Subject:  Cincinatti Convention summary

I realized I never made a mention of this on the [removed] A summary of the
26 years Bob Burchett owned and operated the Cincinnati Old-Time Radio
Convention is available on my blog at the following link.

.html

There are photos of Parley Baer, Willard Waterman and many others. A list of
award winners are included. Bob did not have a list of who won which award
for specific years so if you won an award and can let me know what year you
won it, I will add it to the list.

In answer to a number of people's concern that they were not receiving blog
posts via e-mail when they subscribed, the solution has been made with a new
feedburner. But you need to subscribe again so scroll down to the bottom of
the page and re-subscribe. Even if you were receiving the weekly blog posts,
you still need to re-subscribe.

Already posted on the blog is a partial log of THE QUIZ KIDS, YOUR HIT
PARADE, THE JOE DIMAGGIO SHOW, a history of the radio program HAVE GUN-WILL
TRAVEL and an article about recent preservation efforts for old-time radio
shows is already available. "Lost" episodes (including plot summaries) of
BARRIE CRAIG, CONFIDENTIAL INVESTIGATOR will be posted real soon, along with
similar episode guides for THE FRED WARING SHOW, THE MARCH OF TIME, HIGH
ADVENTURE, PETE KELLY'S BLUES and many others.
