Not exactly OTR, but this week a friend brought be an old 78 he'd found in a
relatives attic. It was recorded May, 1943 at an Army boot Camp in Texas by
a young medic just before he left for Europe where he was killed.

Does it by chance indicate which boot camp in Texas?

I would imagine there are many. There were outdoor and arcade
recording booths for making your own record that were about the size
of a phone booth or slightly larger. They made smallish 78 RPM
records for a quarter or so. I have one recorded by myself and a
friend at an amusement park when we were teenagers fifty years ago.

I'm trying to find the name of a song I think Bing Crosby  sang.  It was
an Irish song and Allan Sherman made a parody record of  it in the 1960s

This song was done by Dennis Day on the Benny show around March 17 several
times - it's going through my  head, but not the title.

Shake hands with your Uncle Mike, my boy,
And there's your  sister Kate.
And  there's the girl you used to kiss
Down by the garden gate . . .

Happy Saint Patrick's Day!

Art Linkletter-Right Winger

Actually if you read his books and have followed his career over the years,
Art Linkletter is a very modest "right winger". He published a small
autobiography in 1980 that was far from a fire breather that one may think
of when using the phrase "right winger". He did come out as an anti-drug
advocate (though far less than a zealot, as anyone who has heard him speak
or has read him on the subject knows) and the record "We Love You, Call
Collect" was recorded BEFORE his daughter's Diane's tragic death in 1969,
and was not a response to it (the single was re-released in November 1969
after Diane's death). In fact, if memory serves, the "B" side of the record
"Dear Mom and Dad" was Diane's response to what was more of a commentary of
the "hippie" lifestyle, than an anti-drug screed.

He remains, for me, one of the most gentle and affable of broadcasters.
He'll be 97 in July!

 From Those Were The Days --

3/17

1933   Comedian Phil Baker was heard on network radio for the first time
on a regular basis when The Armour Jester was heard on the Blue network.
Baker rapidly rose to the top of the radio ratings.

3/18

1940   Light of the World was first heard on NBC. The soap opera was
unique in that it featured the Bible as the center of the story line.

3/21

1925   The voice of Lowell Thomas was first heard on radio. Thomas was
heard talking about "Man's first flight around the world", on KDKA in
Pittsburgh, PA.

I sell a line of plastics,
And I travel on the road.

Every night a strange hotel,
A strange cafe, and then,
I bundle up my suitcase and I'm on the road again.

And I'm at my journey's end;
That's the only time I see
My family and my friends.

And you remember the Tischman twins:
Gerald and Jerome.
We all came out to meet you, and to wish you welcome home!

And from there it goes on at a frenetic pace listing names.

Subject:  Doris Singleton [removed] Lux's "Libby Collins"

I had a couple of interesting phone conversations today. One was with
Doris Singleton, about her upcoming appearance in the Saturday, May 1
re-creation of "The Lux Radio Theatre: Casablanca" at the 2009
SPERDVAC OTR Convention. Doris will be playing Lux's fictional
Hollywood correspondent, "Libby Collins," the same role she played on
the original Lux broadcasts for years in the 1940s.  What I didn't
know was the unorthodox method Lux used to cast "Libby."

Doris explained that she auditioned for the part along with a lot of
other actresses, and then transcription discs of all the auditions
were sent back to the corporate headquarters of the sponsor, Lever
Bros. (makers Lux Soap). Lever Bros. actually held an "election" of
sorts: all the Lever Bros. employees got to listen to the auditions
and vote for the "Libby" they liked the best. Doris won, and that's
how she got the part!

FYI, a complete schedule of the 2009 SPERDVAC OTR Convention is now

Good thing I read today's Digest.  I'm going to really miss the old place;
it had a perfect location.  I've never been to the new place, but if it's
the same Lexington Hotel that came up on google, it's Exit 42A on
i-275.    I guess it isn't that far away from the old one, since the old
one was Exit 41.

I look forward to seeing everybody.  It'll be nice to put aside everything
that's going on, and for a weekend have a really good time, with a really
great bunch of people.

See you there,

Subject:  portable recording systems

Birdman of Alcatraz was made in 1962. I know that in 1964 I was using
a Nagra tape recorder for recording the sound for my feature film.
According to a web site, the recorder was invented in 1957. It is a
small 1/4"  battery operated recorder that was used in the making of
almost every motion picture and industrial film until it was replaced
by it's current digital system.

In 1960 something, I remember visiting one of the major studios and
noticed that they were still recording on the magnetic tape system.
When I asked why they were not using a Nagra, they told me that when
they were on a sound stage, it was easier to just use the older
system, but in the field they would use a more portable system.

So, although it is possible that the sound might have been dubbed for
the scene in question, the reason is probably not due to the size of
the equipment. More likely due to the sound level of the ambient sound.
