    At the end of November, I asked on the Digest if anyone knew the name  of a
    singer named "Kay". She sang the "Be  Sociable" Pepsi jingle that I  have
    heard many times on "Yours Truly Johnny Dollar" episodes from 1960  where she
    is only referred to by her first name. I would guess it was  heard on many
    other shows and I fully expected that there would be a  reply at once on the
    Digest giving her name. Although nearly 2 months have  passed, no one has
    come up with it. Indeed, I have only heard from one  person and he is certain
    she is not Kay Thompson. There are several other  well-known "Kay"s who
    could be the singer, such as Kay Starr or Kay Armen, or it  could be someone
    who never became famous. I am confident someone reading this  Digest must know
    her name and hope I shall learn her identity soon.

    Best wishes from England,

    John Gardner

    Subject:  End of the Cincinnati OTR Convention?
    X-Converted-To-Plain-Text: from multipart/alternative
    X-Converted-To-Plain-Text: Alternative section used was text/plain

    I hate to see the Cincinnati convention end. It was my
    birthday/Christmas/family reunion all rolled into one. I wonder if others feel
    the same? I hate thinking that I will never see my Cincinnati friends again.
    And I wonder if there is a way to save the convention? I live too far away to
    do anything in person, but I do have the internet, and this communication
    board, and I can provide help through those. I have not discussed this yet
    with Bob Burchett, by the way. Bob wants out, and he mentions that he isn't
    getting any younger. I accept that. But I think that someone else could take
    over the local running of the show. As for stars, it doesn't matter that much
    to me. We could expand the convention to early TV, and that would greatly
    expand our roster of possible guest stars. Martin Grams knows a lot of these
    people! And even if we had no stars at all, I'd still come. We have a lot of
    "regulars" who are as professional as the real professionals, both on stage
    and behind the scenes. Don Ramlow's group has been doing a no-star show for
    the past few years, and I think it is just as well-attended as the shows with
    stars. For me, the stars are great, but not a necessity. The big question is a
    financial one: Would the dealers continue coming? The dealer room seems to
    fill up fast every year, and if they are making money they will probably be
    there. For those of you who attend, what do you think? Would you accept TV
    stars rather than radio stars? Would you continue to attend, even if there
    were NO celebrities there? We have a lot going on at the convention besides
    re-creations. Martin's video shows, Neal's Yesterday USA live webcasts, Ryan
    and Doug's OTRRG presentations, my own Trivia Quiz, and all the stuff for sale
    in the dealer's room that we will never find anywhere else. I love all this,
    but for me the chief draw is the friends I've made over the years. It is
    heartbreaking to think I'll never see them again. So what do you think? Is it
    possible to keep this thing going? Please join the Cincinnati Old-Time Radio

    Hi Folks
    This British website has over 200 hours of footage available to view.
    Go to: [removed] and in their search box put in 'Wartime Radio - the
    secret listeners', a 1979 BBC documentary that might be of interest to readers
    of the Digest. There is also some footage of the offshore station Radio
    Caroline which can be found through the search box.
    Readers in the US might
    also be interested to see that the website also has some rare colour footage
    shot during the war by US bomber crews based in England. Best way to see that
    footage is to go to the 'Browse' link on the site and following it to the
    section marked 'Wartime'.
    Happy hunting !
    Cheers ! Graeme ( ORCA / UK )
