This and that - a tiny hodge-podge
Sorry for the lack of updates the last 3 days. I have been really busy. Not just busy with the podcasts but helping a friend who is sight-impaired build a website. Hopefully by tomorrow I can start looking for news you can use again.
I have done two complete podcasts and since Friday is the 1st, I will start running them then. They will be found on another blog but more details as time goes on. The podcasts will average 10 minutes each. As for the two I have completed, one ran 8:12 and the other almost 11:30. This is going to be an everyday thing!
I used original music for the opening and closing themes.
-
Have you ever noticed that when people got sun-tanned in OTR they called it a sun-burn?
Mary Livingstone: You look good with that sun burn!
Jack Benny: Why, thank you.
You know it couldn't have possibly been a burn - no one looks good with a burn. And I have heard this many times.
-
I tried doing 2 different things this weekend that did not quite work. You'e going to think I am crazy but...
I tried to make a song out of Gildersleeve and Leroy from their own voice inflections. This actually went pretty well for a while and then I got stuck and it was taking up too much time. :(
But even crazier than that was editing out Leroy on Great Gildersleeve and replacing him with Julius Abruzio on The Phil Harris-Alice Faye Show (and vice versa.) This actually went amazingly well as "Leroy" turned into a very bad child.
Here was my quandry - is it right to do this? I kind of felt guilty the whole time and eventually I shelved the idea - plus, it was another humongous time-killer. I really don't have time to waste on stuff like that.
I had planned on surprising you with it on April Fool's Day but have backed out.

Phil Baker and Take It or Leave It

| Phil Baker often played the accordian on the show and was quite good as it. He was also funny. |

Yay! OTR Buffet to continue unabated...
I found out yesterday from friend Jim Beshires of otrr.org that there are stacks and stacks of magazines that are still unscanned. (Meaning - that's an equivilant to a new delivery truck or three for the OTR Buffet.)
Mr. Beshires has also consented to do an interview with the OTR Buffet and we should conduct that within a couple of weeks.There are also MAJOR surprises coming up in the whole interview vein, so be on the lookout. I am sure you will enjoy those.
Also I have been given permission to use all of the OTR collector's magazines at OTRR.org and there are a ton of those with lots and lots of interviews and all kinds of useful-to-the-Buffet kinds of stuff.
I'm pretty busy these days doing some OTR side work and I want you to know that on Friday, April 1st, I will begin a new daily podcast. The podcast will only last an average of 10 minutes (one day it will last 5 minutes, another day 15 minutes, another day 10 minutes, etc.) Of course, it will be about OTR. So I am busy working on that. So there may only be 10 posts here a day this week instead of 12-20 as per usual.
I'll let you all know more about the Daily Podcast as time approaches.
You can find out more behind-the scenes stuff going on with me at the new Silent Radio blog, which is updated 2-3 times a week.
