To John Sexton, when I was a young lieutenant in military public afairs, I
was stationed in the late sixties at a remote Air Force facility: the USAF
Public Affairs office at Fifth Avenue & 53rd Street in new York City! Every
year, since we had a grand view, we hosted a press reception in our offices
during the annual St. Patrick's Day Parade. And annually, just as the parade
was concluding, Bob Considine would arrive to "hold court" for an hour or
two. It was obvious, too, that the gentle Irish gentlemen had made a few
stops at other celebratory sites before he visited the Air Force. Bob was
always great for a story or two, or three. It's great to have personal
memories of him.

PS: For former listeners of Lee Moore, the "Coffee Drinking Nighthawk" of
WWVA, Wheeling, WVA, and its "Jamboree", Lee is well enough to resume sending
15 minute "live" radio shows to me, from his nursing home near Troy NY. Let
me know if you want his address posed again; he needs cards of encouragement.
Sadly, Bill Monroe of the WSM Grand Ole Opry (since 1939) is not so well in a
Springfield TN nursing home. He is being treated there for a stroke, and
we're all praying for this 84 year old Father of Bluegrass, and, of course, a
true radio pioneer.

I know the time period isn't OTR, but does anyone remember Don Sherwood
and Carter B. Smith, KSFO radio morning men, 1960s, with an ongoing
routine in the mornings like Chicken Man? judyjones@[removed]

In the 1940 and 50s it was the rare radio station that ran 24 hours. In
the 50s, TV took a big divot out of the audience and you couldn't give
evening time away, let alone, after midnight. Two stations in the SF Area
were on overnight*. One was KCBS which ran Music Til Dawn and the other
was KWBR which was rhythm and blues. The KWBR jock was known as the
Nighthawk. Often, around 3am he'd offer a medley of your favorites and
light off three turntables at once at full volume.
The FM band was wide open in the 50s and some of the startup stations
had gone dark. Many signed on at 3PM weekdays and ran 7am to 12 mid on
weekends. That persisted until the early 60s when FM stereo started to 
take off. By the mid 60s there were a number of 24 hour stations on FM
in the San Francisco Area and now it's pretty much the norm.

I hope one of you seven that received the Ken Greewald tape will help me.
After reading all of the praise I wrote to Ken to see if I could receive a
sample of the work that he has done.  Unstandably, he said that he did not
have time to continue supplying samples (each tape had different radio shows
on it).  He suggested that I look at back digests and contact people that
commented on his tape and see if they would make a copy for me.  Naturally I
recently purged my computer off all of the old digests and the comment are
only a memory.  HELP - If you received a copy I would love to get a copy to
hear.  If you will email me with your address I will send you a blank tape
and a self addressed stamped mailer to return the tape to me.  I will be in
your debt.  Thanks

Another question.  Bill Cosby did a comedy routine about setting the bed on
fire as a child while listening to a chicken heart invading the world on a
radio show.  Is this based in fact?  No, not the part about the chicken
heart invading the earth, the part about the radio show about the chicken
heart invading the earth?  It sounds like it could be an inner sanctum or
the like.  Does anyone know?

Thanks a lot.

     Can you all stand one more comment about PEP?
     I was just listening to Mark Trail, which was sponsored by PEP. And in 
case you did not know, PEP stands [removed] Prize in Every Package.

Hi Gang -                    August 5 - 1996 -- Monday 10:30 PM cdt 

Thanks, Bill, for keeping on top of the otrdigest.  This posting will
serve two purposes - First, to see if the new server will accept my 
input, and Second, to pass along a little bit of information. 

In a few former issues, there were postings indicating that Casey 
Crime Photographer never took any pictures during the story.  I recently 
acquired a tape of Casey Crime Photographer programs from 1947 and 1948.
I only listened to the first four programs thus far, but I know that 
on at least on three of those programs, he took pictures, and on one of 
them he used his flashbulbs to thwart the criminals.

So if you want to hear Casey click his shutter,
You might check these programs:

1. Wedding Breakfast  10-02-47
2. The Camera Bug     10-16-47 
3. Key Witness         2-12-47 
4. Witchcraft          2-19-47  

I suspect he took pictures on the remaining programs on the reel, too, 
but I didn't get around to listening to them as yet.   

That's all for now.
