    The publication of a list to a heretofore little-known collection of captured
    Nazi recordings should require no elaborate justification. Serious historical
    inquiry and unflagging popular interest virtually guarantee that nazism and
    the Third Reich will be ever topical and relevant. Similarly, both the public
    and the scholarly community readily agree that recorded oral history provides
    us with a unique historical perspective on our times. Thus the combination of
    an important historical subject and a fruitful form of source material should,
    in itself, be sufficient reason to produce such a list, provided that the
    material in the collection is historically significant and does not simply
    duplicate what is already available elsewhere.

        Just wanna thank the people who replied to my question about what went
    on during the Pepsodent commercials (and others) during the broadcasts that
    was making the audience laugh.

          -Hi:

          Vic and Sade's theme song (in later years) was a beautiful composition
    written by Franz Liszt (so I'm told) entitled "Chanson Bohemmiene".  It bears
    an uncanny
          likeness to Jan Peerce's (and Jimmy Durante's) "Bluebird of Happiness".
    I wonder if anyone else shares my thought.  Either way it was a perfect theme
    for V & S. --

    Yes, he did and I showed up.  I'd only found out about it a few days before
    but joined the rest of the crowd for an enjoyable couple of hours.  As a 54
    year old it was nice to be the young kid at an event for a change.  He was
    well received and I thought that the mix of original TV and radio content
    worked well in the show.  Since I was sitting in back I was one of the first
    to reach the lobby and was surprised to find Eddie already there ready to
    greet his fans.  I did get to talk to him for a moment and found him very
    warm and friendly.

    Subject:  Why the Chimes Rang

    Around this time of year, many people trot out their
    lists of favorite old time radio Christmas shows. I
    would like to recommend one that may not be on
    everyone's list: "Why the Chimes Rang" on "The Great
    Gildersleeve." Whether you listen to the Harold Peary
    version (Dec. 14, 1949)  or the Willard Waterman
    version (Dec. 20, 1950 or Dec. 19, 1951), you may well
    be moved by this touching take.

    Apparently, Moe was also a Hawaiian musician and singer. I have a one hour
    radio show from last June where Moe was the topic. It concentrates mostly on
    his musical talents but also gives some history of the man. The MC of the
    show, Harry B. Soria, Jr knew the man personally.

    This is a very good show.
    It is hosted on [removed] <[removed];  and a new
    streaming show comes out every Friday, focusing on the history of Hawaiian
    music.

    I have uploaded this show to mediamax (used to be streamload) and if
    you would like a copy of this show just send a request to stevendom.

    i missed the original  posting on this
    so i am not sure this is relevant to the topic
    but
    in  1978  radiola sold  "a cross section of broadcasts originated by  germany
    and nazi sympathizers during the second world war."

    my two record  set includes a speech by hitler, a bund rally in new york
    city, popular american  music from berlin, propaganda from lord haw haw and
    axis
    sally and paul revere  (douglas chandler), as well as a speech by robert best
    of south  carolina.    the title is "hitler on the air! a study in audible
    evil".

    It's always sad when we in the hobby lose a great dealer.  I don't know why Mr. Davenport is quitting, but
    let's not forget that the cassette format is dying.  It may not have as much to do with "people wanting
    something for nothing" as you might think.
    Cassettes were a great way to carry around and store our beloved OTR shows.  Were is the thing, though.
    Tape is getting more scarce, It'll probably get more expensive, and a good quality MP3 is sonicly better
    than a fluttery old cassette and a machine that is going to get harder and harder to get parts for.
    Formats come and go so "getting something for nothing" may not be the total reason for Radio Memories
    leaving the business.  CDR blanks are better quality and much cheaper than cassettes and like I said the
    cassette is a dying media.
    Add to that the popularity of MP3 players and you can see that financially the market is changing and it
    could be for the better.  I hate the crappy encoded MP3's out there, but if it was done correctly You'd have
    better quality products than our dearly departing cassetts.
