Message-Id: <[removed]@[removed]>

Sorry for wasting the bandwidth, but my web browser isn't working to look 
at Lou's page.  I'll be in Brooklyn all next week and would like to know 
where I can find OTR.  I know about Adrian Cosentini's program on Wednesday 
nights (7PM, WFUV-FM [removed]) and I know there's one on WBAI on Saturday but I 
don't know the time or frequency.  What else is there?  Thanks for any 
info.

Randy Minnehan expressed some concern over Sperdvac's secret library, 
the  one for the elite members. If there were such a library, no one at 
Sperdvac knows about it.
Larry Gassman called me this morning having received a call from Randy 
Minnehan about this library. Larry and his brother John are our 
acquisition guys and they weren't previously aware of the secret 
library. Larry wanted to know (since I am a librarian) if I knew where 
it was. I don't know about it either. The elites who have access to the 
secret library must be pretty darn elite.
Randy mentions "inside sources" that confirmed his  belief in this 
secret library but failed to mention the names of these sources. We 
would be most interested in the identity of these "inside sources" so 
we can find the secret library ourselves. 

It's real easy to use "informed sources" and "inside sources" [removed]
to validate or otherwise authenticate a story. Trouble is, if we don't 
know who the sources are we can't evaluate their credibility. We can't 
even be sure the sources even exist.

I invite Randy to reveal his inside sources and to definitley confirm 
and locate this secret library. Or else retract what is an indefensible 
and ludicrous statement. 

Perpetuating destructive myths and rumours do very little to help our 
hobby. Sperdvac has become the central figure in another urban legend 
that has no basis in fact. In short, there is no secret library for 
Sperdvac elitists. I'm not even sure there are any elitists at 
Sperdvac.

Once upon a time there was an extremely popular form of family entertainment
called radio.  That's why we OTR fans thrive on hearing and talking about the
old shows.  I'm editor of the OTR newsletter, "Thrilling Days of Yesteryear,"
that provides a joyful trip back to a long-vanished but warmly-remembered
world -- a world that was truly a theater of the mind.  The current issue
includes stories about Jack Benny, Eddie Cantor, animal imitators, early
reviews of "Your Hit Parade" and "Fibber McGee and Molly," plus a feature on
golden-throated announcers and book reviews of books about Kate Smith and
Jimmy Durante.  It's equally great for those who remember and the ones who
missed out on the memories.  For a free sample copy of a previous edition,
just send a #10 SASE to Thrilling Days of Yesteryear, [removed] Box 36106, Denver,
CO 80236.  Your editor is now working on his 50th year in the business, with
plans to keep at it for at least 6 more years just so I can say I broadcast
in part of seven different decades and two centuries.

I still have the original GE Super Radio which works fine. Are there many
advantages to buying the new Super Radio III?

Message-Id: <[removed]@[removed]>

I just wondered what ever happened to Jim Harriott (sp?), who was a DJ 
on WMCA in New York City in 1961-62.  He had the evening show.  Also, 
Lonnie Starr, who had the late-late-night show on WINS in 1961.  You 
always read about Alan Freed and Murray the K and those people, but you 
never see anything about these guys.  Where did they go?

     Show Description:
 
     This series of thirteen radio dramas were broadcast during 1983 on
     National Public Radio.  It was produced by Michael McDonough.  Mike
     went on to design the sound effects for several major films.  The
     programs were produced at the University of Utah (not verified).
 
     All shows were based on works by Ray Bradbury and varied from
     science fiction ("Kaleidoscope"), to thriller, horror ("The Wind")
     or just plain fun ("There Was An Old Woman").
 
     The acting was very much above average for a contemporary production,
     and the overall package was superior (in great measure thanks to the
     source material).  The shows featured excellent use of stereo and
     effects.
 
     The show titles may seem familiar.  Mr. Bradbury's stories were the
     source for many OTR shows.  For example, "Kaleidoscope" appeared in
     DIMENSION X and SUSPENSE.  "The Fox and the Forest" was done as "To
     the Future" in DIMENSION X.  SF 68, a 1968 science fiction series
     produced in South Africa, included "A Sound of Thunder". One of the
     earliest was RADIO CITY PLAYHOUSE: "The Wind" (10-30-49).
 
     Some of the programs were released through PaperBack Audio, available
     through Adventures in Cassettes (see source list below).  They offer
     twelve shows.  All are in stereo and have excellent sound quality.
     Each show features a short bit at the end by Ray Bradbury discussing
     the show.
 
     NARA's lending library has many in their catalog. No mention of
     stereo. (See source list below).
 
 
     List Comments:
 
     Since Erstwhile's catalog was the only source that mantioned broadcast
     dates, there is uncertainty as to when the series started or ended.
     Two shows have no dates and two shows air on odd days. Dates where 
     shows may have occured are shown with question marks in the title
     field.

     Show Description:
 
     This series was produced by radio station KFI in Los Angeles and was 
     syndicated in 1946.  It featured tales of the supernatural and the 
     macabre by radio's top writers and stars.  Listeners heard wild tales 
     of death at midnight, "the witching hour, when night is darkest, our 
     fears the strongest, our strength at it's lowest ebb.  Midnight when 
     the graves gape open and Death strikes". 
 
     Robert Newman, Joseph Rustcall, Max Erlich and William Norwood handled 
     the writing.  The cast featured Elspith Eric, Mercedes McCambridge, 
     Barry Kroeger, Betty Kane, Carl Frank, Barry Hopkins, Lawson Zerbie.  
     Charles Paul played the creepy organ music, and Antoine M. Leader 
     directed.
