Radio Yesteryear offers a cassette containing all of Moran and Mack's
recordings.  Having just moved, I can't locate a recent catalogue to help you
order with, but the selection is one of their "stacks" recordings: tapes of
related 78s.  Maybe someone else can send in Yesteryear's 800 number.

I have a copy of this tape.  I had never heard of the 2 Black Crows, but
ordered anyway: was disappointed to find that it was not very amusing.

	To Charlie Stevenson:
I guess I ought to defend today's Radio Shack a little; sounds
like they have improved some since your day.  Most of their
radios with shortwave, anyway, are made by Sangean which is
a thoroughly respectable company with a decent product.  My
first shortwave radio, a little one, maybe DX-370 or something
like that (it's at home and I'm at the office), isn't the
greatest receiver in the world but it was and still is very
good value for the money.  Among other very rough wear it's
been dropped more than once from table height to concrete
floors and is still playing away.
	I eventually got seriously into shortwave and moved
up to more expensive things from mail order houses but for me
Radio Shack proved to be a very satisfactory entry point.  I
am now using one of their tape recorders and one of their 
timers to do some taping of shortwave and OTR, too.  Their
blank tapes hold up well also.  Certainly I haven't had the
kind of negative experiences you report.  And it's nice to
have something in the neighborhood.

Hi pals!
I've been listening frequently to Speed Gibson-programs lately and I think
it's a very fine series. But I don't know very much about it, only that it
was originally broadcasted in 1937-8. That's hard to imagine though since
my tapes has such a good sound quality. Can anyone of you give me the
answers to the following questions:
Who was the writer of the series?
Which actors appeared in it?
What was the theme Music?
 
It would be great if I could get this information.
 
So long!

Can anyone help me with the dates and titles of the following
shows?

Fibber & Molly - Someone abandons an old car in front of McGee's
house and he comes up with a scheme to sell it.

Lum & Abner - Lum wants to start a collecting agency. This program
is sponsered by Fridgeair(sp?). 

Lum & Abner - in order to make himself more attractive to Miss 
Emileen(?), Lum has the barber tint his hair, but it comes out
cold black.


Thanks for any assistance,

three are even from1948).

In response to the ongoing and continuing list of otr rebroadcasts on radio
-- WMAQ is  not an NBC affiliate.  When GE bought RCA they concentrated on
TV.  The radio stations were sold-off and the networks were sold to Westwood
One (Mutual) which I think is now wholly-owned by Infinity Broadcasting.  The
NBC affiliate here in NY is a sports station owned by Infinity and the FM is
an Urban-top 40/rap station owned by Emmis Broadcasting of Indiana.

Thanks so much to all of you who have taken the time in the past week to
enlighten me about the Third Man radio series!  It is very much appreciated
and, as a newcomer, I must say: I'm glad to be here!

[removed] The current issue of PEOPLE has a review of the George Burns bio,
mentioning in passing the book's 'revelations' on the infidelities of George
and Jack, and George's personal dislike of Mary Livingston. Of course, this
is not news to those of us who have been following George's OWN books.
 Sounds like a good read, though.

Subject: Various Questions
Message-id: <[removed]@[removed]>

As I've mentioned before, I'm attempting to rebuild my collection from
scratch.  Having just started raiding SPERDVAC's catalog, I can't help
but wonder if there are other good clubs out there with extensive
catalogs.  Any information about other clubs out there would be
appreciated.

In addition, I'm wondering if there are places where I can purchase
cassettes at good rates.  I started using TDK-D's, but Cam Audio, Inc.
doesn't carry them.  Thye'll sell me TDK Audio Masters for $[removed] each,
but are these any good?  I don't know much about tape.

That'll do for the time being.  I'm looking for two good tape recorders
that I can afford on a student's budget, and the equipment to use them
for duplicating.  Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Nancy
PS:  Oh, one more thing.  I've heard tell that there are OTR
conventions.  When and where?

Someone asked for material by the Two Black Crows (Moran and Mack).  I happen
to have sides 1-8 of the Columbia electric recordings with me here, although
at this time I can't offer a more professional copy than placing a dictating
machine in front of my turntable.  I also have Two Black Crows in Jail, but it
is back in Indiana.

Re: amendment to the posted Richard Diamond log:   

>  "Other Richard Diamond shows:
>   Although the BRC catalog listed none of the series, it did list
>   an hour-long LUX RADIO THEATER Richard Diamond story entitled
>  "Murder My Sweet" that aired 06-11-49 and starred Dick Powell."

Actually, "Murder My Sweet" was the Lux Radio Theater adaption of the 1945
movie of the same name. Dick Powell played Raymond Chandler's detective,
Philip Marlowe, and the story was based on Chandler's  novel, "Farewell My
Lovely." In fact, that was the film's title the first few days of its
release.  But audiences knew Dick Powell primarily as a song and dance man in
all those old Ruby Keeler, Busby Berkeley musicals from Warner Bros. during
the thirties, and RKO was afraid movie goers would think their new crime
drama was another Gold Digger movie. "Murder, My Sweet," sounded more violent
and seemed more to the point, so the title was changed.  Years later, Robert
Mitchum would do a respectable movie remake, this time using the story's
original title.  

Fortunately for Powell, his new image went over big with audiences and led to
a lucrative career as a cynical tough guy icon during RKO's "film noir"
period in the 40's and 50's. And, his role as Marlowe on the Lux Radio
Theater,  6/11/45, led directly to his role as Richard Diamond four years
later.

Strangely, Raymond Chandler thought Dick Powell was the best of the Hollywood
Marlowe's, better even than Humphrey Bogart - if such a thing is possible.

I heard an advertisement on When Radio Was recently for a 32 page newsletter
called 
Past Times.  It cost $ 20 a year.  Has anyone subscribed to this yet?  The
interesting
thing about it, is that it includes a 3 month listing of future WRW
programs.  It 
would be good idea if anyone has this list, that it be posted to the
newsgroup.  
It would be easier for me, to make first generation copies of WRW shows if I
knew in 
advance what programs were scheduled. I now have an automatic recorder set
up which 
tapes it for me every week night.
