Belanger asks:

DID  GRETA GARBO EVER DO ANY RADIO?

Not sure about that one but it did make me smile  when I remembered an old
Hollywood joke at the height of the quiz show HOLLYWOOD  SQUARES popularity.
    The joke went like this:
    "Something you'll never hear on HOLLYWOOD  [removed]
    "I'll take Greta Garbo to block."
    It still makes me smile.

Hi Everybody,

Peggy Taylor became a TV announcer in the Los Angeles area after her days
with stan Freberg.  I believe it was for NBC on channel  4.  I think she
spoke at a SPERDVAC meeting years a go.  Take  care,

Subject:  1951 Dragnet radio vs. tv

Hello, I noticed that
[removed]
has a ten-disc dvd set of Dragnet tv shows. These are from the 1951 season
it looks like at a quick glance. My question then is: since I already have
the radio series, are there episodes on the dvd set that I won't get from
the radio series? I understand that for most people, the experience of the
visual medium would be enough to get these if you're a fan, but as a blind
person, that won't matter, so the audio is my concern. If these are going to
be just visual and audio versions of what's already in the radio programs,
then I won't need this series. There are 42 shows on it, and you'll find the
listing under their box sets link.
Thanks a lot for any help.

In OTR Digest #207, George Tirebiter asks about Peggy Taylor.  I googled her
name and came up with the following at [removed]:

Posted: Tue., Feb. 19, 2002, 6:03pm PT

Peggy Taylor
Singer, TV actress, radio announcer

Peggy Taylor, who began her career as a radio singer in Chicago and Decca
recording artist and later worked as an actress as well as TV-radio
announcer, died Saturday at her home in Cambria. She was 74.

Born in Inglewood and raised in Pasadena, she graduated from [removed] Berkeley
in 1949, relocated to Chicago and got a job singing on the "Don McNeil
Breakfast Club" on radio station WGN. She stretched her career by becoming
the opening act for Red Skelton's show in Las Vegas and performing solo in
intimate club settings. A Decca Records artist, she sang in smart supper
clubs ranging from the Colony Club in London to the Fairmont in San
Francisco to the Coconut Grove in Los Angeles. She also performed at
numerous clubs in the Hollywood area.

Hope this helps.  Sounds like it could be the same Peggy Taylor.

Regards to all,

Art Funk

Subject:  Dorothy Kilgallen and Richard Kollmar

I was reading an article on the late Dorothy Kilgallen, who as you
know, was not only a gossip columnist but also a popular panelist on
the game show, "What's My Line?" The circumstances of her death are
still in debate, and there was an article on this in the April issue
of Vanity Fair.

I understand she and her husband, actor Richard Kollmar, had a
morning radio show 7 days a week that was broadcast on WOR from their
New York townhouse. It was called "Breakfast with Dorothy and Dick."

It surprised me to learn that Kollmar, who apparently committed
suicide in January 1971, had played "Boston Blackie" on radio for 10
years.

Of course I have heard a number of episodes of "Boston Blackie" on
such shows as "When Radio Was." But I was very surprised that Kollmar
was the actor who played the lead. I am wondering if he was the only
one to play that part, or were there others?

Also, I'd be curious to hear one of Dorothy and Dick's morning shows.
Does anybody know if any of these are on tape somewhere? They did
that show for years and it was very popular, so I'm hoping somebody
has copies of it I could obtain. Any help would be appreciated.

Subject:  About Peggy Taylor

 George Tirebiter's query about Peggy Taylor, the
singer on Stan Freberg's 1957 CBS radio show, sent me
to the search engines, looking for information about
her.

   There is more than one Peggy Taylor, and more than
one singer named Peggy Taylor, it turns out. But I
found references to a singer named Peggy Taylor who
lived from 1927 to 2002. Her obituary at [removed]
says her sang in Chicago on Don McNeil's Breakfast
Club program, performed as the opening act for Red
Skelton's Las Vegas show, and sang in supper clubs.
The Internet Movie Database ([removed]) gives her one
movie credit --- singing in a 1949 musical short with
Ted Fio Rito's orchestra.

   I can't find anything directly linking this Peggy
Taylor with the Peggy Taylor of Stan Freberg's radio
show, but maybe I just haven't looked hard enough.

Almanacker Joe Mackey posted in his weekly "This Week in Radio History"
feature:

 From Those Were The Days --

7/30

1937 - The American Federation of Radio Artists (AFRA) was organized. It
was part of the American Federation of Labor. The union was for all
radio performers except musicians. The union later became The American
Federation of Television and Radio Artists (AFTRA) to include TV folk,
as well.

I know I posted the following two years ago, but I thought it bears repeating,
especially for the benefit of newer subscribers. Venerable radio voiceman
Jackson Beck died two years ago this past week and was laid to rest on
07/30/20004, the 67th anniversary of the founding of AFRA, an organisation
Jackson was influential in founding.

