    Subject:  YTJD Collection - Mystery Voice

    Rick Keating asked me yesterday - via the Digest - whose voice delivers the
    plug for Radio Spirits at the end of our new Yours Truly, Johnny Dollar
    collection.  Well, Rick, you have come to exactly the right place!  The voice
    at the end of the collection is none other than mine - Yours truly, Karen
    Lerner!  They have had me recording these promo spots at the end of our new
    collections for a while now, and I've been wondering whether or not anyone
    actually listened to them.  I guess now I have my answer.

    I'm really glad to hear that you are enjoying the collection and the new
    packaging.  Mary and I have been telling the powers-that-be all along that
    there are plenty of customers out there who still want cassettes.  The YTJD
    cassettes have done well and we're planning on releasing a number of our
    newer products in this format (in addition to CD).

    Best,
    Karen Lerner

    Subject:  Wrong! no Right.

    Even when I get it wrong, I get it right. One of the main reasons, if
    not the main reason I do the births/deaths list is to recognize some
    of the lesser knowns of old-time radio, if nothing else but to
    mention their birth and death dates. Recently I listed the wrong
    birth place of Korla Pandit, which by the way I did get from a web
    site. Seems he was born in St. Louis, not New Delhi like I had. But,
    because of that wrong birth place much dialog on Pandit was
    forthcoming. I was glad to see that. By getting it wrong it brought
    Korla Pandit in the forefront, if only for a short while.

    I want to take this opportunity to thank all of those who have helped
    me, by getting names and by sending me corrections. It is very much
    appreciated.

    Went over to the Oxford University Press website for a copy of "On the Air"
    for $19 and saw that it is the usual $65.  Did I miss the sale?

    Subject:  Korla Pandit ????

    For the past few  OTR Digests I have reading Korla Pandit and I said to my
    who the hell is Korla Pandit? What sex is Korla man or woman? Well I have
    read all the info about HIM one line and now I know his life history and I
    assume that the people who knew him are those who live near the Pacific
    Ocean, because his fame has never apparently never reached the Great
    Midwest.

    I have never heard of the man on Radio or TV and I have been listening to
    radio and watching TV for a long time and been an OTR collector since 1971
    and never seen or heard of Korla Pandit in my 76 years. I guess your never
    to old to learn!

    Do OTR collectors have Pandit's radio shows? Like some people of color he
    found he could pass himself as an Indian,and was more acceptable to society.
    How times have changed.

    Subject:  Origin Of "Don't You Believe It!" In Hollow
     Voice ???

    I am the originator of the following question on Google Answers:

    - ---
    Title says it all: What's the origin of the phrase "Don't You Believe
    It!" said in a hollow voice? It's probably from a commercial, and
    probably a RADIO commercial at that -- but a commercial for WHAT? You
    hear it from time to time, for example, in cartoons (I can cite at
    least two "Tom & Jerry" cartoons where it is used), but I have no idea
    what it is a reference to. Exempli gratia: Tom reads from a book which
    says, "A cornered mouse NEVER FIGHTS", and attacks a cornered Jerry.
    Moments later we see a black-eyed Tom intoning "Don't You Believe
    It!". Are there any Old Timers "out there" who can point to a web
    reference telling us Unknowing Youngsters the origins of this old
    chestnut?

    Subject:  Large OTR Collection For Sale

    Hello All,

    	Does anyone know anyone in the market for an instant
    OTR collection?  After almost 30 years of collecting
    OTR I find myself needing to find a new home for
    everything. Due to space limitations in my new house I
    am trying to sell my entire OTR tape collection. This
    includes approximately 2,000 - 7" reel to reel tapes,
    approximately 100 - 10 1/2" reel to reel tapes, and
    approximately 1,300 cassette tapes. You would have to
    pick up the collection in person with a van or small
    truck. I live just outside of Trenton, New Jersey so
    it could be a good opportunity for people heading to
    the convention in Newark next month. I will also
    include one reel to reel tape deck and one cassette
    deck.

    If anyone is seriously interested please contact me
    off list and I can provide more details and send
    attachments of the complete collection in Microsoft
    Word files.

    Tom
