    Dear Bob-

>     From: FabFicBks@[removed]

    I have an
    acquaintance  who actually has stacks of transcriptions  from the Og  radio
    program<

    Good, so [removed]

>     paid

    good money for disks and now finds he has no way to  recoop  his investment,
    and
    has instead decided to take the material  to the grave with  him<

    Well, I mean no disrespect to your friend, but speak on principle when I  say:

    I suppose such folks have a legal right to do that, but ethically it  makes
    absolutely no sense.

    If, as granted, the option of monetary gain  is now gone, what IS gained from
    withholding these shows from other listeners?  Vengeance of some sort?

    A sorry profit, that.

    Best,
    -Craig W.

    [removed] And we won't even consider the point, often well made by dear  departed
    Lister Harry Bartell, that actual LEGAL ownership of such  programs is a more
    complex [removed]

    Subject:  Bob Bailey in Bird Man

    I'd have guessed he was the shorter man on the right who mostly has
    his back to us. NONE of the sound like Bailey, which makes me wonder
    if there wasn't another one roaming Hollywood.

    Subject:  re: Fred MacMurray

    Kenneth wanted to know about shows starring Fred MacMurray.

    Radiogoldindex lists 95 shows featuring Fred MacMurray, at
    [removed],+Fred&ArtistNumb
    er=13298. That's not a complete list -- just what Dave Goldin has (or had) in
    his archives.

    Fred MacMurray starred in at least two series. One was Four Star Playhouse, a
    short lived 1949 program in which he rotated the weekly starring slot with
    three other movie stars (Loretta Young, Rosalind Russell, and Robert
    Cummings). Later, he co-starred with Irene Dunne in Bright Star, which was an
    attempt, I suppose, to create a Thin Man-like program in a newspaper setting.
    (Only instead of a married couple, it was an editor and her star reporter,
    who had a somewhat bickering relationship -- but the writers were going for a
    romantic mystery atmosphere which, if memory serves from the few episodes
    I've heard, they failed to achieve.)
