Thursday Night - Old Time Radio

This week, I shall be playing two versions of Gun Smoke’s program: “Chester’s Dilemma.”

Hello Old-Time-Radio Fans,
I return exhausted but also very elated over the outstanding REPS ShowCase Convention
we attended in Seattle this past weekend.
This was REPS 18th convention. Yes, the Radio enthusiasts of Puget Sound truly did
an outstanding job. During our hour chat session, Ruth Ann and I shall present you
with a Convention Report.
July 1 is Canada Day for our good friends north of us. With this in Mind, Devon Wilkins
will be our host. She will play Mrs. Mike, the story of a Mountie who marries and
takes his wife to the far north. I’ll also bet that Devon will give us some history
regarding Canada day.

A tribute to Hyman Brown.

1. December Bride in Oscar has an Eye for Lilly
2. Family Theater in All Brides are Beautiful.
As an afterthought, I have a short program to finish out the hour called Strange
Adventures. This episode is called, The Phantom Bride.

A Tribute to Art Linkletter

Joy jackson Tells us about the Cincinnati OTR Convention Report.

John Beaulieu
We have from the program “Let George Do It,” “The Unfit Mother,” and another great program that ran simultaneously on radio and TV called “My Little Margie,” entitled: “Vern has 30 days to live.”

Kelly sapergia played tales of the Texas Rangers, “Playing for keeps.” Drag Net”The Big Fake.”

In this week’s audio community room we pay a tribute to ernie harwell, a sports icon and the baseball radio announcer for the Detroit Tigers for 42 years. Ernie passed away at the age of 92. We also played “The Fall of the house of usher.”

Joy Jackson indtroduces us to a wealthy man about town who leads a double life, fighting injustice. Is it Batman? Superman? Zorro? No, but the character that inspired all the super-heroes: The Scarlet Pimpernel. After that we ride with the greatest pirate of them all in Afloat with Henry Morgan.
Also played in the chatroom that night:
Joy read a couple of pages from Over Periscope Pond by Esther Sayles Root and Marjorie Crocker, having to do with soldiers blinded in world war I.
Dave McElroy played his dad’s v-disk from Jan 1945 recorded in Hawaii
Dave also shared a version of Remember Radio adapted and sung by some British artists, played on Fred Fielding’s show on the BBC. If anyone has the full copy of that version of the song, please let him know.

Bob’s Birthday hosted by Rotten Rick Spurgeon
This week “Rotten Rick Spurgeon” was our host. let us see what he will be playing.
At this point I’m supposed to tell you what to look forward to as Rotten Rick takes to cyberspace for yet another assault on your ears. But this time I just aint gonna do it. We will all be surprised together. Oh, all right, I guess I’m obliged to give you a hint. If you think carefully about why this presentation would be a surprise, you’ll probably even have a fighting chance at guessing its content. Join me and see how well developed are your powers of deductive reasoning. Bob has given you a few clues in the past weeks.
