[Here is the missing issue. I am aware of the sporatic missed isues
and am looking into alternatives to alieviate the problem.  I am also
in the process of negotiating a major relocation to a well-connected
local ISP where I can pursue many new avenues.  One such avenue is the
possibility of a 'reflected' version of OTR (seperate articles,
instead of a digest).  If that becomes a reality, you will have the
choice of seperate articles *OR* the current digest format.  Bill]

The description of an aircheck being a recording in which
the contents were abridged (records cut down) is an accurate
description of an audition tape. The object being to show
off the voice and style of the talent in question.
I'll let someone else hold forth on the origins of why
folks were called "talents".

  Clark Sinclair's Golden Memories of Australian Radio, according to the WWW
page of Wired Audio Ltd., will be a made-for-Internet show featuring classic
Australian OTR productions.  He's one of the foremost collectors of
Australian radio memorabilia and has hosted highly successful nostalgia
shows on several radio stations down under.
  The show is set to start some time this month, so here's where you can

in this digest before and it is easier than trying to search back
through two years of digest.

>From Louis Leciejewski:

Are there any audio tapes out from the 1945 World Series (Cubs vs Tigers) with
Bob Elson doing the announcing for play by play action? A friend of mine who
was in the Tigers Minor Leagues in the early 1950' s is looking for old audio
World Series broadcasts.

As everybody else, I was sadden to hear the death of George Burns.  I 
would like to thank the management and staff of YUSA for provide a 
fitting tribute to
George Burns & Gracie Allen, over the weekend.  I am just so glad that YUSA is
on the INTERNET.  It gives me a chance to hear my favorite performers 
of yesteryear, we have so very few remaining.  Again, thanks to YUSA, 
the Old-Time Radio Newsgroup and all those with WEB pages who promote 
the great radio performers of my youth.

There was a great Canadian satire called something like THE INVESTIGATOR or
THE INQUISITOR in the 1950s.  SPERDVAC has it in their Archives.  I think it

I stand [removed] Allen died in 1964.  She was in her late 50's
and George was in his late 60's.

Airchecks?  My experience when I worked in radio:  1) were for the benefit of
the advertisers to check the placement (actual broadcast) of their
commercials or in the case of live spots (how they sounded).
2) For the benefit of the sales manager, operations manager or program
director to get an unbiased (only if the announcer didn't know) sample of the
way the station or the announcer sounded.
One station I worked at changed formats, management and after we all did
airchecks, announcers.  The program director and I never hit it off, but he
was disappointed; the owner and the consultant wanted me to stay as long as I
was happy there.  As long as the airchecks sounded okay, I was [removed]

-- [ From: Jack Palmer * [removed] #[removed] ] --

Some notes to Randy regarding Toad Hall.
	I have visited Toad Hall regularly in my search for 78 RPM records. 
They have a little bit of everything so I'm sure they do have some 16"
transcriptions.  I've never checked on them since I was looking for old
78s.  Their brochure mentions dance band and jazz radio transcriptions
and radio memorabilia among many other tings. If you would like to
check on the transcritions their address is:  	Toad Hall
2106 Broadway
Rockford, IL  61104
	Or you can phone them at 815-226-1259 or 815-399-4644
They are open until 8 PM 7 days a week.  Hope this helps.   Jack
