Subject:  A CD MP3 player that works!

Today I finally fouund an MP3 player that will play
all of my MP3 OTR shows, and this includes CDs
from different dealers.  It is a Sony ZS-X3CP ($129)
and with all of the necessary connections (extra) it
plays through my car radio, from 6 D Cell batteries,
and from the included transformer for household use.
It has a readout that will give the show number, the
total number of shows and the name of the current
show playing.  Turned back on, it will start where you
left off, and you can move ahead or back through the
programs.  Now when travelling, or in a motel, I can
listen (by headphone(s) or internal speakers) to my
favorite form of entertainment.  My thanks to a past
posting that tipped me to this handy boombox.

One of the list members asked for some clarification of my message from
[removed] The 'Passage Logs' are part of the [removed] website.
If you click on the old radio and then look on the following page, there
are several references to the old time radio program logs, clicking on them
will send you to the Passage (and other) logs.

That being said, I downloaded my set of Passage logs about a year [removed]
Since then - it appears that someone has removed the text table of who has
what episode of the Crime Classics series. The Humongous OTR Database no
longer indicates what dealer carries what episode of a program series. Both
the Passage logs and the searchable database have been reduced to a pure
'episode log'. Soo, if anyone is interested in an Excel spreadsheet showing
what episodes 14 dealers, 4 private collectors, and 10 clubs have in their
holdings, e-mail me privately and I would be happy to forward my log of
Crime Classics to those interested.

Subject:  'He's a Mudder'

Kenneth Clarke reminisces,

I believe Lou [Costello] was considering buying (betting on?) a horse.
I don't remember it all, but some of the points raised in it were whether
the horse was a 'mudder' and feeding the horse some 'fodder'.        Does
anyone know the skit I mean?  Better yet, do they know where I can find a
tape of it?

The routine was used in the movie The Noose Hangs High, starring A&C and
Leon Errol.  It was released in 1948 and was released some time ago on
videotape.  Some of the older video stores might have it in their classic
comedy collections.

Let's not forget that American radio had no monopoly on sayings that found
their way from the ether to the High Street.  For example:
"Can I do yer now, sir?", "I go---I come back" and "penny for the diver" from
ITMA (BBC, early 1940s)
"I say, I am a fool" (Much-Binding-in-the-Marsh (BBC, 1940s)
"He's fallen in the water," "I say, I say, I say" and a host of others from
The Goon Shows, 1950s

 From Those Were The Days --

1873 -- Lee DeForest was born on this day in Council Bluffs, Iowa.

DeForest seemed to be a born inventor. He held patents for hundreds of
different items including the photoelectric cell and the surgical radio
knife. But none had as much impact on the world as his invention of the
electron tube, specifically the triode, a three element vacuum tube,
which later became the audion tube -- possibly the most significant
invention that made radio possible.

1939 - Arch Oboler's Plays presented the NBC Symphony, for the first
time, as the musical backdrop for the drama, This Lonely Heart.

Subject:  THE BRIDGE IS UP CLUB  Lee Trent

The Bridge Is Up Club was sort of an inside joke/alert amongst the radio
actors in Chicago.  All 3 network stations were on the North side of the
Chicago River.  CBS & MUTUAL were just North of the river, on Michigan
Blvd.  NBC, in the Merchandise Mart, was on the North side of the LaSalle
Street Bridge.  Many times actors came from other stations, on the South
side of the river, and many times were late in reaching the studio
because one, or all of the bridges were up.  Needless to say, somebody
filled in until they arrived, but they would always alert, with the
emergency message, "The Bridge Is Up."

I missed this Associated Press profile of Stan Freberg when it hit the
papers last week - fortunately the Bergen Record is on the job preserving
it.

It's a great, long article on Stan and his career, a great read for this
list.
