Great news on ILAM.  I would be willing to pre-buy more than one  serial,
like you can pre-buy a book on Amazon.

In issue #84 of the digest, Martin Grams  asked who was putting on the OTR
presentations at the WWII Weekend at the  Reading Airport, and what the
show would be.  Well ... as I remember,  these are put on by radio station
WEEU,  34 North Fourth Street,  Reading, PA 19601.  As far as the programs
go, they are numerous and  are running most of the day, along with WWII
newscasts.

Martin is  welcome to contact me off-line, if he wants,  at
wilditralian@[removed].

Regards,

Jim Arva

Subject:  Free Food at the  Hotel

A couple weeks ago I had a sit-down with the hotel in Aberdeen,  Maryland
and
they were kind enough to offer a special for the Mid-Atlantic  Nostalgia
Convention.

Anyone who plans to book their room at the  Clarion Hotel where the
convention
is held, receives a $25 free food  voucher PER DAY for EVERY night they stay
at the hotel. Considering all  guests of the hotel receive complimentary
buffet breakfast, this pretty  much means most if not all of your meals will
be covered. Obviously, the  food voucher is not good for the buffet dinner
banquet on Saturday  night.

Anyone who has not booked their room at the Clarion Hotel for  MANC yet may
want to consider doing so now. There is no expiration date for  this offer
and
they can withdraw it at anytime so do not delay. If you plan  to stay the
whole weekend (three nights means $75 for the  weekend)!

The dates of The Mid-Atlantic Nostalgia Convention are August  27, 28 and 2
9,
2009. The Clarion Hotel, Aberdeen, Maryland.
[removed]
410-273-6300
Be sure to mention you are  attending the Nostalgia Convention so you can
get
the convention discount  price.

Old-Time Radio Recreations, OTR vendors, and OTR movies are  among the
highlights. The Drive-In Movie Theater on Friday night is on  schedule with
a
Thursday evening raindate since the dinner banquet is  Saturday night.
Guests include: Bob Hastings (Archie Andrews, The Shadow,  X-Minus One, TV's
McHale's Navy), Lee Meriwether (Batman, Time Tunnel,  Barnaby Jones, Miss
America of 1955), Celeste Holm (she needs no  introduction to her screen,
stage, TV and radio work), James Best  (Forbidden Planet, Gunsmoke, Dukes of
Hazzard), Johnny Whitaker (Family  Affair, Tom Sawyer), Diana Sowle (Willy
Wonka and the Chocolate Factory),  Patty McCormack (The Bad Seed, Cavalcade
of
America, Tom Corbett, I  Remember Mama, The Sopranos -- and she'll recreate
her 1956 role in the  SUSPENSE episode "The Doll") are among the guests
confirmed to  date.

A friend from Columbia SC tells me that WIS has changed  its call call
letters,
forced to do so because the FCC won't let new owners  of a radio station
keep
its old three letter calls. Anybody know if this is  true?

Subject:  new I Love A  Mystery

GOOD NEWS!

I Love A Mystery is making a comeback! It's  official now. Tim Knofler and a
number of talented performers will be  recreating all of the I LOVE A
MYSTERY
radio serials, to be released  commercially on CD. Authorized through the
Carlton E. Morse estate, each  serial will be complete, uncut and unedited.
The original Hollywood run of  scripts will be used to recreate every word,
every sound effect and music  cue.

Tim acknowledged (to my delight) that they will not be censored  which means
when you hear "The Widow with the Amputation" and Jack and Doc  are stranded
on the island defending the old lady by knifing enemy soldiers  (yep, World
War II propaganda), there will be no censorship regarding the  slang that
was
prominent in the serial.

The official web-site will  be [removed] and while it's not
up
yet, you can bookmark it  for a return visit. One site you can check out in
the meantime is  [removed]

Under contract, the very first serial  commercially soon-to-be released will
be a "make it or break it"  proposition. If the first release sells beyond
expectations, they will be  granted permission to reproduce ALL of them. And
this is the only  stipulation so when it becomes available, buy one for your
friend and for  yourself. Soon as I get more information including who is
going to play the  cast I'll pass it  on.

Subject:  Shoot to  kill!

Somewhere in the back of my wee little brain I thought that most  of the
children's cowboy heroes such as the Lone Ranger, Roy Rogers, Gene  Autry,
Hopalong Cassidy and maybe others, had a policy of never shooting to  kill,
just slightly injure.  Anyone know where I got that idea  from?

I mention it because I have been listening to several Hopalong  Cassidy
episodes of late and there are several where Hoppy has clearly  "done in" a
bad guy.

Also, in listening to these Hoppy shows, I am  beginning to think that maybe
later in the run of the series he changed  from being a kids show to a more
adult themed program.  Or is that  perception wrong,  too?

Subject:  Guest Star fake out

I was  listening to a 1947 Arthur Godfrey Show.  He was apparently giving
out
some Esquire "oscar" awards to some celebrities.  One of the  recipients was
Billie Holiday. With previous guests, Arthur had greeted  them and they
said a
few words back.  When it was Billie's turn, he  introduced her,talked 'at'
her
a bit, then had her sing.

After the  song, he thanked her.  She never said a word.  During her song,
it
seemed I heard an increase in record hiss and felt that she hadn't  really
been there, but they'd faked her 'appearance', and just popped on a
recording
of her song.

Anyone know if this kind of faked appearance  was a common practice, or, am
I
imaging things?

Subject:  Re: Hindenburg  Disaster

Larry Groebe asked:

The calendar entry regarding  the anniversary of Herb Morrison's
broadcast of the Hindenburg landing  reminds of a question I've been
wanting to pose about the  >broadcast: how much of it was scripted? Not
the crash - of course  not that. But his talk up until that point -- was
Morrison a fabulous  ad-libber, or did he have a >script either in whole
or in  part?

As Larry's question inferred, doing an on-the-spot  report might
combine scripted and ad-lib material.  In the case of  Herb Morrison and
the Hindenburg report I once asked my friend Herb if he  was using a
script and he said he wasn't.
Herb Morrison  was a licensed pilot who had worked for an aircraft
manufacturer before  going into radio.  He could speak easily about
aviation matters.   Prior to going to Lakehurst he thoroughly researched
the subject of  dirigibles and lighter-than-air transportation, including
safety factors,  which he did mention prior to the explosion.  I don't
believe he kept  any notes or other source material.
Viewing the explosion and  fire could leave some people speechless,
but Herb told me that he did bear  in mind one of the rules of radio: no
matter what happens, keep  talking.

Subject:  SPERDVAC Pictures  Update

I sent a URL for my SPERDVAC photos to the list yesterday and it  was in
this
morning's digest (or last night's, not sure).

In any  case, I also just found out that Kodak is requiring its users to
actually  buy something in exchange for hosting photos online and that I'm
going to  be kicked off the system on May 11.  This is of course perfectly
fair  and I'm not complaining but I also don't need prints of any of those
photos  right now so I'll probably go back to storing my photos locally.

So  this is just a warning to anyone who was hoping to purchase any of
those
shots for their personal use -- hurry.

You may resume your  normal OTR conversations,
