If you remember these songs... you have lived a long life. Recorded in 1919 - 116 yrs ago

This track includes two episodes of the 26 episodes of "The Green Valley Line" which was produced in 1934-35. Amazing audio quality and sound effects for a 90 year old recording.

Audio Introduction gives a brief background on "Duffy's Tavern" program... introduces the program on this track (The Millionaire) and makes some comparison between Ed Gardner's Archie and Carroll O'Connor's Archie as part of Norman Lear's "All in the Family" program. (This track will be in a Duffy's Tavern" playlist on this site) "Tavern" is misspelled in the image? :) Maybe the sign person spent too much time in the "Tavenrn"?

Audio introduction gives general background on "The Shadow" and introduces the track entitled "Firebug." For a recording that was made 85 years ago, it is well preserved. Goodrich Silvertown Tires is the sponsor, A set of 4 tires would have cost $56 in 1938, but that is a pretty significant amount considering the average annual salary was $1731. That amount of money...adjusting for inflation would now be $38,726.... an increase of 2,138.33%!. Those $56 tires would now cost a little over $1100.00. Never mind the tires... enjoy the show! This track will be in "The Shadow" playlist.

Audio introduction gives a general background on the "Suspense" series of over 950 programs... most featured the most popular film and Broadway stars. They loved the show because it was easy money and it was a popular show. Actors generally had 2-3 rehearsals and then they went live. Excellent programs that really did keep listeners huddled in their living rooms around the glowing radio...waiting for the surprise ending to most of the shows. This show will live in the "Suspense_Horror" Playlist.

In the early to late 70's NPR attempted to bring drama back to radio. They encouraged many of the playwrights of the era to contribute their work to be turned into a radio production. The result was some fantastic programs with outstanding actors and production standards... in stereo! On this track is "Alice Through The Intercomb".... and remember if the rain they have (2 inches) in the program, happened to be snow.... well it would be 20 inches! :)
