performance of Lionel Hampton's "Flying Home" was recorded in 1942. Overjazz refers to it as "Flying Home No. 1". Although "lively", I'm not sure if this performance is actually "live", because the announcer isn't heard on any other uploads. Perhaps the announcer heard in this Aige Old Radio episode is/was a radio announcer? 

4. 

The Delta Rhythm Boys' "Just-A-Sittin' and A-Rockin'" was released in December of 1945 [The Vocal Group Hall of Fame Foundation]. According to the Internet Archive, this "command performance" was performed around the same time.
