Message-id: <01HZ4HN2GR7O03SW5X@[removed]>

I have one of those dubbing decks that copies a cassette at 2X normal
speed, but I am less than satisfied with the sound quality of the copy.
Even at normal speed, there is a noticable loss in sound quality.  The 
best way I have found to retain sound quality is to play the master on
one cassette deck, and record the copy on a different deck.  It seems to
me that a machine built specifically to copy cassettes should do so 
without such a loss of fidelity.  A guy at Circuit City told me that
even their top-of-the-line machine would lose fidelity at 2X speed.  What
has been your experience?  Surprisingly, the best sounding copies I 
have heard come from the super high speed copiers that can copy both
sides of a C-60 in about a minute and a half.  Long Electronics sells
the bottom-end (mono only) machine for about $300.

Not certain of the spelling but what was the sponsor's product
Quticura good for?
With regard to Fibber et al, there was a Fred Qwynn associated
with the show but he was its engineer, I worked with him in
the late 60s.
And how many of you still have your plane spotter wheels from
your local bread companies?

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

I love the details on how certain shows got into circulation and who
found or originated the shows.

Macabre was originated by a friend of mine, Michigan collector Bob
Proctor more than 10 years ago.  Bob took them straight off the disks.
Bob and Ed Carr did a bit of trading several years ago, so that explains
how Ed got the shows.

I also have a set of Macabre.  Carl Amari (Radio Spirits) used to order
a lot of shows from me, so that may be where he got them, if it wasn't
Ed Carr.

In any case, nothing against Radio Spirits, but Ed Carr is a GREAT
source of programs.  His sound quality is second to none.  His two sound
ratings are "OK" and "NICE."  His "OK" rating is probably equivalent to
most people's very good to excellent.

Ed doesn't have fancy catalogs, but does have really low prices.

This seems funny me saying this because I'm in the same business, but
from my dealings with Ed directly, as well as through Collector's
Alliance OTR buying group, there's never been a disappointment and very
rarely (if ever) have we ever received a defective tape in the 12 years
the group has been [removed]<<that's a lousy run-on sentence, but
hey, I'm too lazy to correct it!

Happy [removed]

(btw, here's a good Christmas variety show:  2 hour special called
CHRISTMAS ON THE BLUE hosted by Gracie Fields, loaded with comedy and
[removed]"Blue" referring of course, to the BLUE NETWORK.  Anyone care to
tell readers the difference between RED, BLUE and ORANGE Networks?
Quick!  The prize is a cassette copy of the above to the first person!).

Someone posted a request to several newsgroups asking when George's 100th
birthday is, and where greetings can be sent.  Figured you-all might want
the same information.  Feel free to post this anywhere or to anyone who
might be interested:

can be sent to:

Subject: That's What I Like about the South
Message-ID: <[removed]@[removed]>

Does anyone happen to have a full set of lyrics for "That's What I Like 
About the South", Phil Harris's signature tune? I've always wanted to 
hear it. The closest I came was hearing Jack Benny analysing it once with 
Phil trying to convince him what a stupid song it was, but VERY 
regretably I didn't have a tape running for that two-hour Jack Benny 
special that was being aired on a local station at the time.

I realize this probably isn't the right forum to ask for these words, but 
I can't think of another. I've already tried [removed] to no 
avail. Others on the list probably don't care, so if you have the lyrics, 
please e-mail them privately. Thanks very much.

Bruce
