    Subject: December 7, 1941 NBC Coverage

         One of the greatest disappointments of my entire
    OTR life was eight or 10 years back when I purchased
    seven or eight cassettes of NBC broadcasts from Pearl
    Harbor Sunday. This purchase, from a very well-known
    dealer, would have DOUBLED my recorded audio material
    for that historic day.
         Alas, the sound quality was so abysmally bad that
    I've never been able to listen to more than about 10
    minutes of this stuff, and even that in three or four
    different sittings. I am not faulting the dealer's
    recording techniques - the fault lies squarely with
    the original source recordings. They were all on paper
    discs.
         My question today is - are there now any
    better-sounding copies? Has any of this stuff ever
    been cleaned up and restored? I'm certainly hoping so,
    since we're not dealing with PINTO PETE but with
    American history itself.
         (I'm purposely not mentioning the dealer's name
    because everything else I've EVER purchased from him
    as been genuinely first-class, excellent sound audio.)
         Thanks for any assistance.

    	I remember the Oral Roberts program well. During the late 1950's Radio
    Station CFCW in Camrose, Alberta had religious programming all day every
    Sunday, and Oral Roberts, to the hopeful strains of "All things are
    possible, Only believe." was on the air offering miracles at four
    o'clock in the afternoon. I was 10 years old and had been legally blind
    since birth. When Mr. Roberts instructed the alfflicted to touch the
    radio as he prayed for healing, I touched the radio and prayed with him.
    Well, I'm still legally blind and Radio Station CFCW is now playing
    country music at four o'clock on Sunday afternoon. But Roberts and his
    radio miracles are a neat little memory.

    'Fraid not.

    These are newly-recorded performances from the original scripts,
    performed by a Pennsylvania-based performer by the name of "Uncle Ed"
    Bolton, who has been doing them for about three years now. Bolton grew up
    a devoted fan of the original A&A in the 1930s, and the production is
    something of a labor-of-love for him -- he does the entire thing himself,
    from making photocopies of the scripts off LOC microfilm to recording the
    episodes in his home studio, to paying for the airtime out of his own
    pocket.

    There are several obvious clues to distinguish the recreations from the
    originals:

    1. Ed is now doing episodes from the fall of 1930. The originals would
    have opened with the theme music performed by a string trio, not an
    organ. The organ opening did not begin until late 1932.

    2. Bill Hay had an unmistakable Scots accent (which makes sense, since he
    was born and raised in Scotland.) Ed doesn't try to imitate him -- his
    introductions are done in a straight, generic "announcer" voice.

    3. The voices of Amos and Andy and the rest of the cast are clearly not
    Correll and Gosden.
    Aside from the difference in voices, the pacing of Bolton's delivery is
    noticeably faster when compared to that of Correll and Gosden in
    surviving 1929 syndication recordings.

    4. Sound effects are inserted beyond those specified in the original
    scripts. The only sound effects heard on A&A during 1930 were a telephone
    bell and an occasional door knock.

    5. The closing NBC system cue follows a form not used until 1946.

    Bolton's programs do not precisely represent the original broadcasts --
    he's taken a number of creative liberties with the presentation of the
    material, and I think it's better to describe them as "reinterpretations"
    rather than "recreations." As such they should be judged on their own
    merits, and not by comparison against the originals. But they are
    certainly *not* the original programs.

    I have to stress that there's exactly *no* chance that a substantial run
    of 1930-32 A&A recordings will ever surface, unless someone comes up with
    an effective method for tuning back thru time. There's a very slight
    chance that individual shows or fragments might turn up but long runs
    will not. They simply weren't recorded.  Miracles happen sometimes, but
    not in this case.

    I will say, though, that it's entirely possible that a run from 1940-42
    *might* appear someday -- I have proof that recordings were being made
    off the line for Canada thruout this span, and maybe a pile of discs is
    stuck in the back of a closet in Saskatchewan someplace. This latter
    period offers the best hope for any major finds in the A&A serial series.
    And when and if they're found I'll be very happy to transfer them at no

    Subject: NEW Cheerios LONE RANGER tie-in

    Derek Tague (of the FOTR committee) just informed me of a new Cheerios-LONE
    RANGER tie-in that's currently in grocery stores.  In honor of the 60th
    birthday of Cheerios, General Mills has released a commemorative set that
    includes two 15-ounce packages of cereal and a miniature metal LONE RANGER
    lunch box (the same one I have seen in stores for $[removed]).  Even better, one
    of the Cheerios boxes is a replica of the old one with The Lone Ranger on the
    front, while the history of Cheerios' long association with the character is
    explained on the back.  And the set even includes a cardboard cutout of The
    Lone Ranger's mask.  Derek paid $[removed] for the 2 boxes of cereal and the
    lunchbox at a New Jersey grocery store, though I purchased my set at a local
    San Antonio supermarket for only $[removed], a dollar less than the normal retail
    price of the replica lunch box alone.  --Hi Yo Silver away, ANTHONY TOLLIN

    i don't know, but your question reminds me of an idea my mother once got,
    which didn't work out.
    I was around 3 or 4 years old when my grandparents moved, and they decided to
    give me their
    windup victrola.  My father would wind it up good before going to work in the
    morning, and that
    lasted awhile.  Then I had to try to wind it myself, best I could, unless my
    mother was available.

