Re: The Buster Keaton Show (1949)
That's the same scenario of why we have as many radio show's survive to this day, as we do. A program would be transcribed, usually for the ad agency, and then stored away and forgotten until some former employee goes home with it and 30 years later it is found in the garage. Bing Crosby's KRAFT MU...

Re: The Buster Keaton Show (1949)

Re: John Cocchi, reported missing, has been found dead
Was this someone who you traded with often, Richard? John was a long-time collector of stills and film, author of a good book, SECOND FEATURE:THE BEST OF THE B'S, among others, and his still collections had adorned and illustrated many, many books. I knew him reasonably well, had bought and traded ...
