Jack: But I *prefer* to dig them out of *and listen to them on* staticky,
in/out-fading, often crowded radio bands. Its simply more satisfying that way.


By golly, that's what I prefer to do, too. Shortwave radio is my roots to a
lifetime career. Also, when I'm driving the byways, I prefer to listen to
"local" AM stations. It reminds me of the pre-Interstate days.

By the way... I heard Orson Welles' War of the Worlds original broadcast. I was
still in single digit age, but the Mercury Theater was one of my favorite
shows.

My friend and I listened to the 'War of the Worlds' show on WKBW-1520
Buffalo (now WWKB) when it was broadcast live for the first time. We
played a trick on his sister by acting like we thought it was all really
happening. She freaked out. It took us quite a while to calm her down
and explain that it was just a Halloween radio show. It made us realize
what the impact of the original broadcast by Orson Wells must have been
like.

I also saw the movie, in the early 1950s, in a drive-in theater no less. G

Yes, it was in color. The ends of the serpentine arms were cameras that looked
like a triune lens of the three basic colors.

I believe that idea came from the Crosley(?) color wheel that was used, I
believe, by CBS in the early days of color, before the RCA electronic scheme
was accepted.

Oh, and the actual critters were inside the machines.
