Terry Salomonson produced a excellent LONE RANGER log some years ago that is
still in print.  (Terry was still selling it two months ago at the FOTR
convention.)   It includes plot synopses of the first 712 unrecorded shows
([removed] "02/23/33  #11  Bad Bill tries forceful love-making, but learns a
lesson with cactus, and a rough ride on Silver") and titles for the later
2000 or so shows, along with star changeovers, timespot changes and an
additional listing if the episode was part of a series (Graser/Beemer
Transition, Black Arrow, Biographical, Tarantula. Son of Silver, etc).
 Titles are listed with both script numbers and recording numbers ([removed]
"04/09/41  #1281/498  Homesteader's Ruse   Transition series").  Terry's log
was compiled from WXYZ's own station logs, scripts, and his own voluminous
collection of LONE RANGER recordings.  I'm not sure if the address I have for
Terry is current so perhaps Jay Hickerson can provide OTRD with Salamonson's
current address.  -- ANTHONY TOLLIN

Country music artist Dolph Hewett of the National Barndance and RCA records
passes away in Kissimmee, Florida this past week. I had been playing music
at a jam session every Thursday night at Dolph's house for the past few
years. I learned much from Dolph and his wife Ruth (one of the Johnspn
Sisters singing trio) about the early days of pure country music. Seems that
Dolph and Ruth were close friends with Rex and Bonnie Allen. Ruth use to
rock Rex Jr. to sleep many a night. A great personal loss and one more of
grand old musician and entertainers to leave us. Should anyone have any of
Dolph's Barndance shows on tape I would sure like to make contact with you.

I don't know if this has been mentioned but I just listened to a very funny
appearance by Sheldon Leonard  on a Duffy's Tavern  episode from  March 16,
1949.  He appears as Spike McGurk , a tough customer who takes a dislikie
to Archie and the latter ends up being drawn into a fight with him.  McGurk
softens at the end and throws the fight.

 The definitive log was probably done by Tery Salomonson of AVPRO.  He 
seems to have recently come on-line, but I don't think he's joined us 
here yet.  His e-mail address is terryotr@[removed]
	There may also be others, which I'm sure folks will tell us about.

Strange that the article on the death of Neil Reegan spelled his name
Reagan, instead of Reegan.  Neil and Ronnie parted ways after an argument
and Ronnie spelled his Reagan from there on.

Jess Oliver wondered about the availability of a Lone Ranger log.
The most famous one was done some years ago by Terry Salomonson of Howell,
Michigan who is a subscriber to this list.  It is very extensive and I would
presume it is still available.

Somebody asked where they could obtain a LONE RANGER log.  The best one I
have seen was done by Terry Salomonson and his address is as follows:

Terry Salomonson
PO Box  347
Howell, MI 48844-0347

Terry is the author of a great many logs and has spent countless hours on
research of OTR.  Ted Davenport (Radio Memories)

Some subscribers questioned the accuracy of obituary reports concerning the
death of an early LONE RANGER while I was attending the SPERDVAC convention
in California.  The story checks out with the overall history of the
character if not with the official WXYZ history of the character.  Fran
Striker not only rewrote his earlier COVERED WAGON DAYS scripts as LONE
RANGER scripts; he also syndicated the new LONE RANGER scripts to other
stations including the Buffalo station he had been program director at before
he went freelance.  This was during the time before he sold the copyright on
the character to Trendle and was only selling one-time use rights to his
radio scripts on a station-by-station basis.  Naturally, this phase of the
early LONE RANGER broadcasts was left out of the official histories of WXYZ
and George Trendle.  The obituary mentioned that disceased played villains on
the Buffalo LONE RANGER broadcasts and filled in for John Barrett in the lead
when Barrett was unavailable.  This checks out with the information in Dave
Holland's wonderful history of the LONE RANGER; John Barrett did indeed play
the Ranger in the Buffalo broadcasts.  It's unfortunate that no one learned
about this additional LONE RANGER while he was alive and available to be
interviewed.  I regret we didn't know of his existance in thime to get him as
a guest at the FOTR convention. 
     Andrew Rodreguez inquired about The Shadow movie soundtrack and the
availability of CDs of the radio series in OTRD V96 #484.  The movie
soundtrack was released on CD and cassettes and can still be found in some
record stores.  Two CD collections are available from Great American Audio
and can often be found in Waldenbook, B Daltan and Barnes and Noble outlets.
 I can't recommend the first one (which contains 8 Orson Welles episodes)
since the original Frank Readick opening signatures have been crudely
replaced with later Bret Morrison openings and some of the shows contain
crosstalk.  I'm very happy with the two GAA collections I put together:  the
recent 5 CD and/or cassette collection, THE SHADOW CHRONICLES (containing 2
Welles, 3 Johnstones, 2 Morrisons and 1 John Archer SHADOW episode) plus my
one hour documentary, "Voices from the Shadows" (featuring interviews with
about a dozen cast members from the radio series and SHADOW creator Walter B.
Gibson) and my 56-page booklet, "The Shadow, the Making of a Legend."  GAA's
4-cassette boxed set of two years ago contained 2 shows each of the above
SHADOWS (including 2 previously unreleased "lost" Welles SHADOWS, the season
opening and closing episodes from Johnstone's first season and Morrison's
"Death in a Minor Key" which guest-stars Richard Widmark).  The
aforementioned collections have one duplication, John Archer's "The
Destroyer," which was included on both collections because there were only
two circulating Archer SHADOWS.  Both collections can also be ordered from
me.  I also will soon have a limited number of sets autographed by John (THE
SHADOW) Archer, Margot Stevenson (Orson Welles' lovely "Margot Lane" and
longtime SHADOW announcer Ken Roberts).
     I also have copies of the Smithsonian Westerns collection (both cassette
and CD versions) with the 60-page historical booklet autographed by both the
author (yours truly) and foreword author Fred Foy, and copies of Fred Foy's
autobiographical cassette including a Fred Foy autograph at no extra charge.
 OTRD subscribers can also obtain the Smithsonian Science Fiction collection
and many of Radio Spirit's 18-show six-packs and 60-show 20-tape collections
from me at 20% off list price (the same discount I offered at the FOTR and
SPERDVAC conventions.  I'm also preparing a "Spring Housecleaning" list of
OTR related books I have for sale (including the indispensable TUNE IN
YESTERYEAR by John Dunning and Buxton & Owen's THE BIG BROADCAST/RADIO's
GOLDEN AGE).  Subscribers are invited to email me for further information.
