They just don't know

They just don't know!

They just don't know that we are really having a good time.

They just don't know that we fall fast asleep solving crimes or rollicking on stage with Fred Allen and Jack Benny.

They just don't know that I was immersed in the music of Bernard Herrmann or the lovely strings of the London Philharmonic.

They just don't know I live in 1945.

They just don't know that when I take a walk my mind is on the cold wind and Casey, Crime Photographer.

They just don't know that when no one is around, I am doing imitations of The Old Timer on Fibber McGee and Molly - and doing it very badly.

They just don't know that I drove from Chicago to Toledo and the whole time I listened to all of Baby Snooks' skits at least three times and the trip went by so fast!

They just don't know that some people cannot afford a TV set and listen to old-time radio and it's twice the fun.

They just don't know that Arnold Stang can brighten up your day.

They just don't know that Groucho Marx was more than a stolen idea of a stork that sells pickles.

They just don't know that Henry Morgan was a strange man but a very funny one.

They just don't know what can be found when you try new OTR you have never listened to before.

They just don't know how much time I have invested in OTR.

They just don't know that I live in a different world than they do - because I don't like their world at all.

They just don't know I can go anywhere and be anyone I want with the flick of a button.

They just don't know how much the world has changed in 65 years.

They just don't know how funny Walter Tetley was.

They just don't know.
