The tragedy at the World Trade Center has not only changed things politically, but it has also affected most of us emotionally. One antidote we discovered is a healthy dose of Old Time Radio from simpler times. Jerry Haendiges has assembled an awesome collection of over 50,000 vintage radio shows. Just reading through the titles will bring a smile to your face - but we urge you to go the next step. Make a cup of chamomile tea, settle into a comfortable overstuffed chair (if you don't have one - go get one at a thrift store), put you feet up, close your eyes and allow yourself to be transported into a world of radio drama.

Here is the tiniest preview of what you can choose from: “The Great Gildersleeve,” “Lum & Abner,” “of Superman,” “The Shadow,” “The Roy Rogers Show,” “Popeye, The Sailor,” “Arthur C. Clarke's World of Science Fiction,” “Hallmark Playhouse,” and “Mystery Theater.” Remember, there are over 50,000 shows - if you listen to one show a day, that job function email list will keep you in shows for over 136 years!! You can listen to shows from Jerry's site as well as many other sites for which he provides links. You can also purchase shows. If you have your own old recordings, Jerry repairs squealing Ampex tape and restores poor quality audio recordings. One more goody at this site that is not to be overlooked: The Society to Preserve and Encourage Radio Drama Variety. If you've been feeling kind of blue about our present day society, tune in for an uplift.



Pokerface is about music - tunes and lyrics with passion that will feed your patriot soul. No wimps here! Their reaction to the recent assault on civil liberties in the wake of the WTC tragedy? A quote by Benjamin Franklin says it with aplumb, “He that would give up a little bit of liberty for a little bit of personal safety, deserves neither liberty nor safety.” True, this group does not have a radio show. We plead indulgence. We are willing to gamble that your discovery of this group's music will cause you to forgive us. And you can listen to the streaming audio from their website.
