Mike Timble asked,
>Does anyone know if Bob Bailey of  Johnny Dollar fame is still alive?

>From Variety, issue of Aug. 24, 1983:

"Robert Bailey, 70, veteran stage, radio, film and television performer,
died Aug. 13 in Lancaster, Calif.  He had lived at the Antelope Valley
Convalescent Hospital since 1971.
"A native of Ohio, Bailey entered show business working with his father,
Edwin Bailey, on the stage in 1925.  He did his first radio work the same
year.
"Bailey starred in the title role of the CBS radio series, 'Yours Truly,
Johnny Dollar,' and figured prominently in the Mutual Broadcasting show,
'Let George Do It.'  He also appeared in numerous Laurel & Hardy films and
was heard frequently on such shows as 'Lux Radio Theatre,' 'First Nighter,'
'Stars Over Hollywood' and 'The Knickerbocker Playhouse.'
"He is survived by his daughter and son."

Judging from the first paragraph, it would appear he was in ill health for
quite some time.

Someone asked about where the new NPR Corwin series will air in Bay Area. 
It will be KQED but you would need to call them to find out when it will 
air. In most of the country, it should start airing in the first week of 
April. By all means, if any of you can call your local NPR station and 
ask them whether and when they will be airing it, I would love it if you 
could email me and/or this list to so that I can keep track of where it 
is airing and pass it the info on to others in that area. alas, NPR 
doesn't tell producers until _after_ a series airs exactly where it 
aired. However, I do have some advance info about some markets that will 
definitely air it. If you live in these markets, please call your local 
station for details. Here's what I know about:

WGBH-FM, Boston (but won't begin until the summer, probably July)
KPCC Pasadena
KCRW, Santa Monica (maybe)
KIPO Honolulu
WAMU DC
KWGS Tulsa
WBEZ CHicago
WVAI Scranton, PA
KUER Salt Lake
KPBS San diego
KQED San Franscisco
WCVE Richmond, VA
KCBX San Louis Obisbo
WFPL Louisville
WQCS Fort Pierce, FL
Minn. Public Radio
Maine Public Radio
KVCR San Bernadino CA
Georgia Public Radio

Some time ago, y'all read an excerpt of Bill Harris' article on the 3 (4)
NBC chimes.  His article, complete with imagery and sounds of the chimes is
now at my page.  You can find it in both the "History" section and the
"Sound Snippets" section.

If you have never heard the -FOUR- NBC chimes, now is your chance, thanks to
Bill!

Don't know if this was answered, but, no, Bob Bailey died in 1983.
There is a SPERDVAC Radiogram that featured Mr. Bailey in September
of that year.  An interesting story is that everyone thought he had
died long before that when he was discovered in a nursing home, frail,
but still very much alive. Many otr actors immediately established 
contact and he was somewhat energized by this realization that he was
appreciated.  He died in August, 1983.

Actually, it was a convalescent home in Lancaster, CA.

Episode 4 of Captain Midnight is now at my web site. 
This is a great [removed] is a classic example of
the sponsor (Skelly Oil) using the radio program as a
vehicle for its products.  In this episode, Chuck &
Red (Capt. Midnight) spend at least 5 minutes trying to
come to grips with the nature of gasoline and its effect
on the combustion engine.

Episode 4, complete in RealAudio (remember you will have

Hopefully my 'net traffic problems are behind me for a while.
As usual, I'll be at Cincinnati 96 at my usual post, but with me this
year will be at least one of the guys from Collector's Radio Network.
We hope to do a live broadcast from the site on Saturday.

We are also excited to announce another affiliate, KSIR in Colorado
(covering 3 states) is considering carrying our programming.

Old time radio collector interview profiles [removed]
Barry Hill, Andy Blatt, Tom Monroe and Bill Bragg of Yesterday USA.
John & Larry Gassman will be joining us again in the next couple weeks
of SPERDVAC fame.  We're gradually working through a long list of some
of the most respected people involved in keeping OTR alive.
We are looking to talk with old time radio collectors with unusual or
special interests or accomplishments as part of our Radio Vault or
Collector's Corner segments.

If you know of someone like this, please drop me some e-mail or call
[removed] if you'd like more info on CRN, the same number
applies.  Kevin Starks is in charge of Affiliate Relations and one of
the producers for the shows.

CRN is on the verge of some very big announcements in the next few weeks
so stay tuned for details!

I live near Toronto, Canada and have been searching every means to find a
radio station that broadcasts OTR.  I sometimes can get a station from
Chacago. There are also a few local stations that broadcast OTR every little
while. Can someone point me to a shortwave station that broadcasts OTR?
