Default Email from Ed Bolton (Amos-n-Andy)


I've been deeply touched by your letter.
Thank you sincerely for your kind words about my self-appointed task of
re-creating these classic "Amos 'n' Andy" programs which, although they were
listened to by the whole country when they were originally on the air, were
never recorded!
I've been doing these programs that began on March 19th, 1928 and am now up to
episode number 1,666, and I intend to keep on doing them as long as the Good
Lord gives the me the breath and energy to keep on doing them!
I've read your letter, which will be on WBCQ's program on Wednesday, May 12th
(actually, it's the night of Tuesday,
May 11th at 12 midnight, but technically, it's actually Wednesday morning
early).
Thanks also for your contribution and the letter to your newsgroup. Maybe it
will result in a few more contributions to help keep "Amos 'n' Andy" on the
air!
By the way, I also have a Hammarlund HQ-129-X; in fact, I have THREE of them!
I'm a ham radio operator and you can hear me on or around 3890, 3885 or 3880
kilocycles nightly on A.M. with my other A.M. friends, talking, after "Amos n
Andy" goes off the air at 12:15 AM. (My call-sign is WA3PUN.)
Thanks again for your beautiful letter. I shall forever cherish it.
Sincerely, Ed Bolton

I got this today, and it brought a smile to my face. Thought I'd share it
(since this has all been shared with the group) with you all. :-)
Some of the mail was cut out, it was of a personal nature and I didn't know if
he'd want me to post that.
