Subject: Music used on Barrie Craig
X-Converted-To-Plain-Text: from multipart/alternative
X-Converted-To-Plain-Text: Alternative section used was text/plain
I am avid listener of the radio program Barrie Craig, B Confidential
Investigator, a program I first stumbled onto at age 14 on 1980.
Now, 34 years and thousands of hours of listening to the known to survive 59
episodes of 191 that were transcribed for broadcast over NBC later, I would
like to know if anyone knows the source of the music library used on the show
(many radio and tv shows in that period used the same music tracks) when it
was produced in New York from 1951 to 1954. B
As for the Hollywood run (1954 to 1955) ... some if the not all were used on
several radio and tv shows, most notably the first season of the Adventures
of Superman (I have a CD containing those tracks), I would not mind known the
other sources, but I primarily is interested in the music used in the New
York run.
Also a few important questions I am posing to you all, including and
especially those most knowledgeable and perhaps the unnamed and mysterious
anonymous keepers of many lost recordings thay may never see the light of
day. ..what is the name of the opening theme song used for most of its run
which includes the song played as Barrie Craig began to tell the story (it
eventually became the closing theme) and does other episodes exist? B B
This show meant so much to me and first to the Adventures of Sam Spade which
comes as a close second.
The love I have for the Barrie Craig series is tremendous. B B
Email me at rtjrrt@[removed] with the subject line "About Barrie Craig." B All
leads and data will be deeply [removed]
Thanking you all in advance

Subject: Do we REALLY need TV for all our news?
We cut the cord to cable and satellite TV . No more being trapped by
networks or by guilt not watching what is recorded. Our main source for news
is
newspapers and podcasts with a sprinkling of what is on line. What becomes
apparent is the lack of need for the visuals.
I grew up with radio news about WWII and Korea. We had the description
and, on occasion, the sounds that went along with the description of the
event. In listening to the Podcasts of CBS and PBS all the information comes
across with seeing the action. The visual is really eye candy. Often
bitter candy but eye candy never the less.
But what also struck be as surprising was that there was more of an
impression of what happened without the distractions of the visuals. A good
example was during the Egyptian riots. I didn't need to see anything. The
sounds told it all and the narrator was describing what was happening anyway.
What else is there to say?
TV news has all the blood and gore to cause rightness indignation but
little else to inform. About the only thing of note which would be missing
now would be the maps involving the search for the missing plane. We can
get that from the newspaper.
