    ***I find these PSAs fascinating not infernal. PSAs on safe driving tips,
    fire prevention and civil defense give us a nice perspective into life during

    I like them too, especially the ones we recently discussed from World War
    [removed] I even like the 1970s PSAs that turn up on the "CBS Radio Mystery
    Theatre" and "Sears Radio Theatre."? Like the one where Marlo Thomas does a

    I also think the networks were trying to drop hints there was ad space
    available. Pepsi turns up in a few "Suspense" and "Gunsmoke" episodes but I

    Subject:  Cleaning up scratchy recordings transferred from
     78s to CD

    My Grandfather was in a gospel quartet back in the '30s with 3 of his brothers.
    At a family reunion this past weekend, one person brought in a CD they'd had
    made where someone with a 78 RPM phonograph copied the old 78s the quartet made
    in the 1930s (on the Bluebird label out of Atlanta - anybody ever heard of
    them?) onto CD.

    The sound of the piano and singing is still good, but there is a LOT of hiss
    and scratches. Any products that anyone knows about I can use to clean up the
    files on my PC once I rip them from the CD?

    You can reply offlist if this is off topic.

    Thanks all.

      In fact, there were quite a few Guy Lombardo remotes broadcast from the New

    Tiparillo Pavilion at the fair.

    There was a rock version some 25 years ago.  I have it on two cassettes.
    It was at least an hour if not more in length.  There is a narration done
    by richard burton woven throughout.  I found the music quite compelling,
    more in the style of pink floyd productions, if yyou are familar with that
    group.

    Subject:  Red Skelton

    Mark Kratzner asked about "Avalon Time," which was broadcast from the studios
    of WLW in Cincinnati for several months before moving to Chicago.  When the
    show was originally produced at WLW in 1938, Red Foley was the star and
    Skelton was merely a comedian cast-member.  But it wasn't long, by the end of
    the year really, before it became Skelton's show and Foley was relegated to a
    supporting role.  Red Skelton took over the star billing exclusively in
    January 1939.  (Foley, meanwhile, left with John Lair and the Renfro valley
    crowd for the hills of Kentucky.)  When the show went to Chicago in April
    that year, Skelton and his sponsors took along several WLW'ers, including
    Phil Davis and his Orchestra and vocalist Janette Davis, later of Godfrey
    show fame.  Peter Grant, WLW announcer who did a fantastic FDR immitation and
    was busted by the Feds for doing the voice during Avalon cigarette
    commercials on the show  ("Ma fellow friends, you'll never guess but Avalons
    cost you less!"), decided to remain in Cincinnati.  Red's wife, Edna
    Stillwell, was also in the cast at the time, and helped produce the show.
    WLW, never shy in the self promotion department, always claimed Skelton as
    part of it's "Cradle of Stars," however, he was never an official employee.
    However, we have photos and recordings in our collection.

    On a side observation, about contacting celebrities, most BIG names have an
    agent or PR person who acts as a "firewall."  Getting past the firewall can
    be frustrating.  It took two years of badgering to get through to Andy
    Williams.  Eddie Albert's guy required the focus of any contact to be on
    environmental issues.  I'm still trying to break the wall to Doris Day, after
    seven years.  My advice is to not give up and to be creative.  In his book,
    "Goodnight Gracie," George wrote lovingly about the house he and Gracie owned
    on some street in Beverly Hills.  He wrote that he lived there today (at the
    time).  A magnifying glass of the photo of the house in the book revealed the
    house's street number and a quick trip to the post office gave the zip-code.
    I received a response in the mail the following week.
    Best,
    Mike

    I have been listening to some of his variety shows and notice a LOT of
    bloopers which were laughed off and kept in. When I Googled Avalon Time for
    more information, Wikipedia articles came up as a choice.  Do any of you
    contribute OTR information to Wikipedia?

    Subject:  Ellery & Phyl

    Another OTR fan, Kenneth Clarke inquires about differences between
    the radio shows of Ellery Queen and Phyl Coe. He asks "Wouldn't Phyl
    Coe be more confusing, having to wait another week to see if their
    solution was correct?" Then he ponders, "Would today's collectors
    have to get two week worth of episodes to see how one turned out?"

    The answer to both questions is "No."

    Phyl Coe Mysteries was a syndicated show and all the episodes were
    recorded before they started shopping the disks around to various
    markets. Once leased, the episodes could be played starting on any
    date of a given week, and then played in sequence order.

    While some of the clues to the solution of the crime were obvious;
    many were not. In either case, although Phyl almost always identified
    the culprit, the listeners in order to win cash prizes, had to fill
    out an entry form booklet (free from Philco dealers) and mail it in
    with their clues.

    The subsequent show did not reveal any of the solution for the
    previous programs. All of the episodes were devoid of this
    information in order to keep the contest fair for all entrants. So in
    each episodes, "What you hear is what you get."
