Doctor John Favourite early radio shows (78* d) RE: Favourite early radio shows 18 Oct 99


Art, I wish I'd been able to listen to "Back Where I come From", but I did hear Woody Guthrie on Children's Hour when I was two (!)and Cisco Houston did a series of programmes on BBC radio in around 1960; SF have those in their archives. Was it Big Bill Campbell and his Rockie Mountaineers as I remember or with his Bunk House Boys? Riders of the Range was a cowboy strip cartoon in the Eagle comic (hero: Jeff Arnold) written by Charles Chiltern, the Journey into Space author and producer. Then there was "Life of Bliss" with George Cole, Housewive's Choice (sexist??) with sometimes George Elrick (does anyone remember him?). I remember wireless sets with their smell as the valves heated up, all made of bakealite. Just about old enough for ITMA _ "Can I do you now Sir" and "Don't mind if I do". Dr John
