Subject: The Jack Kirkwood Show
While browsing an OTR Vendor's MP3 collection. I came across the Jack
Kirkwood Show. This brought back memories from the Winter of 1951/52. I had
a seasonal job that qualified for unemployment benefits during the winter
months. I spent the winter listening to Jack Kirkwood. So, I included this
CD along with several others that I ordered.
Right now, I am listening to the "Flat Man" episode where The Madhouse
Little Theater presents a satirized version of the Fat Man; "Look at that
physique; 7 feet tall, 3 feet wide, he steps on the scale, his weight 62
pounds. He is the Flat Man!" Pretty corny, but I enjoyed Jack then, and
still do!

Hi Folks.
Last Thursday BBC Radio 4 carried a piece about the search for 'lost' BBC
programmes.
I hope this link can be accessed outside the UK; item starts at 53'50 into the
show.
Cheers ! Graeme ( ORCA/UK )