    Anyway, one time I left a record on the radiator.  It was one of the newer
    "unbreakable" records,
    and the heat caused it to get a few bumps on it.  My mother, for some reason,
    thought putting it
    in the oven might fix it.  It didn't.  It melted the record even more.  I was
    rather fascinated to see
    the record all goey.

    A few days later, at the dinner table, my father announced that he had a
    record for me.  It turned
    out to be a new copy of the one that had been destroyed.  I still remember
    what record it was:
    "Manners Can Be Fun," by Frank Luther, one of a series of Decca 12-inch
    records.  I still have
    those records, and to this day, "Manners Can Be Fun," being newer, is less
    scratched than the
    otners.

    And I remembered never to put a record on the radiator again.

    TV has too firm a grip on too many people .  I was raised on TV and my
    parents used it as a baby sitter  allowing me to watch hour upon hour of
    televison. There was a time when life for me WAS  watching TV. I planned my
    whole day around  the
    TV schedule . I recall being restless , with no attention span for reading or
     listening in the classroom. I don't recall what it was that broke the spell
    but one day as a teenager I just stopped watching . I think I started
    listening more to the radio . Top 40 at first but then talk shows . This was
    20 years ago so the talk shows were a little different than they are now.
    These talk stations all played a little Old Time Radio and one was airing the
    CBS Radio Mystery Theater.  This was my introduction to dramatic radio. I
    love this kind of radio . And  I keep my self so  busy with my various
    interests  that I  do not get enough time to listen  to very much of it
    anymore. As for television  I see even less of that. I don't care how good
    something on that tube is I am not going to just sit there for three hours
    staring at the darn thing . But the visual impact that Hal spoke of  is
    startling in the fact that  we have a whole nation of zombies who still watch
     TV in the way I once did. And there is nothing positive about that . They
    don't even have to know what is on that night but they know they are going to
    sit there for 4-7   hours that night regardless.  Radio never had that kind
    of impact. People  read more newspapers and books  during the days of radio
    ....and played bridge :  )  .
    What is even more of a worry is that when I was a child there were only a few
    stations and the TV networks  were pretty boring on Saturday Afternoons so I
    could be prompted to go out and play or find something else to do . In the
    21st century ,
    with all the channels and choices , these kids seem to be  watching all the
    time.
    I don't see the the trend as being a positive one.  I guess former TV addicts
    are like former smokers in the  hatred of their former addiction.
    I don't have any false ideas that radio will ever return to what  it once was
    and I do not want it to.  I would like  to see TV lose some if its prominence
     but  for reasons that have nothing to do with radio. However, Hal Stone
    seemed to indicate that radio drama had no place in the 21st century  because
     we now  have TV .  Perhaps then we do not need books either ?  Books also
    reach  a much more limited audience than  do TV  or the movies. We are not a
    nation that sits around each evening reading   and then talk about what we
    read  the next day around the office water cooler.  Far more people will know
    Harry Potter from the film rather than the books.
    However, the Harry Potter  books are truly enjoyed  and  appreciated by the
    smaller group who have taken the time to read them . The CBS Radio Mystery
    Theater achieved  5 million weekly listeners during its prime. While not
    anywhere near the size of an audience  of a typical  prime time TV show it is
    still quite a few people who were enjoying radio theater in the age of TV .
    Perhaps an even  larger audience could have been obtained  if  The Mystery
    Theater had been blessed with a higher budget to attract additional  writers.
     Looking back on radio's golden age I realize many of the old time shows
    could easily be done on TV today  and if I  were to do them today as a
    producer  I would do them on Television . But there are some  other shows
    that cannot be translated to TV  , the ones that were meant to be be radio
    shows . It is these type of shows  that beg for  radio . Sometimes the plots
    of the old time shows are dated and at times  silly but the audio  effects of
    the creaking door on Inner Sanctum , the train on the  Mysterious Traveler ,
    the Shadow's laugh   and the Lights Out gong   are simply thrilling and
    creepy . And its a more personal medium.  I know Arch Obler was talking
    directly to me  when he introduced that evening's Light's Out play.  Obler
    treated the listener as his "special"  guest  who had joined him that evening
    to partake in the exciting and the imaginitve.
    Jim French of Imagination Theater is doing the same today.
    While radio drama  will never be as it was let's not bury it all together.

    Hal Stone indicated his service in Newfoundland was during the Korean War
    and by then Newfoundland WAS Canada's newest province.

    Of course, many Americans were stationed there during WWII, so Hal was only
    continuing a tradition by valiantly defending the women of Newfoundland.

    Hi all!

    For those of you who took interest in the postings about the
    Rio 500 this past week, I'd like to let you know that I
    found a place on the net that still has them.  I actually
    ordered it over the phone, not via the net and the salesman
    that dealt with me said they still had quite a few left.  I
    paid $130 for the player plus $40 for an additional 64MB of
    memory, a rebate coupon for $50 will be included.

