    For the best in OTR Chat, join IRC (Internet Relay Chat), StarLink-IRC
    Network, the channel name is #OldRadio.  We meet Thursdays at 8 PM Eastern
    and go on, and on! The oldest OTR Chat Channel, it has been in existence

    Subject:  A remarkable achievement

    Here is something that really impressed me. You know how there's been a
    discussion on how to make old time radio more accessible to today's audience?
    Here is one way.

    A guy took a Christmas episode of My Favorite Husband, used a computer
    animation program, and created a cartoon version of the show. Here is the
    link to youtube. [removed]

    There are three parts to the episode. Apparently it took him several months
    to complete the whole thing.

    Now I guess I'll have to sell everything I own, go back to school to learn
    how to do this, just so I can devote the rest of my life to "cartoonifying"
    all of the Jack Benny programs. Let's see, Benny started in 1932 and ran
    through 1955 - that's 932 episodes, which would take a little over 200 years
    for me to do. Hmm, maybe I should skip the first few years and start with the
    Jello series.

    Subject:  The Sportsman Quartet

    David Van Nostrand asked the "names of who made up the Sportsman Quartet
    from the Jack Benny Show."

    I found the following information from Tom Wagner, who posted it on the
    Jack [removed] website in 2002.

    "The Sportsmen "officially" joined The Benny show in Sept. 1946. They
    stayed through (at least) 1963. They made several appearances before
    becoming regulars. They were Jack's Lawyer's in January 1942 episode of
    The Frightwig Murder Case. They sang the "Yhtapmys" jingles. They sang
    "That's for Me" with Larry Stevens on January 6, 1946.

    The members when they became regulars were Bill Days (top tenor), Max
    Smith (2nd tenor), Marty Sperzel (baritone), and Gurney Bell (bass).
    Contrary to popular stories, John Rarig (baritone) did not sing with the
    group on the show (when they were regulars). He stopped singing in 1943
    and stayed as their arranger. Thurl Ravenscroft was the original bass of
    the group and left for the war in 1942. He came back in 1948, made a few
    appearances and ended up being booted from the group. He left with Max
    Smith and they formed The Mellomen.

    According Bill Days, who passed away on May 6, 2002 at 91, Mahlon
    Merrick was the one who got them into the show. He had worked on some
    recordings with them and suggested to Jack that they be hired.

    They were also featured on The Judy Canova show, Eddie Cantor show,
    Sealtest Village Store, Ginny Simms show, Blue Ribbon Town with Groucho
    Marx, Phil Harris/Alice Faye show among others."

    Subject:  Ronald Reagan

    In the latest issue of "Nostalgia Digest", Autumn 2011, it tells of
    Ronald Reagan being elected to the "Radio Hall of Fame." That has to
    beg the question, why? His radio work was minimal and what little he
    did do was of a pedestrian nature. Certainly not Hall of Fame
    standards. It is quite obvious he was elected because he was a
    president, while more deserving stars such as Parley Baer, Harry
    Bartell and Larry Dobkin are not in the "Radio Hall of Fame." I am
    sure that most of you can come up with a list of people who deserve to
    be in the "Radio Hall of Fame" more than someone who is there just
    because he is an ex-president.

    Of course, you remember the Quiz Kids.

    I have a contract with McFarland Publishing to write a history of the
    program, and I'm about halfway finished.  But I need your help.

    Do you have any materials pertaining to the program?  If so, I'd like to see
    them.  I'm looking for photos, preferably 8x10 glossies, suitable for
    reproduction), correspondence between the production office and the Kids or
    anyone else (Treasury Department, Alka-Seltzer, NBC, etc.).

    Do you have any ETs or CDs of the broadcasts? I already have about 120 of the
    broadcasts, but there are big gaps between 1941 and 1948.

    Finally, do you know any of the Kids, with their current addresses, phone
    numbers, email, [removed] Or do you know any of the production staff?

    If you want to talk, I'll be on the Thursday evening OTR chat. Or, you can
    send me an email: magardner@[removed]

    According to Dunning
       Sportsmen formed in 30's
         Bill Days, Max Smith, John Rarig, and Gurney Bell
    Later
         Jay Mayer, Marty Sperzel and Thurl Ravenscroft.

         Milt Josefsberg's  book The Jack Benny Show has a picture of the
    Sportsmen and Benny (page 366) but they aren't named individually  and a
    picture of a rehersal with Marty Spurzel pointed out (page 118).
