Kellogg's Pep wasn't anything special, but the hype on the lone Ranger
or was it Superman?... was effective as were the printing on the boxes!  
Model planes, etc. were available on the boxes after you ate the stuff.

Galen, Duffy WAS the only voice not heard on "Duffy's Taverne".  

Casey, Crime Photographer only snapped his shutter at the opening and
possibly the closing signatures of the show with "Got it!  Look for this
in the Morning Express!"

I think it was Duffy who never appeared; he was at the other end of the phone
call from bartender Archie. Incidentally, am I the only one who sees some
pretty strong palagarism from "Duffy's Tavern" by the producers of  TV's "All
in the Family?" Both leads were named "Archie", but the malaprops used by
both Archies is too coincidental for comfort. And don't tell me that Redd
Foxx wasn't influenced by the many characters of "Amos & Andy!"

I am looking for the airdates of the "My Favorite Husband" program
starring Lucille Ball.  I have over a dozen shows, but only 2 airdates.
Anyone with information or airdates, let me know.
Thanx

Just wondering if there are any sources [removed] traders, clubs, libraries or other organizations that might carry any recordings of Abbott and Costello.

Perhaps this will be one of the first 400 reponses to the Duffy's
Tavern question. Every show began with the phone being answered:
"Duffy's Tavern, where the elite meet to eat. Archie the
manager speaking, Duffy ain't here."
Duffy was never there.
But his daughter, Miss Duffy, was on many programs. For several
years she was played by Shirley Booth who, at the time, was
married to Ed Gardner, who played Archie.

Actually, he does, but only at the opening. Listen to it via my web site and

Duffy was not heard on the show.  And, just for fun, Thurl Raven-
scroft was also the voice of the Ghost Host on the Haunted Mansion
at Disneyland and Walt Disney World.

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

I'm another recipient of one of Ken's amazing tapes and whoa nelly, I was
really impressed. It's like the difference between am and fm. I listened to
the tape -- a great 'Name of the Beast' show (April 11, 1946) starring
Vincent Price and Crime Photographer (Nov. 23, 1947) -- on my car stereo and
it really was an experience. Clear as a bell -- like someone mentioned
before, it was almost like sitting in on a live performance. I was very
impressed.

Hi Everbody from Hot and Humid Japan

I have been thinking about something that I wonder if anyone else has
thought about.

What has happend to the offspring of the radio greats of the past?  For
instance:

What profession did they choose?  Where are they?  What are they doing now?
How did they make out in life?  Of course we all know about Candice Bergen,
and Joan Benny appeared as a panelist for awhile. But there are many others
that we don't know about.

If I were to make a list of offspring I'd be interest in knowing something
about I guess I'd start with:

Perry Como
Bob Hope
Red Skelton
George Burns
Jim and Marian Jordon
And many others.

I can understand and appreciate that many if not most of these people
probably want to lead a quiet, private life without intrusion from the
press.  In fact I heard some time ago that Perry Como would not even permit
his children to be interviewed or photographed by reporters.  In any event,
it's of some interest to me.  I could even envision a book entitled
"Offspring of  Radio Stars of the Past - What Became of Them?"

I realize that this is slightly off the OTR track, but certainly it is
closely related.  I'm sure many on this list could come up with a list of
offspring of famous radio greats of the past that they would be interested
in knowing something about as well.  Would anyone care to comment?
