    Subject:  Big Band Remotes from Radio Yesteryear

    Does anyone know what happened to the Big Band recordings and other popular music
    holdings of Radio Yesteryear?

    On that same note, does anyone know where I could find a good source of Big Band
    remotes to purchase or study?

    Thanks,

    Subject:  Re: Ian the Impatient

    The awesome Aussie just posted another nudge.

    To Ian (and any other friends who care). There has been another slight
    delay. All because I'm what is politely referred to as a computer
    nincompoop! I screwed up the files when I tried to go back in and make some
    major text additions and add more graphics. Our illustrious Digest master
    once referred to Pagemaker, (the software I'm using), as "ragemaker". An apt
    term for sure. Anyway, to supplement my lack of expertise in other than
    simple word processing, I use a local "expert" to come in fix my "Pagemaker"
    goofs. Unfortunately, she's out of town for two weeks. Drat!

    I was hoping for a completion target date by the end of this month, and
    hoped to have it printed by the end of June. So, Ian old buddy, don't hang
    by your thumbs while waiting. Let's safely project getting a copy into your
    hot little hands by the end of July, and take the pressure off me, [removed]! :)

    Subject:  Calvin, the Colonel, & Herman Munster

    Jell-O Again!:

           With all this talk re: "Calvin & the Colonel"  & how it has remained
    somewhat obscure here in the USA, I was reminded that the only "accessible"
    piece of Calvinania today's t--------n viewers might encounter comes via the
    still-popular "Munsters."
           There was an episode that featured a German scientist creating a
    doppelganger version of Herman Munster named "Johan." At one point, Johan
    (also played by Fred Gwynne) is seen uproariosly laughing at the TV. What was
    on the screen?: a "Calvin and the Colonel" cartoon.  Not much of a surprise
    considering that both shows were produced by Gosden & Correll's
    proteges Connolly & Mosher  [as was "Leave It to Beaver" which featured
    Correll's son Richard in the recurring role of Richard, one of Beaver's
    friends].
            I couldn't tell you off-hand  the  title or the director of this
    episode, but  if it was directed by  "Henry Aldrich" himself--Ezra Stone(who
    directed several  other episodes), the OTR connection  would be further
    compounded. I  met Mr. Stone several years ago at FOTR/Newark & had him sign
    my copy of Stephen Cox's book on "the Munsters."

            It's noteworthy to point out that through endless reruns of certain
    shows from the 1960s, many non-OTR initiates today have more of a connection
    to OTR than they realise. Take, for example, "The Flintstones,"
    a show whose four principle characters were voiced by OTR veterans. Let's not
    even  mention all the OTR references evoked in 1940s Warner Bros. cartoons,
    which are still viable today. We'd be here all night.

             My profoundest apologies: I'm way "off-subject."

    Subject:  next anniversary is CBS Radio

    Unless I have my dates mixed up, the Columbia Broadcasting System will
    celebrate it's 75th birthday on September 18, 2002. Wonder how Viacom
    (present owners) will butcher that one??!! (hey at least CBS Radio exists
    in some tangible form)

    Subject:  OTR desktop theme

    I downloaded the OTR desktop theme that Richard
    Carpenter recommended, but can't find anything at the
    site he listed,
    [removed] called "Golden
    Area."  That's where he said an OTR screensaver can be
    found. Has anyone else been able to find it?

    I heard an excerpt today from a Fred Allen show that is new
    to me. Dated 1948 it was called Belmont on the Air.

    Elizabeth or anyone else, can you provide some background
    on this show?

    Thought you all might like to [removed] announced today that they will be
    reviving Dragnet in a new series by Dick Wolf (Law and Order
    writer/producer) scheduled to hit TV in mid-season 2002-2003. They have not
    decided if they are going to stick with the Joe Friday character or not
    though.