    This is my first purchase of an MP3 Player and it won't be
    delivered until later this week, so I can't comment about
    how well it will work nor if it's really the best player for
    our hobby.  For those of you that have interest in it and
    want to check it out before they are no longer available,
    here is the web site that I found:

    Not really but at a collectors' convention yesterday I learned that (1) the
    project has now finished and the staff resources dispersed and (2) the
    figures have been 'massaged' a bit.

    Several (many?) of the Tony Hancock comedy programmes recovered were not

    Of course, "ass" is a legitimate word for "donkey" which appears quite
    regularly in the Bible.

    When I first saw the complete English translation of the Ten Commandments,
    sometime around
    age 10, I got confused by the tenth commandment's mention of coveting thy
    neighbor's ass.  I
    knew the word, but I didn't know that it also meant donkey.

    Hi [removed] a matter of [removed] can be right on target with a connection
    between the Brooklyn Dodgers and OTR. As a matter of [removed] Bulls-Eye.

    How about a direct link between the Archie Andrews show, and "dose Bums".

    As most fans know, Charlie Mullen was the original Archie on NBC, but was
    drafted into the Army just after the war, in 1945. (That when Bob Hastings
    took over the part).

    After his Discharge, Charlie eventually had something to do with the
    Broadcasts of the Dodger games. I've got the details buried somewhere in my
    book notes piled up on my desk. I think perhaps as a representative of the
    sponsor, Lucky Strike Cigarettes. (A Brand of the American Tobacco Company).

    Do any of you know that my pal Charlie Mullen eventually went on to become
    the Big Kahuna of that company. Would you [removed] "Chairman of the Board

    Way to go "Archie".

    Brenly, went from Broadcasting to a World Series Championship. (So what if
    it was TV Broadcasting. It's still a distant cousin of OTR). Go D'Backs

    See! See what happens just because Jennifer flunked History 101. She
    mentioned (in error) that I was in Newfoundland, defending against
    "Japanese" bombers, so obviously Dave, you thought I had to have been
    stationed there during WW2. ( I was just a young tad then.)

    A little updated Hal Stone History from a friend from south of your border.

    Actually, Dave, I was stationed in Newfoundland during the Korean "Police
    Action" (Ha! what a misnomer). The Squadrons of the USAF 64th Air Division
    was setting up Early Warning Radar Sites throughout the frozen northland. As
    a matter of fact, Newfoundland had just become the 10th Province of Canada.

    See what you started [removed] your [removed] and write on the blackboard
    100 [removed]"I will not open my mouth ever again unless I know what the hell
    I'm talking about".

    And for what it's worth. JohnnyCanuck, I was in St. Johns, (The Capital of
    the New Province) which wasn't bad duty at all. It took a little getting
    used to a foreign language however. do you know what is meant [removed]"Stay
    where yer to, till I come where yer at"?  Eh?

    And out in the vast Tundra, we had an expression. "There's a girl behind
    every tree"

    THERE WERE NO DANG TREES AS FAR AS THE EYE COULD SEE!

    By the way, to keep this posting in line with the policy that we should be
    discussing [removed] you know that on a promontory that formed one side of
    the very narrow entrance to a very sheltered St. John's Harbor, stands the
    building from which Marconi sent the first transatlantic wireless
    [removed] letter "s" in Morse Code.

    Subject: More on radio wave "skipping"

    Just annother note on the radio wave "skipping" [removed]

    Back in the 70's and 80's when I was listening to radio much more than I do
    now I always got exited when every once in awhile I was strangely able to
    pick up FM stations from many hundreds of miles away.  In a previous posting
    I noted that I believed those skip events coincided with the occurence of
    meteor showers which the earth experiences several times a year.

    While watching CNN this morning they made note that the Leonid Meteor Shower
    is due to occur Nov 18 and is supposed to one of the most spectacular showers
    in many years.  If my theory is correct then there should be lots of FM radio
    skip on the 18th and it probably will affect VHF TV signals as well.

    If I'm [removed]'est la vie!

    Subject: Irma's Friend "Jane"

        In # 359 "lauriell" asked us if Cathy Lewis left the My Friend Irma
    radio show.
        According to John Dunning's great OTR reference book "On the [removed]",
    Joan Banks played Jane Stacy, Irma's friend/roommate, in about early 1949,
    while Cathy Lewis was ill.  So it appears that lauriell's tapes with Banks
    playing Jane were from about early '49. Cathy Lewis  returned to the show
    and stayed on for something like three more years, apparently.  (She was
    also on the TV version of My Friend Irma for a while.)

    Hal,
    Don't care whether you rant, rave, or provide the
    wonderful info you do, I just enjoy your input.  By the
    way, I was listening to several Archie Andrews shows
    that covered a number of years.  You apparently
    perfected your teenage voice as the years went by.  The
    first one I heard, about 1945 or 1946, during the
    opening (Relax Archie, Relax) you sounded like you were
    just too pooped to pop.  Anyway, I really enjoyed you on
    the show and look forward to your digest  inputs.
