[marshallstax]

Forward! Into the past!

Fans of "Old Time Radio" or those who just want to understand the process might be interested in this:

"Old radio never dies, and it will come back to life tonight at 7:30 when a group of radio and television veterans called the Broadcast Legends offers a program dripping in nostalgia and the crackle of live radio at the Jewish Community Center at California Street and Presidio Avenue in San Francisco. The event is sponsored by the San Francisco Museum and Historical Society."

"Among the features is a live 'broadcast' of an original "Lone Ranger" script, read on stage by members of the Broadcast Legends, many of them veterans of what they like to call the golden age of radio."

"Broadcast Legends include Al Hart, Ken Ackerman, Frank Dill, Bob Lazich and dozens more, each with more than 20 years' broadcast experience."

"The Broadcast Legends reception is at 7 tonight, and the program begins at 7:30 p.m. at the Jewish Community Center at California Street and Presidio Avenue. Admission is $5."
