Subject:  Re: Stealing logs

Several years ago when I had the website "The Unofficial Fibber McGee
and Molly Home Page"
I went to the Wisconsin Archives to get copies of scripts.  I copied
more than 400 pages at 25
cents a page, I then transcribed several scripts and encoded them to
html, and then I published
the scripts on my website for anyone who was interested to download for
their use.

Imagine how I felt when I saw the scripts being offered on ebay.  A
vendor had downloaded
my work and he put them up for auction.  I, and several of my regular
visitors contacted the
vendor to complain.  He did remove the scripts from auction.

It's silly to expect to receive never ending attribution

...And if you're talking about single, isolated episodes, and
single, isolated air dates, you are correct.

But if you're talking about lifting someone else's hard work
in gathering a massive mountain of data into one huge database,
and posting THAT, without asking and often without credit --
well, it's YOU who are silly, to think that both permission
and credit aren't due to the researcher/publisher!

Subject:  Stealing the Work of Others

My feelings on this topic are simple and basic. Those that steal the
work of others are nothing less than Pond Scum. One solution, in part
to the problem (Laura and Martin and others) name names. It will shoot
down the creditability of the thieves and we who are members of the OTR
community can then boycott and shun the miscreants.

X-Converted-To-Plain-Text: Alternative section used was text/plain

Through the past efforts of great radio historians like  Jim Harmon , Ron
Lackman,  Bill Owen, Frank Buxton and John Dunning, a rich kaleidoscope of
radio history first began to emerge. This proud tradition continues with the
often heroic efforts of  researchers , writers & historians like Jay
Hickerson , Elizabeth McLeod , Jim Cox, Terry Salomonson , Jack French ,
Martin Grams , Neal Ellis , Ken Stockinger and so many others. Because of
their intensive quests, it  often seems like hardy a month goes by without
some exciting detail,   newly unearthed broadcasts , or groundbreaking
research being added to our still evolving  chapters of Old Time Radio
history.

Yet despite all of this well-chronicled history, it appears that there's an
often overlooked sub-chapter. A missing link of sorts : Local Radio history .
Of course , some local radio is obviously  more interesting  than others.
from the earliest days of broadcasting, local radio has had a shaping impact
on the industry and ultimately  its' history. KDKA , WSM, WWJ ,WGN , KCBS,
WJZ , WOR , WRC, WNYC,  WBZ, KGU , and WXYZ are just a few of the local
stations that stand out in both history and our minds. Freeman Gosden and
Charles Correll  launched their iconic radio partnership at the local level
in Chicago. As did Jim & Marian Jordan. Other successful talents  who emerged
from local radio include Arthur Godfrey, Jack Webb , Bob & Ray, Steve Allen,
Dave Garroway, Mike Wallace , Willard Scott , Johnny Carson and Chet Huntley.
This list could clearly go on-and-on! Other endless lists would include the
many great local DJs and sports announcers.
On a nostalgic note, in the mid-1960s - 1970s many local stations began
playing re-runs of OTR classics like Sherlock Holmes, Dragnet, The Lone
Ranger ,The Green Hornet ,The Shadow and Jack Benny. For those listeners not
around for the Golden Age  this marked the start of a new passion. Thus
another debt we owe to local radio!
In this simplistic overview, it's clear that local radio has long mattered .
It too is worthy of renewed study.
Toward this end, the Albemarle
Charlottesville Historical Society, based in Charlottesville Virginia , is
presently featuring a fascinating exhibit:  Charlottesville Broadcasting in
the Golden Age of Radio.

This exhibit, which runs until mid-May, documents Charlottesville's
broadcasting experiences during
the golden age of radio, the period when radio reached its peak
popularity in the 1930s and 1940s and  the early 1950s until TV rapidly became
king & the consuming media of our lives.

Featuring a treasure- trove of long-lost artifacts, photos and some truly
amazing behind-the scenes stories , this exhibits brings this long- ago radio
era back to life! Topics covered include;   the 1934 integration of
Charlottesville radio, Big Band remotes , and the truly unique
personalities  and live programing that could only be generated via local
radio of this pioneering period.

For additional information , call the Historical Society at (434) 296-1492 or
visit their web site at [removed]

Located in the shadows of the Blue Ridge Mountains , Charlottesville  is home
to the Univ. of VA , Jefferson's Monticello , many, many fine wineries ,
North America's most charming Downtown district, several first-rate used-book
stores and tons of colorful American history! Charlottesville would be an
easy day trip or weekend get-away for  Digest readers   living  in the DC /
Maryland / northern VA & Richmond VA  areas ... I will even meet you for
lunch!

