    Hi All,

      Does anyone have any information or know where I might find some for 'That
    Was The Year', a syndicated series from the 30s?

    And I think Marge and Gower Champion were brother and sister.

    Dancers have always been poorly represented on radio.  Seems a shame.

    Subject:  got my living room OTR console

    I got the console for my OTR living room stereo.  A
    Silvertone 4786 w. green tuning eye.  Was in pretty
    decent shape for an as-is radio, the finish has some
    dings and needs cleaning, but it works, even in
    unfixed state, but is stuck on WLW because of the
    tuner. Having it work was a bonus. I had a lot of
    Philcos and Zeniths to choose from, but I thought the
    Silvertone looked the best. I just need it to hide
    some speakers in it (without altering the radio). Pic
    of a restored one:

    After some cosmetic work, it'll look super.  I also
    bought a 1940 Philco Chairside.   Restored one at
    [removed]
    Also needs some cosmetic work and electronic work if I
    want it to work.

    For the bedroom, I got a repro of the 1949 Coca-Cola
    cooler.  Hooked up a cassette adapter to my mp3/wav
    player.  Currently listening to the Rudy Valle's
    Sunshine Hour I transferrred recently.

    Subject:  Radio Spirits

    Have any of you been using Radio Spirits' new on line program: 30 day free
    trial to down load and stream old radio shows? I just joined the thing for
    30 days and have been having a devil of a time downloading and listening to
    [removed] get messages saying I need a license, codecs, when I thought all
    that was taken care of. No response from Radio Spirits. I was able to
    download two shows
    but only through luck and trial and [removed] nothing works! What have
    been your experiences?

    Just wanted to remind everyone that I am available to
    do research related to old-time radio, especially as
    it concerns metro Detroit; Michigan as a whole; or
    other parts of the midwest.

    Contact me offlist or see me in Cincinnati for more
    information.

    Those who haven't make up
    your mind to come it may be the
    last time you will have the opportunity to
    meet some radio
    stars and meet other old time radio fans who know how to
    have a good time. For a weekend you can forget what's
    happening in the world,
    and go back to a time radio
    was king. Make your plans now to attend, and
    maybe
    we can keep this thing going.

    This afternoon, I dug out an old vinyl record of The Right To Happiness.  At
    the very end of one of the episodes, housewives were encouraged to save used
    fats "until the Japs stop fighting."  Devon Wilkins.
