Message-ID: <[removed]@[removed]>

On 2/3/96, Ken Piletic wondered when Alistair Cooke started his "Letter From 
America" program on the BBC.  In the 1991 edition of "Passport to World Band 
Radio" there was a long article about Cooke and this program.  Quoting from the 
article (by Joe Rosenbloom III):
    
    "He's (Cooke) reminiscing not about his TV appearances, but about his first 
love, the vintage LETTER FROM AMERICA radio show he started in 1947, and which 
since has become his trademark.  His original mandate: talk about 'anything 
that comes to mind.'"
    
    So, it appears this does qualify as OTR.  Incidentally, the article goes on 
to say that "Letter" is cited by the Guinness Book of World Records as the 
longest-running talk show on radio.
    
    Another subject:  A few recent postings from people in their 20's is sure 
encouraging to find.  One of them suggested we keep the hobby alive.  I submit 
it will be up to these people to do just that!

Message-ID: <[removed]@[removed]>

For whomever asked about the Orson Welles interview with Peter 
Bogdonavich, it was published as 4 cassette tpaes by Harper Collins in 
1992 so it should be readily available.  I just purchased a copy at an 
outlet store for $[removed]

And some help needed.  Can anyone out there compare the GE Super Radio 
with the two Radio Shack radios (with shortwave) which normally sell for 
$[removed] but are now on sale for $[removed]  I'm afraid my use is pretty much 
limited to trying to get WMAQ in Chicago from Central Wisconsin.  Will I 
find anything useful re OTR on Shortwave?

Thanks in advance for the advice.

I have been listening to this Texas radio station over the internet by
Realaudio.  They are suppose play a lot of nostaglia radio shows, but the
only ones I have heard so far are When Radio Was, week nights at 9 PM EST.
Does anyone know when they program old radio shows?  Thanks

Here's an article from the Pine Ridge News (Lum Edwards, Editor;
Mr. Edwards, Publisher; L. Edwards, Biz. Man'gr.; A. Peabody, Staff):

CEDRIC CELEBRATES HIS FIFTH BIRTHDAY

Quite a few of the folks was out on Feb. 29 this year to help Cedric
Weehunt celebrate his fifth birthday.  Coming on Leap Year Day like 
that, it aint but once in four years that Cedric has hisself a 
birthday, and his folks try to make up to him fer it.  Everything 
come by fours, even to the foots on the setter pup his Uncle Mike
Weehunt sent him.  Cedric also got the other nickel to make up the
20 cents Grandpappy Spears has gave him over the last four birthdays.
Nobody was took sick much with the birthday cake which was four foot
acrost and had 20 coal oil lanterns to lighten it up.

*chuckle*  I'm embarrassed to say I was trolling a bit [removed] I wanted
to summarize the storyline real quick to emphasize that it didn't sound
like any kind of award-winning episode to me. Paul Hughes, that gravelly
voiced actor who sounds like he's talking through his nose, appears in
practically every episode of the Lone Ranger. Thus you can categorize
each episode as one of three types, "G", "B" and "OS", based on the type
of character played by Paul Hughes:

    G  -- Good guy
    B  -- Bad guy
    OS -- Off Sick, apparently, and doesn't appear in the episode

You are free to hurl pieces of Silvercup Bread in my direction.  ;-)

I have used National Audio Co for at least 5 years.  They
are in Springfield MO (417) 863-1925  I just received their
1996 catalog.  Examples of prices: C62 $47/100 C92 $63/100
C120 $129/100  All about 20% less in quantities of 500. 
They also do reel-reel, DAT etc and most accessories, also
tape duplicators.
