'Amos&Andy'.......here was my letter to him. (Ed Bolton)
4/28/04
Dear Ed, My name is ------- and I have wrote you before but didn't have much money to send you because of the spot I'm in but I don't know if you know about 'newsgroups' on the internet or it is also called 'usenet.' But I have been the rallying cry for you and 'Amos&Andy' and it has created quite a stir. I will staple together the 'thread' between me (dxluver@aol) and this guy named Frank Dresser. He made some comments on it, so I thought I'd share these with you. Hopefully you can follow along easy by reading it and seeing what I say and then what he says, many others piped in also, but Franks was the most provoking. Our newsgroup is rec.radio.shortwave on usenet, feel free to mention us on your show after you do 'Amos & Andy' it might kick up some help for you. One guy already said he'd send something your way. In turn, out of fairness, I will copy and paste this letter and share it with the group so they can read exactly what is transpiring. I wished you 'could' get a sponsor like Pepsodent did back then, that's be great. I'll keep you in my prayers, ******************************************** So there we go Frank and group!!! Maybe he'll respond here or to me and if he does, I'll share it with you guys first. |

"GO BEARCATS" wrote in message ... 4/28/04 Dear Ed, My name is ------- and I have wrote you before but didn't have much money to send you because of the spot I'm in but I don't know if you know about 'newsgroups' on the internet or it is also called 'usenet.' [snip} I googled up the Old Time Radio FAQ: http://www.faqs.org/faqs/radio/old-time-faq/ If you want to bring up the topic on another newsgroup, you might try: alt.radio.oldtime There's newsgroups for distributing old time radio. These are on my newsserver: alt.binaries.sound.radio.oldtime alt.binaries.sounds.radio.oldtime alt.binaries.sounds.radio.oldtime.highspeed Here's some websites which might be useful: http://www.genericradio.com/ http://www.genericradio.com/library.htm http://www.lib.umd.edu/LAB/ http://www.lib.umd.edu/LAB/scripts.html Ed Bolton might also be able to sell his tapes commercially. I don't have a big interest in old time radio, but it's not hard to find in the Chicago area. I first heard it thirty some years ago, when Chuck Schaden had a show on a suburban commercial station. He now has a similar show on a large college station. I heard Carl Amari's first old time radio programs when he started out on a 10 watt junior college station about 20 some years ago. He is now doing his When Radio Was" show starting weekday midnights central time on WBBM 780, out of Chicago. He is also in charge of the Twilight Zone radio show which is broadcast on WGN 720 midnight Saturday night. Of course, "Unshackled" is made at the Pacific Garden Mission, just south of the Loop.
