Yeah, my postings haven't exactly been a daily event recently -- AND tomorrow and Tuesday I'll be obsessed with wrapping up the next issue, so STILL no postings ...
But where I've been was much fun: the Friends of Old Time Radio convention in Newark. If you click on Paul Curtis' link to the left, you'll not only be able to see a bunch of public-domain comic-book stories, but also a few of his photos from this weekend's celebration of an art form that never died in England but that basically Went Away in America.
Among the countless delights was a performance by Chuck McCann (often referred to in Mark Evanier's blog -- also see the link to the left) as, almost simultaneously, the narrator of a Lone Ranger adventure AND Silver. IF the video I recorded turns out OK, I'll post a clip eventually: magnificent!
In the course of the weekend, daughter Valerie appeared in a re-creation of a lost Sam Spade episode (some sound effects by brother Paul) that may air later today on the NYC radio station WBAI. And Valerie and I appeared in a re-creation of a surviving Henry Aldrich episode. Whee! At some point, I'll try to post some clips of those, too. If you get a chance to attend an OTR convention, try it out. Seriously.
