    Folks;

       Posted a personal wrap-up to last week's Cincinnati Nostalgia Expo to the
    blog; it's the usual audio-visual [removed], it's got photos and an
    edited video from the live SummersTime interviews with Ivan Cury and Bob
    Hastings. Also has my personal comments about the convention, and a public
    thank-you to convention producer Mike Wheeler.

       [removed]

       The first interview, with Bob Hastings, will air on Radio Once More at
    [removed] the week of June 17th; see
    [removed] for show times. The second interview, with
    Ivan Cury, will air the following week, June 24th.

             Charlie

    Friends,

    Do any recordings exist from the Second War series of dramas he wrote and
    directed for "First in the Air" on CBS?

    According to the book of scripts ("Long Way Home") published by Julian
    Messner in 1946, the programs were then repeated on "Wings for Tomorrow" over
    Mutual, and distributed to army hospitals and civilian groups as a series of
    recordings called "Coming Home."  Some of the scripts were rebroadcast on
    "The Army Hour" over NBC, and "The Land Is Bright" on CBS.  The book note
    says they were distributed on transcription, too.

    Pete Seeger was on one episode, Cisco Huston in another, and some of the
    music by Elmer Bernstein and Earl Robinson.

    Can anybody help?

    --Martin Fass

     From [removed]

    1909   An SOS signal is transmitted for the first time in an emergency
    when the Cunard liner SS Slavonia is wrecked off the Azores.

     From Those Were The Days

    1924   The first political convention on radio was presented.  Graham
    McNamee provided coverage of the Republican National Convention from
    Cleveland, OH.

    6/12

    1947   Sergeant Preston of The Yukon went national for the first time.
    The show, with the Canadian Mountie and his trusty dog, King, continued
    on the radio until 1955, beginning on WXYZ Detroit in 1938. Sgt. Preston
    was created by George W. Trendle and Fran Striker, who also created The
    Lone Ranger and The Green Hornet.

    1955   The first network radio show to be produced with no script, The
    University of Chicago Round Table, was heard for the final time on NBC.
      The program was the first network radio program to win the coveted
    George Foster Peabody Award.

    1955   "This is Monitor, a weekend program service of NBC Radio," was
    heard for the first time. Notables such as Bill Cullen, Ed McMahon, Hugh
    Downs, and Dave Garroway recited this line. It was a network cue to NBC
    radio stations across the nation who carried the long form news,
    entertainment and variety broadcast from New York City. Stations and
    listeners who were "on the Monitor beacon" were entertained for six
    hours or more each Saturday and Sunday night for nearly two decades.
    NBC's Monitor was one of the last live network radio programs on the air.

    6/13

    1944   The wire recorder was patented by Marvin Camras.

    6/14

    1922   A [removed] President was heard on the radio for the first time.
    President Warren G. Harding dedicated the Francis Scott Key Memorial and
    was heard on WEAR in Baltimore.

    1950   Harold Peary played the leading role of The Great Gildersleeve
    one final time. Willard Waterman took Peary's place in the role.

    6/15

    1936   Al Jolson and Ruby Keeler starred in Burlesque on the Lux Radio
    Theatre.
