    ADMINISTRIVIA:

    (*sigh*) We're clearly losing the war on spam. If it's any
    consolation, the server is rejecting hundreds of spam emails
    every day, but the lists, the forums, and any other form on
    the server is being hammered day in and day out.
    
    Know that I'm doing the best that I can to keep out the kruft
    while allowing legitimate posts. The last issue was rejected by
    large numbers of systems because of the spam; I have replaced
    the copy in the archives with one missing that garbage, so if
    you retrieve issue #339 from the archive server, it should be
    clean.

    I'll post more on the spam issue on the Nostalgic Rumblings

Subject:  Just like radio

Saturday evening we were flipping through the TV channels and caught part of
a PBS presentation called "Great Presentations" featuring two-plus-hours of
"South Pacific."  It starred Reba McEntire, Alec Baldwin and others.  But it
wasn't done the way we saw it in the movies or on stage.

While there was a full orchestra behind them, the cast held scripts of the
narrative, from which they read before a large throng dressed in formal wear
in a concert hall.  The cast was sometimes so attired, too, while at other
times various performers appeared on stage at their microphones in full
costume regalia.  It was mind-boggling.  And when the familiar songs
began -- "Some Enchanted Evening," "Bali Hai," "Gonna Wash Dat Man Right
Outta My Hair," "This Nearly Was Mine," et al. -- the well trained vocalists
in the cast did the honors.  The voices were so similar to the 1950s film
that I could close my eyes and hear the original reflected.  Sometimes --
between their lines -- performers would sit down in a chair onstage, then on
cue get up and stand before a mic again, script in hand.

At some point, my wife exclaimed, "It's just like radio!"  Shades of Lux
Radio Theater came to my mind.  What a concept if we could only have fare
like this regularly!

The recording can be found as the first track on the first disc of the
two-CD collection entitled "Dr. Demento 20th Anniversary Collection." Though
the track listing inexplicably omits Backus's name, the liner notes include
it, as well as the following background information:

"Another veteran of screens big and small was JIM BACKUS, who was the voice
of nearsighted 'toon Mr. Magoo and then played Thurston Howell III on
_Gilligan's Island_. He too made a film with James Dean--he's Dean's dad in
_Rebel Without a Cause_. Backus made only a handful of records, but
'Delicious!' with his Magoo voice is definitely a keeper. Anyone know who
the woman is? (It's not Phyllis Diller)."

What, no mention of The Alan Young Show, The Bill Goodwin Show, Casey, Crime
Photographer, The Great Gildersleeve, The Great Talent Hunt, The Man from
Homicide, Matinee at Meadowbrook, The Penny Singleton Show, and The Sad
Sack?
