The Johnson Wax Program, with Fibber McGee & Molly!

What is the opening and closing theme music for "Fibber McGee & Molly" - or what is a piece of music similar to it?

We're staging a recreation of an old "Fibber McGee & Molly" episode, and I need to come up with opening and closing music - obviously, without the voice of the announcer. Can you identify the music and point to an instrumental recording of it? Or failing that, can you help me pick a piece of instrumental music from the era with a similar feel?

The music was by the Billy Mills Orchestra.

One of the theme songs they used in the early years was Save Your Sorrow for Tomorrow (not that version, but that might work)

The title of the theme Billy Mills composed was Wing to Wing, and it was used post-1940.

Response by poster: Thanks everybody. I wasn't able to locate "Wing to Wing," but this one will do.
