It would not have been Walt Disney himself, as he died in 1966, and Cliff
checked out in, I believe, 1971.>>

I deeply apologize for my error. It is possible that it was Disney *Studios*
which placed the plaque in honor of Cliff after he died.

<<the film was hollywood hotel and, sorry, it wasn't sterling holloway. even
sorrier, i checked a couple of references including a history of warner
brothers and the busy berkand can't find a credit list. the singer was one of
goodman's musicians, a trumpet player i think, and i don't recall any credit
OTHER than singing hooray for hollywood.
his first name was a nickname. stuff? snuff? if anyone has the busby berkely
cd or the great warner brothers lp's that came out a bit ago celebrating 50
years of talkies, he'd be listed as the talent.
sterling holloway, though, was the voice of gyro gearloose.
and ronal reagan has a bit part as a radio announcer in hollyood hotel.>>

I actually am sure that I know the singer you're thinking of, but for the
moment, cannot recall his name. I will check my sources. However, I seem to
recall that after "Hooray For Hollywood", he became a somewhat "Hot" property
for a time and appeared soon thereafter in several films, singing other
numbers in that same unique voice. I will try to track down any more accurate
information I can for a later Digest.

Yours,
Jeffrey

I think you're thinking of Mason Adams.

Also played Charlie Hume, (Lou Grant's boss) on the Lou Grant TV show.

A long list of movie and TV credits. Indelibly drilled into my brain as
the voice of Smuckers ("with a name like [removed]").

One of the friendliest voices on the planet.

I have recently heard about digital audio tape.  Can anyone give me some 
information on it such as, what is it?  Is it better for storing OTR than 
regular cassette tapes?  Where can I get it?  And how much should I 
expect to pay?  Of course if it is really no better for keeping OTR than 
regular cassettes, then I don't need to know all of this.  Please let me 
know.

In keeping with the earlier question of railroad settings and OTR, just
heard a Shadow episode "with the lovely Margo Lane"  that took place
entirely on a transcontinental train.  It concerned a diamond jewel robbery
and was titled:  Giant of Madras.

Recently, the other night, I caught a Dick Van Dyke show rerun where he decides 
to bring old radio people onto guest host the Alan Brady Show. He had on Bert 
Gordon the Mad Russian, and two others whose names I am not sure of - David 
Karp, the Fish Man and Florence Holliday, or something, who did phone 
monologues. Well, I've heard of Bert Gordon, but not the other two. Anyone hear 
of them?  The Fish Man did visual fish imitations and I'm not sure that would 
play on radio anyway.

The Heever Herbert story was told by the quilty party, Harry Von Zell,
on a tribute to radio in 1956 on the Ed Sullivan Show. I have a
tape of the audio. Harry said the blooper came at the end of a
trubute to President Hoover on the occasion of his birthday. Up until
then, it had gone pretty well.

I tried to e-mail information to the Boston gent wanting memorabilia of WCOP.
My message was returned, so bear with me. I'm sure he can get WCOP "Hayloft
Jamboree" material by contacting the New England Country Music Historical
Society: Gordy brown, Pres. , 74 Antrim St. Cambridge MA 02139, 617-876-6638.