Thank you!
Baughan

I'm looking for radio-related suggestions to add to my summer vacation
itinerary. The wife and I will basically be making a triangle route from
Kansas City to Dallas to Shreveport back to KC. The only stop I could think
of off the top of my head was Pine Ridge but that's well off the western Ark.
route we're eyeing. Would it be worth a 4-6 hour detour? Thanks for any ideas
you might offer.

through OTR should write a book.

Is the issue here really about "seeking immortality"?  I don't think so.  I
think the issue is largely that people take time off work, fly to university
libraries, pay for thousands of copies, pay for hotel rooms etc, only to have
all of the info put on the internet for free without so much as a statement
saying "Here's where we got this info from.  They published a book about it.
Here's where you can buy it".  Really, not giving the person credit is just
going to weaken the market for the book regardless.  Elizabeth's situation is
not a unique circumstance.

There will always be a group of people who are willing to pay for a physical
copy of the book.  But increasingly the hobby is full of people who are
totally content to get everything for free from the internet, even if it's
not as good as what you pay for, and that's the greater problem (and a
subject for another day, that's not likely to get resolved.  Just ask the
RIAA).

Subject:  OTR & "The Odd Couple"

Hi Gang:

I'm looking for a copy of a TV episode of "The Odd Couple," which celebrated
the OTR hobby by having Felix (Tony Randall) and Oscar (Jack Klugman) appear
in a retro radio dramatization of the (probably apocryphal) tale of Babe Ruth
promising to hit a home-run for a sick hospitalized boy. Said episode was
written by OTR historian Frank Buxton, and like Buxton's celebrated OTR
reference work, is also titled "The Big Broadcast."

If anybody can assist in setting me up with a copy of "The Odd Couple: The
Big Broadcast," please contact me off-list.

Thanks from the ether,

Derek Tague

Subject:  OTR & AA

It's great being able to pick up OTR broadcasts every night here in the NYC
market from CHML, 900AM in Hamilton, Ontario. The other night, I heard a
"Lone Ranger" episode which featured historical figures Wild Bill Hickok and
Calamity in the narrative. At one point, the Ranger refers to himself as a
"friend of Bill's," which to another generation and in another context can
also signify someone being a recovering alcoholic, [removed] a follower of
Alcoholics Annonymous co-founder Bill Wilson.

Most AA members can trace the history of AA to Akron in 1935 and attribute an
article about it by John Armstrong for the "Saturday Evening Post" in the
early 1940s towards giving it widespread cachet and acceptance. However, I'd
like to know if there were ever any references and/or jokes about AA & its
twelve steps on popular radio programmes, especially after the "Saturday
Evening Post" article's appearance.

Students?

Still recovering in the ether,

But, instead, I'll write this:

One of the most amazing pieces of video I've ever seen was from a
backyard barbecue party, a few years ago, where folks were also watching
old television clips, on a large monitor.
Suddenly, the camera showed Soupy Sales, watching, sitting with friends,
an old episode of HOWDY DOODY.

It was sort of a surrealism beyond surrealism, watching, on tape, one
kids TV icon, watching, and being entertained, by [removed]

There's a certain kind of surprising pleasure to such things.

Which leads me to the the odd serendipity last weekend, when I first
learned that the Soupy Sales special (SOUPY SALES THE GANGS ALL HERE)
would be on Channel 21, Saturday, while reading Mark Evanier's News From
Me website.

Within minutes, I had been editing an old transcript of an interview I
once did--a long time ago--with Clayton Moore, famous, of course, for
portraying the Lone Ranger. We were talking about kids television of the
l960s, and I had forgotten this exchange, when I mentioned Soupy Sales:

CLAYTON MOORE: I love him! I love Soupy Sales!

JIM: I grew up watching his show.

CLAYTON MOORE: Now, there's a real good, clean comedian.

JIM: I presume that you've met him, then.

CLAYTON MOORE: Quite some time ago. I did a show called WHAT'S MY LINE,
and he was on the panel. As a matter of fact, he's a buff on Lone Ranger
trivia.

JIM: He is a funny man.

CLAYTON MOORE: Yeah, very good, and just as importantly, a gentleman
along with it.

Now, who out there is going to argue with the masked rider for justice
(as we all recall, and have our own personal, "thrilling days of
yesteryear")!
