At 0400UCT here at my QTH in Cincinnati, first time I EVER heard Ed 'literally'
plead for donations. I was taping the show to let my Dad hear it and hoping he
read my letter I sent out Saturday with some money.

But he didn't do the 'Amos & Andy' show itself tonight, he used their voices to
ask for donations, I wonder how many (like he said) listen to the 12-14 minute
show every night and leave it to others to send in two or five bucks?

He literally said it tonight. "No donations and the show will forever be
gone." He really means it too. It WILL be gone also because no one is going to
acquire the original scripts (he won't sell em'~*he'd burn then first IMO~* and
do the voices like he does. It's pretty sad IMO, that show is a HUGE part of
Americana and just because cheap butts won't send it two dollars but listen to
it, people like me aren't going to get to hear it anymore and I was just
getting into the characters and storyline.

Maybe it's not a case of 'cheap butts' not sending in any money, but rather the
possibility that there are actually very few listeners?



If he takes it off the air due to those reasons, I can't do much, but I'll
never send another cent to ANY broadcaster anywhere. Let em' fend for their
selves or shut up (like apparently everyone else is doing) because I'm not
giving you my money so you can hear for free...lol. These transmitters and
relays and stuff don't run for free, not including his time and everything he
said tonight that goes into making ONE show.

I'll fire up my four scanners and transmitter and do my BCB dxing and forget
shortwave and get my ticket.

Just my take, was curious if anyone heard his pitiful characters begging for
money, oh yeah, if you send in anything he said he will send you a color (I
think) photograph of himself (Ed Bolton) behind the mic reading the scripts.
I'm looking forward to getting mine, at least I'll have that to remind me of
it.

Thoughts anyone on him asking for small donations like that?

He can ask all he wants, but as I've mentioned above there may actually be very few
listeners.

As with anything like that, only a percentage of listeners would send in money
anyway. Ask NPR!

Hey, I understand that Steve. That's different though (your thinking.) You
don't listen so why would you support it, I dig it.

I also understand if one can't afford it, but he asking for
'anything'....$2.......heck, the other morning some weeks back I heard Stair
saying "God told him there was someone out there (actually three people if I
remember right) that could donate $10,000!!!!!!!!!! Now that gets a ROTFLMBO.

Ed Bolton is doing the characters 'himself' from the original scripts from a
show that held America by the seat of its pants back in the 30's, like he said
tonight after the show, he told a little story about how back then he was five
years old and it was the depression and that was the one thing that the country
could depend on to cheer it up every night......'Amos & Andy.'

But if you don't listen-don't help. If you do, throw the guy a couple bucks
every month is all I'm saying. :-)

BTW -OT kinda. It's *COLD* here in Cincy tonight!

You're right, of course - but I'd listen if Amos and Andy made
false predictions.

That was your second funny post of the night. On that note, I'm hitting the
hay.

Later guys (and gals) {?}

Yeah, I forgot about Brenda Ann, good night.:-)
