If Lois Culver is reading, the [removed] Times printed an obituary for Ted 
Meyers over the weekend.  He was 82.  Ted was the familiar voice on 
Channel 9 TV for many years, but I remember him as a young staff 
announcer at KFI, which is where I landed his autograph in the 
mid-1940s.  He seemed to be a genuinely nice man.

Didn't many Jack Benny episodes work out of the format of, "A funny thing
happened on my way to the studio for tonight's show . . . "

Jack (or whoever was narrating at the moment, but I guess it was usually
Jack) would proceed to describe an incident, swiftly segue into a full
re-enactment, and off we'd go. The whole thing would circle around, lead up
to Jack's arrival at the studio, and now it was time to go on the [removed]

...except it was time to go off the air.

BTW, since I've mentioned my novel "The Radio Red Killer" a number of times
here in the Digest, I'll give you an update. If any member considers this SSP
(Shameless Self-Promotion) please forgive me and just go on to the next
posting.

For those still reading -- I turned in a draft manuscript and received a
fairly lengthy "revision letter" from my editor. This is the fifth novel
we've done together, and the letter is [removed]

He likes the book, feels there's too much police procedure in it (easy to
cut, no problem), but also wants some things added.

One of them is -- more OTR script excerpts.

All of the OTR material in the book -- in fact, all of the script excerpts --
are fictitious, unless they're historic documents, so I'll sit down and write
a few more segments.

Fun, fun fun!

-------------------

Let me join other members of the Digest in wishing happy holidays to all, and
looking forward to more good OTR talk in the new year!

Lou starts a new game!
<<<Looking for endings to the phrase "Old radio never dies, it just ..."

some candidates might be:
"... fades away."
"... suffers from QRM." (only Hams might appreciate that)
"... reappears on tape."

Do you have an appropriate witticism to add to the end of the phrase?
If so, let's hear it!>>>

How about "...finds its plots or stories being lifted and corrupted in TV
& movies"?
