I just listen to a Johnny Dollar tape from 10/20/57 purchased as part of a
package from Wireless a couple of years ago.  I noticed a PSA that was
vintage 1959.  I suspect it was an Armed Forces Radio rebroadcast but don't
know that for certain.  As a matter of interest, were the Armed Forces
broadcasts done significantly after original broadcasts dates as a matter of
course or is it more likely that a PSA was cobbled onto the show for
collector distribution?

Many of you may not be aware that the "The Whistler" was done as a TV 
series in the early 1950s. 39 episodes I believe; many of them quite 
good. The TV series was much more faithful to the radio Whistler than 
the Whistler movies starring Richard Dix. Many of the TV episodes were 
based on the radio scripts.

Bob Burnham wrote that he is giving a talk on collecting for beginners at
the convention.

Sad for me, I can not attend, at least not this year.

Bob, would you consider putting some of your thoughts down here for us to
peruse?  I could certainly wait until after the convention, so that things
would be fresh for those attending.

Might I be so bold as to ask you which frequency bands you notch out when
recording?  I am assuming 60 Hz. and 4 kHz, and perhaps even 40 Hz. for the
low rumble from old transcription equipment?

Are there books on this type of thing?

I have a couple of your tapes and they are as fine as any I have, but I
have not seen any of your lists.

Keep up with the technical talk!  I am enjoying this as much as the actual
material on the shows!

>From John Dunnings book "Tune In Yesterday":

X-Minus One was an extension of Dimension X, the fine NBC science 
fiction anthology that closed shop on Sept. 29, 1951. Almost four 
years later on April 24, 1955, X-Minus One opened on NBC, dramatizing 
many of the same tales previously heard on Dimension X, then striking 
out into deeper space with new adaptations and original stories.

Many of its stories came form Galaxy Magazine, featuring the work of 
such writers as Robert Bloch, Ray Bradbury, Isaac Asimov, Robert 
Silverberg, Robert Heinlein, Poul Anderson, and Theodore Sturgeon. 
Many of the old Dimension X production crew worked on the show. 
Scripts were adapted by Ernest Kinoy and George Lefferts; Fred Collins 
announced and Daniel Sutter was director.

     There is an article in today's (Tues) New York Daily News that Jean
Shepherd made a surprise appearance on a  NYC radio station, WFAN (660
AM). It was on Saturday morning at 2 AM. Radio appearances by him are
rare, and this one had little advance notice. WFAN is an all-sports
station, and Shep talked baseball, one of his favorite pastimes.
LIsteners were calling in to ask him to tell a story.
     If any Shep fan out there wants to read the article, E-mail me a
request with your FAX # and I'll send it to you.
