I'm not sure the exact dates of the radio show, but it was no earlier than
1950 and it ended in the spring of 1955 on ABC radio.  It was on Saturday
morning and aimed at children, but it was also broadcast over Armed Forces
Radio.

As I understand it, they ran a story line in which the LR was seriously
wounded, and Tonto carried on by himself while the LR was recuperating.
Eventually, the LR's voice grew stronger, and it was that of Brace Beemer.
I'm not sure just how long the story line ran before the LR was back to
full strength.  I'd guess no more than a week or two (and the show ran
three times a week).

Subject: Jack Benny on A&E Lastnight

It was a nicely done program. A lot of the material is stuff that we have
seen before in the recent Benny Tributes on Television. Some of the footage
was new to me though (but not much)

They did play up the darker side of Mary Livingstone more that any other
show like this that I can recall.

I did enjoy the program,especially the bits with George Burns. And as always
Joan is a pleasure to spend time with. . . .

I was in The Cracker Barrel last night and read some of the magazine ads on
their wall, One said Sir Walter's Dog House every Tuesday night on NBC red
network.
I had not heard of this program. Can someone tell me what it was?

Try my web page. Changes every day (well almost every day).

I agree with Carl. CBS Mystery Theater was a good program. I have only 3 shows
but these are all 3 excellent.

Hi [removed]
I've located an extra copy of Listening Guide to Classic Radio which is the
1986 how-to handbook on how to collect, trade, organize and get the best
sounding old time radio.  It's 128 pages, soft cover.
There are also sections on the history of our hobby, the history of tape
recording, as well as a "rate the shows" section which involved a panel of
six collectors.
There are also resource and ad sections and a list of collectors with names
and addresses (which are now mostly outdated).

If you recently started using reel to reel, there is considerable discussion
on recording tape, equipment, etc.  If you recently started trading (on
cassette or reel) space is devoted to setting levels, etc.  There are two
sections on computerizing your collection (now very outdated).
I wrote the majority of the work, but several guest writers wrote certain
[removed]  Jerry Chapman (who was editor of the ORIGINAL Airwaves in the
1970's), Joe Webb, Terry Salomonson (whose series of columns is currently
running in the printed OTR Digest, Andy Blatt, Tom Monroe, Ed Cole, Bob
Proctor and Jim Snyder (NARA News editor today) all wrote sections.

An updated edition is going to be released, however, there are many sections
in this version that will be dropped.

Like I said, I only have one extra copy.  It was available for $15 by mail in
the 1980's.  The best offer takes this copy.  It is in excellent condition.
 Please e-mail me directly.  If you are interested in the new edition, do the
same.

Remember those old Bob Hope-Jerry Colona dialogs:

Phone Rings

Bob Hope:    Hello

Colona:      hello Hope, this is Colona

Bob Hope:    Colona, where are you?

Coilona:     Hope, I'm in China.  I've got a crew and were digging a hole one-
             mile wide from China clear through the earth to the US.  We've 
             already dug five miles!

Bob Hope:    But Colona, you can't do that!

             (Pause)

Colona:      OK, [removed] 'er up!


I also remember a Milton Berle show (I think it was Berle) in which we was
trying to get another guy to play a game of cards and he ripped off such
games as: "Sheepherder's double-shuffle, two-card Liverpool" and "16-card
Mexican slap-the deck."   

Cool.

I'm confused. If Cliff Edwards did Jimmeny Cricket, what voice
did Sterling Holloway do? (Not to be confused with the English
Stanley Holloway.) I'm faily sure he sang "When You Wish Upon A
Star."

I've read several times here that the theme of Gunsmoke,
written by Rex Khoury is entitled "Gunsmoke".  While in
the midst of trying to collect the entire run of the series
(nearly there, BTW), I came upon one episode in which Rex
Khoury plays his newly-written theme for Gunsmoke which
is called "The Old Trail".  (Can't recall which episode it
is however, but could find it if I spent some time listening
to the shows I've got.)  Was the theme ORIGINALLY called
The Old Trail and renamed?  It seems to me if it was
called The Old Trail originally, it was changed in a heartbeat!

I've just discovered that one of my open reel tapes is going to vinegar. =
I knew acetates and films would do this, but I hadn't considered tape - =
althoughthe box says polyester base. Boxes can lie.

Does anyone know of a fix for this?
