    Subject:  Nurenberg Radio

    Would anyone have a days broadcast from Nuremberg
    Radio
    during WWII. Its the sign on and off that I am
    interested in.
    I understand that at the end of the broadcast day a
    song by the title of " At The End Of The Day " was
    played. It would be interesting to hear that too.
    I am NOT interested in The Nuremberg Trials, just any
    days broadcast with sing on and sign off if possible.
    Thanks
    Pete

    Our buddy Hal, actually, is one of a number of OTR performers who went the
    same route: directed TV shows.  "Vic and Sade" 's Bill Idelson, "The Bob Hope
    Show" 's Hy Averback and Henry Aldrich himself, Ezra Stone, are among the
    others.

    Subject:  Performers who went into politics

    Doug Berryhill mentioned that Bud Abbott become mayor of a town in
    California, and wondered if there were any other media performers who had
    similar success after their careers had faded.

    Well, how many of you remember that Andy Devine was mayor of Van Nuys,
    California during his tenure as a semi-regular on The Jack Benny Program?

    Then, of course, there as Sonny Bono, whose career in show biz was pretty
    much gone when he became mayor of ... let's see ... wasn't it Beverly
    Hills?  Then, of course, he was a Congressman.

    Subject:  "Boots"

    Hi Anybody,
    I recently had to call Fred Foy for his new address as I was going to send
    him a copy of the events on video tape which happened at the "Lone Ranger Day"
    at Mt. Carmel, IL. for the seventy year anniversary of the "Lone Ranger Show"
    and [removed],Il. being the home town of Brace Beemer ("the" Lone Ranger) and
    when Fred answered the phone said he wanted to tell me of him being awarded
    the
    "Golden Boots Award" to be presented to him in August later this year in
    California. It couldn't be given to a more deserving person than Fred Foy.

        Congratulations, Fred!!
    Till Next Time, Harold

    Subject:  Amateur Hour

    A few days ago someone refrerred to the Original Amateur Hour. The Major
    Bowes Amateur Hour on the networks was not the original.  Before I joined
    the technical staff of WHN in New York in the fall of 1936  Major Bowes
    was the manager of the station and hosted the Original Amateur Hour
    originating as I recall from the Lowes Ziegfield theater in New York
    City.  When he took his program to the networks the original amateur hour
    stayed on WHN with J. C. Flippen replacing Major Bowes and was always
    referred to as the "original". (my old friend Ray Saunders was the staff
    announcer and friend Frank Anzelone was the engineer.) I do not recall
    when it finally terminated.

    There was a little sideline to the Major Bowes operation. The amateurs
    were formed into units and booked into theaters. Before I went to New
    York to work as a broadcast engineer  (1935) I was working for a sound
    company in Cleveland and travelled one stormy  winter day to Ashtabula to
    supply a sound system  for  the appearance of one of Bowe's troupes at a
    theater. Apparently he formed groups of his amateurs and booked them into
    theaters. A little known sideline.

    does mutual broadcasting network still exist? if so, is there an archive
    available to the public?if not where would all that information have went?

    Subject:  OTR on Cable TV

    For those who live in Seattle or the greater Seattle area and receive cable
    TV from Comcast, old time radio programs can be heard 7 days a week from
    6:00am to 8:00am.  I receive the broadcasts on Scan-TV (channel 77) and are
    intended primarily for the sight impaired.

    Regards,
    Ken Dahl
