    Subject:  OTR Organists

    Over the last several days, there has been some discussion about the work of
    studio organists during the radio days. Over the years, I have had the
    opportunity to interview three studio organists who spoke about their work.
    If you care to visit my Speaking of Radio website you will find my
    conversations with Rosa Rio (age 95 in 1997); Ivan Ditmars (age 84 in 1991);
    and Paul Renard (age 68 in 1989).

    Go to [removed] and click on "Interviews" then scroll down to
    their names. I'm sure you will find their comments interesting and
    enlightening.

    These are among some 200 interviews we had with the stars of the Golden Age
    of Radio during my 39-year broadcast career.  All are available for listening
    on demand, along with many additional articles and features about radio's
    glory days.

    CLASSICS & CURIOS

    "Echoes of Songs and Laughter"

    Episode 27: Texans Singing in the Saddle & on the Bandstand

    Singing Silver Screen Cowboys
    Songs of the saddle and the silver screen cowboys who sing them take the
    spotlight, especially cowpoke singers from Texas like Gene Autry, Eddie
    Dean, Tex Ritter, and Dusty King, And as every western movie cowpoke
    dude knows, non-Texan, Roy Rogers became part Texan by marrying the
    "Queen of the Cowboys," Texan Dale Evans. Songs featured include "Sing
    Me a Song of the Saddle," "Deep in the Heart of Texas," "Don't Fence Me
    In," "On the Banks of the Old Rio Grande," and "I've Got Spurs That
    Jingle Jangle Jingle."

    Texan Smith Ballew: Silver Screen Cowboy and Big Band Singer
    Smith Ballew was 20th Century Fox's only singing cowboy and was the
    fellow who sang on the soundtrack whenever John Wayne "sang" in the
    "Singing Sandy" film series. Prior to his cowboy roles Ballew had his
    own bands, starting with his 1920's jazz combos "Jimmy's Joys" and the
    "Texajazzers." His popularity soon extended beyond Fort Worth and
    Dallas, and he became a popular singer with bands of Ted Weems, Ben
    Pollack, Hal Kemp, and Ted Fio Rioto. He formed his own successful big
    band in 1929 with Glenn Miller as manager and arranger. In fact,
    Ballew's band is known for having more future band leaders than any
    orchestra, future leaders such as Glenn Miller, Bunny Berigan, Jack
    Teagarden, Ray McKinley, and Joe Venuti. On this Classics & Curios we'll
    showcase Ballew's singing on some rare recordings with bands like Ben
    Pollack's, Ted Wallace & His Campus Boys, Myer Davis & His Swannee
    Syncopaters, Buddy Blue & His Texans, Harry Resor's Rounders, and Milt
    Shaw & His Detroiters. Songs include ""Happy Days & Lonely Nights" and
    "Same Old Moon--Same Old June." In addition you'll hear a Classics &
    Curios Extra with the Mills Brothers doing "Bugle Call Rag."

    Subject:  Jean Shepherd question

    This group has, at times, worked miracles with vague recollections, so I'd
    like to see what you can do with this. My dad fondly remembers listening to
    Jean Shepherd. In one show, he says Shepherd asked listeners to speculate on
    the possibility that in all they world they were the only person listening to
    the show at that moment. Maybe everyone else had disappeared, and they didn't
    know it because they were listening to the radio.

    Does anyone remember a Jean Shepherd show that sounded something like this?
    Sorry I don't have any more details!

    Subject:  Whistler episode discrepancy

    So I just noticed that in my collection of the Whistler, there are two shows
    that are the same recording, but Marvin Miller gives them two different
    titles. The cast list and voice inflections are the same. So it's 51-10-14
    as Partners In Crime, which makes sense with the plot, but I also have
    51-10-28 as The Doctor's Wife. At the end of each episode, Marvin says the
    next week's show will be called Man On The Run. So what went on here? Can
    anyone tell?
    Thanks a lot.
    Matthew
