Can anyone here enlighten me about the works of science fiction writer 
Clifford D. Simak (what did he write, any biographical information, etc.)

I'm pretty sure I recognize his name from X MINUS ONE.

Recently I found two spoken word audio cassettes read by Johnathan Frakes 
put out by Durkin Hayes featuring short s-f stories by Simak. I'm not a 
big fan of talking books much prefering radio dramas but I really enjoyed 
these. Wonder how they came about? (ie is Simak still around?)

Many thanks to those digest readers who took the time to reply in person 
and on the list to my enquiry about Lang-Worth. I have passed along your 
information.

I had great response on Bell Telephone Hour and Music Till Dawn so
decided to try my other two programs which interest very few people.

I have a few copies of each show thanks again to the extra effort and
lots of hard work of Ted Davenport.  I cannot thank him enough for his
efforts.  

Are there any more copies of these programs out there?  I would
especially like to find a sponsored Phil Spitalny show.  Mine are off
AFRS.

You will notice I am not in all caps anymore.  Sorry for the fax pax - I
didn't know.

Thanks again for the help on the other shows I was looking for and hope I
may luck out again.


I do like many many other shows but they are easier to find and these
shows are not my only interest.

Don't you mean 1954?  I think it's quite likely that the show I heard part
of was a repeat.  As I recall, while the LR was on ABC, it was on Monday,
Wednesday, and Friday at 7:30 PM, at least where I was.  When it moved to
NBC, it moved to 7:00 PM.  While it was on at 7:30, I listened regularly.
When it moved to 7:00, I didn't listen regularly and fell out of the
habit.  This was because there were too many good things on television at
7:00 in my area (including Superman).  If I wasn't listening regularly,
that would explain why I came into the show near the end.

Looking forward to hearing what you find out.

I never minded not seeing the LR's face.  In fact, I thought that was a
nice touch, and that was the thing I least liked about the 1981 movie.
But I did want to know his first name.  Before I heard that radio episode,
I had gotten the two mini-comic-books put out by General Mills, one
telling the origin story, the other telling the story of Silver.  Since
the LR's first name was never used there, I did want to know it, and
that's why I asked my father after what little I heard of that radio
episode.

During the late 1970's a several radio stations in Columbus would periodically
broadcast shows from the Golden Age of radio. I also remember hearing a Lone
Ranger show which reenacted how the Lone Ranger became the Lone Ranger and
said that his name was John Reid the brother of Capt. Dan Reid. I don't
remember who played the Lone Ranger or Tonto but the announcer was Fred Foy.

Hello Digesters,

It's me again!  Has anyone ever tried storing their OTR collections on 
video tape.  I know it can be done because a friend of mine used to 
record some of his shows on video, but I am just wondering how good this 
is.  Any thoughts!  I am trying to find a way to record my shows so that 
I can get them off of the slow speed, but yet so that I won't have 
cassette tapes coming out of my ears.

A accidentally transposed two numbers in my last posting.  The last live LONE
RANGER broadcast of course occurred on September 3, 1954 (NOT 1945).  Sorry.
