The Radio Program Collection is to be transferred from the Learning Media
Center to the Microforms Department at a new library facility which opened
this past year.

At that time a new tape-duplicator will be installed exclusively for the
use of the Radio Archive.

Until that transfer is successfully made, and those individuals who will be
in charge of duplication are trained it is suggested that you hold orders
until we are up and running.

Upon the change being made the WWW pages, catalog, information, etc. will
be updated.

Thanks you for your support.

For the person wondering about Evan MacBride, like Ken Piletic, I traded with
him a few times, and agree with [removed] DON'T THROW OUT THE COLLECTION!  Put
it into use.  And if you don't want to, one of the old time radio buying
groups will buy it (turn it into cash for you) and put it into use among its
members.  Evan's company was called Majestic Reruns, and he had kind of a
fuzzy print catalog with a lot of interesting nuggets.  His last supplement
came out at least 8-10 years ago.  I may still have a copy, but sorta doubt
it.  I'm sure I still have the tapes from Evan.

I have been collecting Stooge related reference for some time.  I too 
wondered whether they had appeared on any radio programs.  To date, I 
have not been able to find any reference to any radio appearances 
they made, however that doesn't mean they didn't.
I know The Stooges had made some guest shots on Ed Wynn's tv show in 
the 50's, and probably others before they had their second wave of 
popularity.  I would be interested in hearing about any OTR 
performances also

Did someone post awhile back that they were looking for episodes of the Popeye
radio show?  If so, you can email me as I have just gotten 4 of those in.

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

	Does anyone have any information about a show called 	CAPE COD MYSTERY 
THEATER?
	I know it's not strictly OTR, but it's in the tradition. I'm wondering 
when it was originally on and where. It sounds like the 70s or 80s to me. And 
it sounds like a Public Radio show since each show is a different length. 
Only Public Radio, or listener sponsored radio, would be so casual about 
program scheduling.

	Thanks to Frank Passage for the Log of Grand Marquee. I find this 
romantic comedy show amusing and now know that there are alot more shows then 
the dozen or so that I have.
	It's hard to imagine Olan Soule as a romantic lead. Especially after 
seeing him as the nerdy criminologist on the revival (in color) of Dragnet.
	Does anyone know if he's still alive?

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

To add just a bit to Gene Bauman's account of the history of RB, I 
believe that on one of the Amos 'n' Andy continuations, Andy was on 
trial (for breach of promise?) and this is the reference Sammy Davis 
had in mind as part of the Here Comes The Judge routine on Laugh In. 
Davis often referenced the Amos 'n' Andy Show in clubs, especially when 
sharing the stage with Sinatra or Dean Martin, usually doing a broad 
imitation of the Kingfish's mellifluous way with words.  Which, come to 
think of it, Martin used to do most of the time.

Does anyone know where I can get clear Norelco cassette cases without
"hubs".  I know of several dealers who handle cassette cases but no one
seems to have or know about clear cassettes without hubs.  Can anybody help?

Message-ID: <960428204642_385229905@[removed]>

For the last few months, on and off, I've been working on putting together a
complete run of The Mysterious Traveler on cassette. You know, the definitive
sort of collection, with best available sound quality, in order of broadcast,
Dolby B, cast lists on the J-cards, etc. As far as I can tell, I am missing
three surviving programs, and I'm hoping someone out there might be able to
help. 

Here are the shows:

Man in the Black Derby  1/26/48
Queen of the Cats  6/16/48  (Not the 1944 version)
Till Death Do Us Part  11/11/48

If anyone can help me with this, I would be most appreciative, and I have
plenty to swap. (Yes, I know that Radio Yesteryear sells the Queen of the
Cats show listed above -- but that vendor's dealings in the Shadow matter
leave me thinking I ought to look elsewhere first.)

By the way, as far as I can tell, either 63 or 64 episodes of the Mysterious
Traveler survived, a few more than are listed in the Hickerson book. (Several
shows are listed in catalogs with incorrect titles.) I've managed to figure
out the broadcast dates for all but three of the programs, and for those of
you who are curious, I'll post a log to Lou Genco's WWW page when I get done,
with a cast list and a listing of spurious titles.

Now, if only someone would try this with Inner [removed] [removed]

Hi 

        As a fellow radio show collector, I have come to a point in my
collecting life where my collection in my closet.  Now I don't have to
listen to Fibber McGee & Molly to here the closet. I just have to open mine
and I get real live sound effect.  What do you store your collection in, on,
around, etc.  Could someone out there tell me where to find great storage
devices.  Also does anyone out there use a computer program to keep track of
your shows.  If so, what do you use.


thanks

Subject: Re:  Commercials on the OTR forum
Message-Id: <[removed]@[removed]>

My apologies to Robert I. Scherago and anyone else who may have 
been equally angered by my accidental use of my default signature 
(which mentioned the Book of Mormon, which I use on religious 
boards) instead of my alternate signature (which usually references 
how to reply using GroupWise procedures) when I answered a Jack 
Benny/Lucky Strike comment.  I've switched the two around, so the 
default one will now be my GroupWise signature.  (GNN's procedures 
aren't that helpful in selecting one over the other in individual 
messages.  Any other GNN users out there?)

On the other hand, I'm surprised that Robert would fly into such a 
tangent.  There was obviously no malicious intent involved, 
("selfish motives" he calls it?  Sheesh!) and it appears that this 
may be just another case of prejudice, something which we hoped to 
avoid for our children by moving to Utah.  Ah [removed]

And on the other hand, we choked laughing so hard at the other 
"mis-heard" cigarette titles:  "Call for Philip NORRIS."  WINSOME 
[removed]"  "[removed] satisfy."  Thank you, Carol1144.  
(Don't AOL's numbered names make you feel like a prisoner in the 
villiage?)

(Now, lets see if the right signature goes out with this [removed])
