    popularity of radio.  Benton & Bowles invented the radio soap [removed]"

    Oh yeah?  News to me.  While I'm buying the first sentence, the second won't
    wash.  B&B sponsored a handful of daytime serials ... but "invented" the
    form?  I don't think so!  Whoever wrote that skipped all the documentation.
    I'm thinking Irna Phillips and Frank and Anne Hummert must be rolling in
    their graves.

    There's a whole lot of stuff out there way beyond Wikipedia that is suspect
    these days.

    Many thanks to you, Charlie, for the information on the Nexus 25 deal at
    Crutchfield. I am now enjoying channel 164 at home as well as in the
    car. There is another deal on the Nexus 25 at Circuit City. The price is
    $[removed] with a mail-in rebate of $[removed], making the item free. Anyone who
    missed the deal you told about, might try this.

    Subject:  Radio premium museum

    A couple of thoughts For Joe Martelle's museum [removed]

    I wouldn't limit it to radio premiums.  I'd make it a History of Radio
    Museum, with displays for your local stations and some of the legendary
    nationals.  This would be a great way to get your local stations
    involved, and most of your visitors will probably be familiar with the
    local stations.  And everybody knows (or should know) WXYZ, WGN, WSB,
    WHO, etc.

    You can still emphasize radio premiums, but they wouldn't be the do-all
    exhibit they would have to be if there were nothing else to see.

    Another idea:  We have a nearby museum (called the Douglas County Museum)
    that is a renovated old grocery store.  They change their displays every
    six months.  The theme might be WWII for one 6-month period, then the
    Depression, then Grandpa's Farm.  Nostalgia stuff, and many of the local
    citizens love loaning display items.

    All the exhibits are in flat glass cases that are right up against the
    wall, so it is an easy thing to turn the museum into a dance floor.
    Every month there's a Tea Dance, where a local Big Band made up of
    retirees performs for free, couples pay $10 to dance and buy
    refreshments.  This provides money for the museum to continue to exist.
    Most of the attendees are older, but some of the youngsters enjoy dancing
    to music of the 40's too.  And on New Year's Eve they have the Soda Pop
    Hop, a non-alcoholic New Year's Eve party featuring a DJ playing music of
    the 50's.  Many of the attendees are in their sixties, and they dress in
    leather jackets and poodle skirts.  Fun without drinking - what a
    concept!

    A lot of the dance attendees would not otherwise have ever visited the
    museum.  But when they go to the dances they see the displays, tell their
    friends, and so more people come to see the museum.

    Please keep us posted on your progress!
