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 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.
