Ron S Posted January 26, 2008 Report Posted January 26, 2008 Did you know that Bud Collyer was the first Superman on the radio? My dad hipped me to that when we were watching Bud host "To Tell the Truth" back in the '60s. Quote

"Accomplished radio actor Bud Collyer was Superman's voice from 1940-1950. As the first man to ever play Superman, he defined the Man of Steel for a whole generation of radio listeners." http://xroads.virginia.edu/~ug02/superman/origins.html Quote

seeline Posted January 26, 2008 Report Posted January 26, 2008 (edited) Were you into the late-60s/early 70s syndicated ones with the outrageous psychedelic sets & hosted by Gary Moore? Those were my favorite! This might sound a bit weird, but I honestly don't remember - one of the reasons being that our family didn't get a color TV set until I'd been in college for a while. (And most TVs at school were also b&w.) All that to say: probably yes. I really liked all of the panelists, and I got a kick out of trying to guess who was real and who was fake.

Looks as if Bud was into psychedelic ties before psychedelia was hip. Quote

Ron S Posted January 27, 2008 Report Posted January 27, 2008 Derailing a thread to this extent is an art form (and in this case, you'll notice, took the joint efforts of several talented individuals). Quote

GA Russell Posted January 27, 2008 Report Posted January 27, 2008 Welcome clave and Bev! I've got you all beat. I'm a lesbian trapped in a man's body. The woman on the far left is Polly Bergen. When I was little my sister had an early LP of hers called Bergen Sings Morgan, in which she covered the songs of Helen Morgan. Twenty years later I had a part time job in a department store, and she made an appearance into my little corner and briefly chatted with me. I think she was in the store promoting a new perfume of hers. She was still quite attractive, and very nice too. Quote

Peter Posted January 27, 2008 Author Report Posted January 27, 2008 (edited) Actually, Bev Stapleton is responsible for this thread. When I first happened upon his postings, I thought, "ahhh a woman."' Then I learned that Bev was in fact a man and wondered . . . ., are there any women on this board? Now my wife is wondering why I'm wondering! And wondering why I'm looking at women in bikinis holding trombones on the net. Edited January 27, 2008 by Peter Quote
Teasing the Korean Posted January 27, 2008 Report Posted January 27, 2008 Seeline, I'm sorry you were booted off AAJ. I used to lurk over there and found your posts to be among the most informative. FWIW, I find the level of discussion year light years beyond what I've read over there, although they do have some good threads for musicians. Quote
EulaM Posted January 27, 2008 Report Posted January 27, 2008 after the operation, I'm changing my name to Adrienne - or is it Adrian? how does one spell that name, anyway? Adrienne, or Adrian? It means "Pearl of the Sea" doesn't it? We knew a man named Pearl. Everyone just called him Pete; Pete Mason Quote
analogak Posted January 27, 2008 Report Posted January 27, 2008 "we"? that's the first time i have heard anyone posting under "we"! that is cool-you are more than one person sitting at a computer and responding? i do not think i would be able to surf the internet with someone else sitting right next to me. i could see a lot of arguments and being bored and impatient and everything else.

JSngry Posted January 27, 2008 Report Posted January 27, 2008 "We" is Southern for "Me and my family, when I was a kid and still living with them". Quote
analogak Posted January 27, 2008 Report Posted January 27, 2008 ah. i was sitting here picturing a friend and i trying to search mutual websites and responding to things but eventually giving up and ending up just looking at porn and feeling weird sitting next to each other. Quote
EulaM Posted January 28, 2008 Report Posted January 28, 2008 "We" is Southern for "Me and my family, when I was a kid and still living with them". Like fixing to. Southern as well. I was fixing to explain it, but you all did it for me. Can't ever leave a southern house, without being being told, "Why don't you just spend the night?" Never meant in a hateful way, but it was almost always said. Or, "You might as well spend the night, we hate to see you go." Or they'll say, "You might as well go home with us." My uncle said this to my aunt one late afternoon and she said "OK, let me get my things.", and out the door she went, leaving her little children with her husband. He was shocked by her behavior, thinking she and her husband had had a fight and that had never been known to happen, but he took her home with him, over 50 miles away, this back in the early 30's In the middle of the night she did some really odd things, everyone tells us who were there that she was scaring everyone out of their wits. She had a severe stroke and that was the cause of her odd behavior. The doctor commited her, but come to find out her mind was fine, but her left side was permanently paralized. The neatest lady you could ever meet. Quote
