Subject:  Dragnet - TV Soundchek?

I've been a lifelong Dragnet fan and for years have searched for any type of
Dragnet transcription disc, either original or Armed Forces network with no
luck.

Hi Chad,

I have a lot of "Dragnet" Transcription Discs.  A few of them are shown
in my Transcription Disc Label database at:

9/18

1927   The Columbia Broadcasting System was born on this day in 1927.
CBS broadcast an opera, The King's Henchman, as its first program.

1948   The Original Amateur Hour returned to radio on ABC, two years
after the passing of the program's originator and host, Major Bowes.
Bowes brought new star talent into living rooms for 13 years.

9/19

It was just an average day this day in 1932, when Just Plain Bill was
first heard on CBS. It was "The real life story of people just like
people we all know." The 15 minute show (Monday through Friday at 7:15
[removed]) was all about (just plain) Bill Davidson and his daughter, Nancy,
who lived in (just plain) Hartville. Since Bill was the town barber,
everybody came to him with their problems    and Bill helped them
straighten things out.

Instead of playing the usual organ, as a first, Hal Brown played
harmonica and whistled the Just Plain Bill introduction music (Darling
Nellie Gray). Hal also handled the closing theme (Polly Wolly Doodle) in
the same manner.

The show, created by Frank and Anne Hummert, who also came up with Mr.
Keen, Tracer of Lost Persons, Little Orphan Annie, Amanda of Honeymoon
Hill, Front Page Farrell, John's Other Wife, Mr. Chameleon, Our Gal
Sunday and many other radio dramas, later moved to NBC. Just Plain Bill
chalked up 23 years on the air, until 30 September, 1955. A few of the
Just Plain Bill sponsors over the years were Kolynos toothpaste and
Clapp's baby [removed]

9/20

1921   KDKA in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania started one of the first daily
radio newscasts in the country. The broadcast came from the city desk of
The Pittsburgh Post.

1953   Jimmy Stewart debuted in The Six Shooter on NBC. He played Britt
Ponset on the Western.

9/21

1946   After being tested on a regional basis, The Second Mrs. Burton
was heard for the first time on the entire CBS network. The Second Mrs.
Burton fared very well, having a relationship with the network for 14 years.

1948   The serial Life With Luigi debuted on CBS. Luigi Basko was played
by J. Carroll Naish. Naish, an Irish American, became typecast as an
Italian immigrant, and went on to play the same role in the TV version
in 1952.

9/22

1943   Singer Kate Smith finished her War Bond radio appeal. For 13
continuous hours Smith had stayed on the air, collecting a whopping $39
million dollars in bond pledges. ($540,093,809 in 2015 dollars.)

1957   The CBS Radio Workshop was silenced after 18 months of what the
critics said was "ingenious radio programming."

9/24

1942   Glenn Miller ended his Moonlight Serenade series on CBS. It was
time for Miller to go to war. The show had aired three times a week for
Chesterfield Cigarettes.

Friends,

Listening to the Lone Ranger lately, and I begin to wonder how much the
cast heard during a broadcast. Did they hear the music or sound effects?
Were the sound effects in a separate acoustically isolated room? Was the
cast and crew relying completely on the director for cues?

I realize it may have been different in the early days. Also realize
that there are pictures, but that they may have been posed for the
camera and not represent the way it was really done.

This Week's Classics & Curios Show:

"Echoes of Songs and Laughter"

Episode 224

THE KORN KOBBLERS: THREE EPISODES

In the musical tradition of the Schnickelfritz Band, the Hoosier
Hotshots, and Spike Jones, the Korn Kobblers take center stage this time
on CLASSICS & CURIOS. The Korn Kobblers were discovered in 1939 by Guy
Lombardo at the Old Vienna in Cincinnati, OH, and they later opened for
Lombardo when he played the 1940 Wold Fair.

Billed as "America's most nonsensical band," the Korn Kobblers sextet
was part comedy act and part big band. In addition to traditional
musical instruments, they added their own self-invented instruments like
the "skoocherphone" and the "tuned smokestack," not to mention the one
instrument no hill-billy band should be without, a washboard. Their
jugs, automobile horns, tonettes, whistles, mouth harps, duck quackers,
etc., made more people laugh at the time than any other band in the country.

Like the Schnickelfritz band earlier and Spike Jones later, the Korn
Kobblers decided on the comedy approach to boost their earnings in the
music business. Actually the Korn Kobblers split from the Schnickelfritz
band when that group headed west to Hollywood. The Korn Kobblers then
headed east to a successful radio career. During their run, the group
appeared on 200 radio stations, plus the band made several short movies
and recorded several albums. One of their popular hits included "Don't
Give Me No Goose for Christmas, Grandma." Much of the band's comedy was
visual, so they dressed as the common idea of a hick in overalls,
flannel shirts, and floppy hats.

So on this Classics & Curios, three fifteen-minute Korn Kobblers
episodes reveal the group's unique musical approach in songs, starting
with "Ida," then "Oh, Them Golden Slippers," and a favorite of mine,
"The Cuckoo Waltz," which, of course, brings to mind the background
music for the great comedy films of Laurel and Hardy.

In the second episode, the "classical Kobblers" offer totally useless
clarinet and trumpet lessons, along with their versions of "A Bicycle
Built for Two" and "Georgia on My Mind."

In the closing episode there are three tunes, "Barnacle Bill the
Sailor," "Brazil,' and an Israeli folksong, "Chiri Biri Bim." Definitely
not "worth" mentioning, but appropriate, is an extra piece, "Concert for
Drum and Orchestra."

The closing melody is long enough for local stations to insert
commercials, so my own local commercial would be to listen to the Korn
Kobblers for musical smiles!
