    Subject:  AFRS library discovered

    I read the article. I looked at the photo and I'm getting a mixed
    message. So I'm asking, "what's all the fuss about?"

    The photo shows a solider looking at a pop 12" LP album of Larry Gatlin.
    The records on the shelf in the yellow sleeves appear to be the same
    size, and if I am not wrong, the time frame for this station given in
    the article would lead me to expect a lot of 12" records, not 16". The
    article also says 75 - 16 X 16 boxes to ship them. I just don't see a
    photo to support the existence of 16" records. Perhaps they are using
    standard 16" boxes to ship 12" records for extra protection. Yes, there
    could be some late vintage OTR in there, but the prospects so far look
    to me like a buncha old LPs. More details are desired.

     From The Today in History, NY Times

    12/19

    1932    the British Broadcasting Corporation began transmitting overseas
    with its Empire Service to Australia.

    12/22

    1920   WEAF, in New York City, aired the first broadcast of a prize
    fight from ringside. The fight was broadcast from Madison Square Garden
    where Joe Lynch defeated Peter Herman to retain the bantamweight title.
    Bantamweights top the scales at 118 pounds. Just think, either of those
    boxers could have been mistaken for the microphone stand.

    1922   WEAF once again proved to be the pillar of radio promotion. This
    time they broadcast radio's first double wedding ceremony. 4,000
    spectators watched as the two couples exchanged vows at Grand Central
    Palace. The broadcast was made in conjunction with the American Radio
    Exposition. The couples each got $100; a hefty sum in 1922 ($1268 in
    2009 dollars).

    12/23

    In 1928, the National Broadcasting Company set up a permanent, coast to
    coast network.

     From Today=s Almanac --

    In 1947, the transistor was invented, leading to a revolution in
    communications and electronics.

    12/24

    1906   Professor Reginald A. Fessenden sent his first radio broadcast
    from Brant Rock, MA. The program included a little verse, some violin
    and a speech.  (This is a disputed event according to some sources -ed).

    1944   The Andrews Sisters starred in the debut of The Andrews Sisters'
    Eight to the Bar Ranch on ABC. Patty, Maxene and LaVerne ran a fictional
    dude ranch. George 'Gabby' Hayes was a regular guest along with Vic
    Schoen's orchestra. The ranch stayed in operation until 1946.

    Subject:  The Lone Ranger's Theme

    Quoting from Jim Harmon's book, "The Great Radio Heroes": "From the first
    the stirring 'William Tell Overture' was the theme. The 'Light Calvary
    Overture' was considered, but no more than that. All the show's music was
    from the classics-beautiful public domain, royalty-free stuff. Though chosen
    for economy, the classic themes gave the show a heroic stature hard to
    beat."

    Subject:  "Contemporary" Rebroadcast of Campbell Theater?

    Folks;

       I am doing some reel conversions for a good friend and local OTR group.
    I've used this opportunity to teach my thirteen-year-old daughter how to
    thread a reel - a skill I'd wager few kids her age have acquired.  ;)

       Anyway, I came across something I'd never heard before. One of the reels
    of Campbell Playhouse seem to be "contemporary" (possibly 60's/70's)
    rebroadcasts, also sponsored by Campbell Soups, hosted by Helen Hayes. She
    "introduces" the stories after the theme music, then throws to Orson Welles
    from the late 30's/early 40's, then a "modern" Campbell's commercial, and
    into the story.

       Anyone know anything about these odd recordings?

              Charlie
