Quick Note-Comment Moderation

Good Morning:
An Issue has come up recently that, until now I havent had to do much with. 99% of the comments have been on topic and courteous, and while I dont mind an occasional "pointed" comment, everyone has been pretty respectful and I appreciate that.

The only problems I've had really at all has been spam and that has been pretty rare..However, in the last week 4 variations of the same "comment" have been left-In Japanese yet! That in itself wouldnt be such a problem except that These were all under the same posting and as fast as I would delete it, it would come back.. Clicking the link to the Japanese text leads to an Adult video site..As a result, I am going to try moderation for a while, so I'll see your comments before they are published..Thanks all for your understanding..

New Link-Mr. Magoo's Christmas Carol Book

Cover of "Mr. Magoo's Christmas Carol" The Making of the First Animated Christmas Special" by Darrell Van Citters..Released July 2009..


"Broadway" (Great to Be Back) Opening to "Mr. Magoo's Christmas Carol"

Animation Producer/Director Darrell Van Citters has recently put out a new book about the making of "Mr. Magoo's Christmas Carol"..From samples I've seen, it looks to be very well done.Closer to the Holidays, I expect to be able to fully review this book. For now, here is the book's webpage..

Magoo's Carol is the first animated holiday special I ever saw and has a warm spot in my heart..

Random Radio stuff....mostly

WINW Aircheck May 1986 from airchexx.com


Hello:
Our friend Ed Thomas has once again come through with some really good vintage photos..Mostly from WINW-1520 Canton "Win-Wonderful"



WINW-1520 Coverage Map-Notice their secondary coverage area doesnt even hit Akron..Because the FCC in their wisdom, allocated both WINW and WKNT Kent. Ohio 1520 Khz with 1000 watts power in 1966..A situation still in effect today..


Pictures from WINW-Top:WINW Car presumably used for remotes and possibly news.second:Studio picture..Third:The WINW Lobby Fourth:Outside of the studios at 4111 Martindale Rd. NE, probably the late 1960's.


WFAH AM/FM Alliance Coverage Map..Probably 1969 or after..WFAH-FM was on 101.7 from 1950-68 (101.7 was WJER-FM Dover from 1968-2007 and is now WHOF Canton. ) 92.5 is now WDJQ (92.5 Had been WAND-FM Canton in the 1950's)1310 is now WDPN.



A pair of artifacts from WIXY-1260 Cleveland..I dont know if "Cindy" was an on air personality, but she was at least a board operator perhaps..Also:A WIXY Bumper Sticker


Finally:A very good looking copy of the WAKR-TV 23 logo from the 1970's..

As always, Grateful thanks to Ed Thomas for sharing these rarities with us..

New Link-TC (Twin Cities) Media

2007 WCCO-TV Logo

Good Morning:
I am always looking for new sites that have good historical content, videos, etc..from all over the country..Tom Oszman apparently taped a lot of newscasts and other programming from his native Minneapolis-St. Paul, Minnesota area from the 70's-90's..He has assembled much of this footage into his website, tcmedianow.com..Included also are specials and even a Bowling For Dollars episode..Also has current links to Twin Cities TV stations..very well done..

Musician Les Paul dies at 94...

Album Cover..Les Paul and Mary Ford..

Les Paul, who revolutionized Guitar playing and recorded sound, passed away yesterday at the age of 94..He was mainly known for introducing the solid-body electric guitar to the world of music..He was also known for experimenting with electronic sounds in such a way that it ultimately changed the way music is played.
New York Times Obituary:

http://www.nytimes.com/2009/08/14/arts/music/14paul.html?_r=1

Along with his then-wife, Mary Ford, Mr. Paul had his biggest success in the mid 1950's with many hit records, including "Vaya Con Dios"..That success led to a 5-minute TV series, "Les Paul and Mary Ford at Home" that was nationally syndicated..Sponsored by Listerine and Richard Hudnut, the series was seen in Cleveland on WJW-Channel 8..usually following The 6 or 11PM Newscasts..The show seems a bit hokey watching it today..Mary is doing something in the home while Les just happens to come along with his guitar...suggesting any reason to sing a song..Which they, of course, do nicely..

Here, from YouTube user GrumpyPolecat is a sample of "Les Paul and Mary Ford at Home".With Mary singing "I'm sitting on top of the World" and Les playing "This Can't Be Love"




Interesting what they could do with what amounts to 4 1/2 minutes..set up a storyline, do 2 songs and a commercial or sometimes one song and 2 commercials..Then wrap up the storyline and say good bye..There are some other samples of Les and Mary's shows in the related videos..

Our condolences to the Les Paul Family at this time..
