AMC showed a great print of this 1940 Republic film this [removed]; made to
promote the Opry's network arrival on NBC in 1939. Roy Acuff & the Smoky
Mountain Boys, Uncle Dave Macon, and George D. Hay, the "Solemn Old Judge"
brought back precious memories of the Opry when it was the real stuff.

Thanks, AMC!

I've just started receiving the Digest, and am thoroughly enjoying =
learning more about OTR.  I was born in 1956, and really "discovered" =
OTR when I came across "When Radio Was" being broadcast locally.  I =
started taping the shows for later listening, and now I'm hooked. By the =
way, any suggestions on a reasonably affordable way to build my =
collection? I have a nice 4-track reel-to-reel, but my collection is far =
too small to be worth much for trading.

I'm also curious if anyone has come across a CD or cassette called "The =
Music of the Lone Ranger." I came across the title recently, and tried =
to order it from a few music stores, but it appears to be out of =
production.

At any rate, thanks for the Digest and to all involved. It's a great way =
to be connected with other fans of radio!

  I just came accross another copy of John Dunning's TUNE IN YESTERDAY. The
text is complete and the book is in reasonably good condition, but it is a
trade paperback and not a hard cover volume. I will sell it for the best
offer I receive at this e-mail address or by phone (914-962-3680).     Dave

Message-Id: <[removed]@[removed]>

According to THE BIG BROADCAST (Buxton & Owen, Viking Press, 1972, p. 99),
there was an Ellery Queen radio show beginning in 1939 on CBS.  Doesn't say
how long it ran.
   "This program was based on characters created by Frederic Dannay and
Manfred Bennington Lee.  One of the program's features was 'The Armchair.'
A great celebrity would serve as an armchair detective and try to guess the
solution of the mystery just  before Ellery Queen revealed the actual [removed]"
   I think it ran into the 1940s because I vaguely remember hearing it a
few times.                                      Ted Kneebone