His AF(T)RA card numer was "2."

The latest "Golden Age of Radio" programs with Dick Bertel
and Ed Corcoran, and "A One Night Stand with the Big Bands"
with Arnold Dean can be heard at [removed].

Each week we feature three complete shows in MP3 format
for your listening pleasure or for downloading; two "Golden
Age of Radios" and one "One Night Stand." We present new
shows every week or so. The current three programs will be
available on line at least until the morning of August 9, 2006.

Program 64 - July, 1975 - Mel Allen

One of the first great American sportscasters, Mel Allen was
the "Voice of the New York Yankees" baseball team, from
1939 to 1964. In 1978, he and fellow sportscaster Red Barber
were the first to be honored with the Ford Frick Award, Major
League Baseball's Hall of Fame recognition for broadcasters.

Allen was born on February 14, 1913, in Birmingham, Alabama.
He was educated as a lawyer. He broadcast New York Giant
baseball games from 1939 to 1943, 20 World Series, 24 All-
Star baseball games, and a season of Cleveland Indians baseball
games (1968); as well as 14 Rose Bowl games, two Orange
Bowls, two Sugar Bowls, and countless other major sporting
events.

A winner of numerous industry, listener and viewer awards,
Allen was elected to the National (USA) Sportswriters and
Broadcasters Hall of Fame, in March, 1972. In 1985, Allen
was inducted into the American Sportscasters Hall of Fame.

Program 65 - August, 1975 - Don MacLaughlin

Don MacLaughlin played the part of David Harding on the
famous radio drama "Counterspy." Counterspy was an
espionage drama radio series that aired on ABC and Mutual
from May 18, 1942 to November 29, 1957. David Harding
was the chief of the United States Counterspies, a unit engaged
during WWII in counterespionage against Japan's Black Dragon
and Germany's Gestapo. With spies still lurking in the post-war
years, the adventures continued apace well after WWII.

"A One Night Stand with the Big Bands" with Arnold Dean

November, 1972 - Johnny Desmond

Johnny Desmond (November 14, 1919-September 6, 1985)
was an American popular singer. He was born Giovanni
Alfredo De Simone in Detroit, Michigan. As a boy, he sang
on a local radio station, but at age 15 he quit to work at his
father's grocery. He still retained a love of music, however,
and went to the Detroit Conservatory of Music briefly
before heading to the night club circuit, playing piano and
singing.

It should be noted that in the 1940s and 1950s, many artists
would record the same song at about the same time, and some
of the songs mentioned as chart hits for Desmond were also
major hits for other singers. Thus "Guilty" (#12 for Desmond)
was an even bigger hit for Margaret Whiting, with a #4 position.
"Because of You" (#17 for Desmond) was a #1 hit for Tony
Bennett. And the Desmond/Dale/Cornell version of "Heart of
My Heart" reached #10, but the Four Aces' version peaked at #7
on the charts. Read more at our website.

(From Wikipedia)

In the 1970's WTIC decided that there was a market in
the evening for long-form shows that could be packaged
and sold to sponsors. Two of those shows were "The
Golden Age of Radio" and "A One Night Stand with the
Big Bands."

Dick Bertel had interviewed radio collector-historian
Ed Corcoran several times on his radio and TV shows,
and thought a regular monthly show featuring interviews
with actors, writers, producers, engineers and musicians
from radio's early days might be interesting. "The Golden
Age of Radio" was first broadcast in April, 1970; Ed was
Dick's co-host. It lasted seven years. "The Golden Age
of Radio" can also be heard Saturday nights on Walden
Hughes's program on Radio Yesteryear.

Arnold Dean began his love affair with the big band
era in his pre-teen years and his decision to study
the clarinet was inspired by the style of Artie Shaw.
When he joined WTIC in 1965 he hosted a daily program
of big band music. In 1971, encouraged by the success
of his daily program and "The Golden Age of Radio"
series, he began monthly shows featuring interviews
with the band leaders, sidemen, agents, jazz reporters,
etc. who made major contributions to one of the great
eras of music history.

Subject:  MP3

OK, so now I have four CD-sized discs with old radio shows in MP3 format.
What do I do with them?  They will run on my DVD player and on my computer,
but neither one of them are very portable.

I have been searching for a boombox-style device and have come across some
disturbing information.  I am told (maybe not reliably) that some of those
boomboxes may not play ALL of the MP3 tracks on the disc.  Some only go up
to 50 or 60.  I have twice that number of tracks.

Does anyone here have the real scoop on these things?  I want a single unit
that is portable and that will play all of the tracks on an MP3 disc without
any further ado.

I can't believe I have a 3-disc set with over 350 Christmas radio shows.
When will I ever find time to listen them?  :)
