Thursday Night - Old Time Radio

We invite you to join us for some great old-time-radio and chatter starting  at 8:00 pm EDT. You might like to either come by early or stay late for OTR or other interesting conversation. Everyone is welcome.

 

 

 

 

 

This week on Cruising The Classics, we return to the work of Herman Melville, with two short stories.  I’d like to point out that neither of these two stories are sea stories.  The first is “The Bell Tower,” from The Weird Circle, the second is Bartleby from Theatre Royale.  Lawrence Olivier has the starring role in the second one and you can judge for yourself if his American accent is good.  Enjoy and see you Thursday.

Hello Oldtime Radio Fans,

First I hope you are all safe and well.

During troubled times in our past, radio made us laugh.

that’s what we’ll attempt to do once again this Thursday Evening.

We’ll begin with the JACK BENNY show in which the first week of Spring is the topic from March 27 of 1949.

From that same date and a half hour later comes the Phil Harris Alice Faye show.

Vacation is their focus with unexpected results and consequences.

Those who remember the Golden Days of Radio will agree that one of the shining stars of that medium was Arthur Anderson.

Arthur used his abundant talent later to both act and direct in the many recreations produced by organizations like Friends of Old Time Radio, and SPERDVAC.

 

This evening we listen to a conversation done at the Friends of Old time Radio on 10/22/1993.

Arthur talks about Hotel for Pets as well as his long association with Let’s Pretend.

Join John and Larry Gassman plus John Rayburn as they chat with Arthur Anderson about his long and varied career.

Later we’ll hear “Faithful John from a Let’s Pretend Broadcast from 08/10/1946.

Hey kids, what time is it? It’s… time to answer a request from Glenn Schroeder up in the wilds of Wisconsin. If you’re over 60 you probably remember the show, but do you remember it from radio? We have an hour of what might be considered Sesame Street’s grandparent. We’ll go a little overtime to ensure our customary visit with the Baxters. We’ll be waiting for you so don’t dally.

Joy Jackson is the presenter for Thursday. Rather than playing another 2 shows from ART, which was done on Jan 25, I will be presenting 2 shows from old time radio. An episode from Jason and the Golden Fleece, something that Herb Ellis continually talked about in conventions I attended. And I looked around for another play that had boats and their environs. And I really enjoyed Pat Novak for Hire, the episode of Fleet Lady Rubin. So that is my second show. See you then!
