I got a laugh out of the response to Chet Cox's plug for the
LDS church. Since I spend some time in Utah each year and also
make use of the church's genealogical library from time to
time, I'll tell you those plugs were low key.
However, as Salt Lake City is something of a software center,
I'm starting the rumor that the church is behind a new programming
lanquage for the internet that uses modules called sermonettes. 
It's called Hot Postum.

I'm thrilled to hear that TOTM is still going strong in Florida.  My
sophomore year in high school (1979) my best friend moved from NJ to
Florida.  Since she knew I was an OTR buff, she sent me cassette recordings
of your show on a regular basis.  To this day, some of the best shows in my
collection are on those cassettes.

Congratulations on TOTM's upcoming anniversary.

I was watching a video of the 3 Stooges the other day and got to
wondering if they ever appeared as guests on anyone's show? I realize
their comedy was mostly physical/visual but I thought that they may have
appeared on something like Command Performance. Does anyone know?
thanks.

I have some Bob & Ray tapes from 1949, before they went to NBC, from a daily
program they did on WHDH in Boston called Matinee with Bob & Ray.  For a short
time one of their sponsors was Chesterfield cigarettes. When Ray started reading
the Chesterfield commercials, Bob went into a coughing fit. They did this
everyday for about a week, then Chesterfield disappeared as a sponsor.  Talk
about Henry Morgan doing in a sponsor!!

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

I'm looking for the radio recordings of the Marx brothers. I know that
Groucho did many quiz shows, but for the moment I'm searching for all
three of the brothers together. I know about the lp set "three hours,
etc.", is it still available somewhere? But I've also seen a cd-set titled
"the Marx brothers sing and play" Does anyone know if the cd-set is a
transfer of the lp one or if it's different material on them.

Yours truly:

Ok, before this gets out of hand, I guess it's time for the periodic
'focus please' plea for sanity post here on OTR.

First point.  If someone posts something you find objectionable, off
topic or what-have-you, please report your feelings *in private email*
to the administration of this list either Lou Genco
lgenco@[removed] , myself  wdp@[removed]  (or both
of us) and, if you feel so moved, a copy to the poster is OK.

No productive good ever comes from making a public spectacle of such a
matter, especially before private remedy has been tried and exhausted.

Second point.  When one is offended by something someone says, and
claims that this 'something' was not 'proper' to be included, *then*
proceeds to post a longer note to express his/her outrage, one does
nothing but call attention to the so-called offensive speech.

Third point. I looked at Mr Cox's  signature and nowhere in its [removed]
lines of text does it proselytize or discuss any form of religion.  It
offers a free book, gives an email address and nothing more.  And
while it certainly is NOT OTR related, it also is not selling
anything, preaching any gospel or in any way attempting to disrupt
this forum.  In fact his posts are always informative and he clearly is
a fan of OTR, regardless of his religion.  Therefore I  cannot see any
point in asking Mr Cox to remove the sig at this point.

Methinks Mr. Scherago is a wee bit sensitive and may be looking for a
problem where none exists.  I respect Mr Scherago's right to an
opinion, just as I respect Mr Cox's right to have a sig.  But I would
hardly call a [removed] line sig offering a free, no strings attached, book
to be "proselytizing to a wide and diverse audience" and he certainly
was not 'selling' anything.

I welcome your opinions on this, but *IN PRIVATE EMAIL* [removed] NOT
on the list.  Mr. Scherago was correct that this list is for
discussions of OTR, not administrative matters.

Thank you all for listening.

To Barry who asked about Zero Hour.

If my memory serve me correctly, these shows were broadcast M-F back in the
early 70's. I have some on tape that I recorded off the air.

If memory serves, Ruby Begonia was a figure in Andy's past whom Kingfish
knew about, and used the name as a sort of threat to tell all if Andy didn't
participate in Kingfish's current scheme.  Sammy Davis Jr. was harkening
back to those instances when he used the expression in his routines, and the
reference was instantly understood by those of us who remembered the radio
show. -If memory serves.

Hello OTR Listeners,

Those of you who can pick-up WMAQ, 670 kHZ. AM, can now listen to Old Time
Radio on Saturday evenings from 10pm to 12am.  This is addition to their
Sunday night OTR programming (same time slot).
The shows are hosted by Carl Amari.

This makes OTR 7 days a week on WMAQ alone.  Those of us in the Chicagoland
area are lucky to have such programs available to us.  Along with the other
Saturday and Sunday OTR programming (Carl Amari, Chuck Schaden and Don Corey),
both AM and FM, we have about 17 hours of OTR per week in the Chicago
listening area!

Marty
