As a former employee of NBC radio I welcome you here. The folks here are a
great group who are bonded their love for OTR, with discussions touching
many aspects of broadcasting, what our business was and the preservion of
the old broadcasts.

For myself, I've enjoyed being on the list, especially for those times when
the discussion turns to something that I touched or is about the people I
worked with and the productions they worked on. I work on the non-commercial
side of the business now, a service originated on the spirit of OTR.  So
hello, and welcome!

Francis

   Just a note to give further credence to an enormous potential audience for
OTR.  Just expose folks to the medium and they love [removed] ALL ages.
   I just participated in an RV conference, "Life On Wheels" at the
University of Idaho and part of my contribution was a presentation of my OTR
stage show, "Thrilling Days of Yesteryear."  There were several hundreds in
the auditorium and they loved it and the age brackets of those attending were
quite broad.
   In addition, I've been invited for a return engagement of our OTR program
at Sun City, AZ November 1st.  On a previous date there we performed before
several hundred in one of their indoor activities centers.  This time, it
will be in their great outdoor facility and I'm told we should expect an
audience of around 5,000.  A great way to stir up the memory banks of those
in  attendance.
   Just a little personal note, if I may.  Coming up on August 12th will be
the anniversary of my 50th year in broadcasting and still going strong.  I
broadcast my RV radio talk show live from the Idaho conference and am
currently narrating a series of CD-ROMS on our national parks.  Have
completed Carlsbad Caverns and Denali with the final segment on the Kenai
Peninsula being wrapped.  A little note about Year 50 is included in the most
recent addition of my newsletter.  More details on the newsletter, also
called "Thrilling Days of Yesteryear," are available under the Sponsor
section of Lou Genco's Web site.  Check it out.

I got my first edition of OTR digest and what do you know, I was surprsed to
see that in the first article, Rush Limbaugh was mentioned ina tongue in
cheek manner that was not very positive.

I listen to him daily, and as I said in my Introduction, I am a staunce
Conservative. I enjoy his show, not because I agree with everyrhing he
[removed] HE AGREES WITH ME!

So when you want to look for some bad radio product to bore folks into
listening to old [removed] not try some of the "head banging" rock stations.

Try Rush for 6 weeks, and you'll start to say, "yeah, he's right." Listen to
what he says, not how he says things. As my Dad once said, " sometimes you
have to hit a mule between the eyes to get their attention, just to get them
to take a drink."

I'm sure you will hear from other folks who might agree.

Thanks, and Dittos!

Jim Beedle

PS: I don't have a "significant other," I have a very loving wife of 30 years
that I love a [removed] and by the [removed] likes Rush also.

Just want to tell you OTR folks that an annual tribute to one of radio's
first super stars, and the first star of the WSM "Grand Ole Opry", will be
held Fri-Sun, July 12-14, at Cannonsburgh Park in Murfreesboro, Tennessee.
Uncle Dave joined the Grand Ole Opry in 1926, remaining there until three
weeks before his death, in March 1952. He was heard on the NBC portion of the
show in the early days; the "Prince Albert" segment.

The whole thing's free, and a weekend of competition in clogging, buckdance,
and bluegrass & oldtime country music singing and instrumentation. We see
some of what's left of Grand Ole Opry oldtimers, and there's a lot of
reminiscing about the good old days of WSM and the Opry. I'm the emcee
Saturday night, and Murfreesboro is only a thirty minute drive south of
Nashville. Introduce yourself to me if you attend! 

BILL KNOWLTON: "BLUEGRASS RAMBLE", WCNY-FM, SYRACUSE, UTICA, WATERTOWN NY
(since 1973)

PS There's a website for Uncle Dave Macon Days:

Hi Friend,
In "lux presents Hollywood" it says that Berry Hill bookshop carry most of
the about 600 available shows. Are they otr-tape producers themselves or
do they just distribute tapes from other companies. Do they have an otr
catalog, and what are there prices?

Best

For those of you who hear YESTERDAY locally via a commercial broadcast
station,
by satellite home receiver, by INTERNET (via RealAudio) or will soon hear us
via
RCA/DSS home satellite or a new connection worldwide with a Nashville short
wave
station (whew!!!!) you may be interested to know that Nashville singing star,
Ronnie
Milsap is joining the lineup of broadcasters who host the many old-time radio
and nostalgia shows 25 hours a day on YESTERDAY-USA.
Ronnie says he's been listening to the network for 2 1/2 years now, and
decided to give
Bill Bragg, President a telephone call, and while talking with Bill made the
decision to
become part of the "family". Just so happened we had a vacant chair at the
time.
I have no idea what Ronnie will be featuring, but we'll know soon when he
starts his run
on YESTERDAY-USA.  Our ability to "reach out" has grown by leaps and bounds,
and what were only dreams to folks like Bill and I many years ago, have now
become
actualities. For more information on how you can hear YESTERDAY-USA, please
write
to Bill Bragg at the network headquarters in Richardson, TX. His E-Mail
address is:
yusaotr@[removed]    You can also FAX Bill at (214) 644-2473.
Listen for our upcoming show with Stan Freberg, celebrating the release (July
2nd) of
his new RHINO recording of History Of The US - Part Two - The Middle Years,
which is
available on CD or Cassette with or without Part I he made at Capitol Records
- Part I -
The Early Years - 35 years ago. The two together are a SMASH.  Stan and I
will discuss how he made the albums, why the long delay between the two
parts, and
a lot of other things, including how to get the album(s) if your dealer
doesn't have them yet. Part One has been held as a radio collector's treasure
ever since Stan made it in
1961. Now the "set" is bound to become the same.  Happy Holiday!!

I think I read some years ago that Roy remarked that when he dies, he
wants Dale to have him stuffed and mounted on Trigger.
