    Subject:  Houdini's brother: Theo Hardeen

    We have recently been discussing Houdini.
    Yesterday I heard a thing on WNYC from their archives in 1939 where
    Theo Hardeen talks about working in Hellsapoppin which was running on
    Broadway at the time and other things. He sounds like he is reading a
    script (quite badly).
    The segment is called:
    Past Present: How to Be an Escape Artist
    [removed]

    It must have been Old Time Day on broadcast yesterday because later
    on WFMU I heard this:
    "Brush Creek Follies was the second-most popular hillbilly radio show
    in the country, second only to Chicago's "National Barn Dance"
    program. Here's a rare chance to hear the "Twins Night" episode from
    1941 of this classic program. . "

    Regarding the question about who played the music for  Archie Andrews, My
    guess would be George [removed] organist whom I know played for some of
    Hal's shows.  George was in San Francisco at KFRC in 1941, then went to NBC
    in New York.   Later he came to Los Angeles and died in 1998.  He was the
    master of the Wurlitzer organ and many CD's are available. I would not be
    surprised if the music was something straight out of George's talented
    fingers.
