This is the HARDBACK version. LIPL-VOL THREE REVIEWS "Jason has done his usual great job interviewing these celebrities. I highly recommend this book." -MEL SIMONS, author and host of Audio Clip Trivia Quiz CBS, WBZ NewsRadio 1030, Boston "Chicago's SAG-AFTRA Senior Radio Players have dedicated themselves to preserving the Golden Days of radio with authentic performances of voice & sound effects. Jason has been a valuable supporter with his knowledge of the shows we perform and those who originally made them happen. His engaging conversations and humor definitely make it difficult to put his books down. We are quite fortunate. Thank you, Jason!" -CONNIE FOSTER, SAG-AFTRA Senior Radio Players' actress, director, producer & Steering Committee member, Chicago "The book drew me in so much that I carried it from room to room as I steadily fed on bite-sized chapters." -MICHAEL JAMES KACEY, editor, Memos to a New Millennium: The Final Plays of Norman Corwin "Some people say that the third time is the charm. In this case it is definitely not the case. Each of his books has been terrific. Jason continues to peel back the glint and glimmer of "The Golden Age of Radio" and shows that all that glitters is not golden." -ANTHONY N. NAZAROWSKI, performer with Those Were the Days Radio Players and instructor of the History of the Golden Days of Radio, Chicago "Jason's focus is on old time radio and early television. He showcases personalities, who are dear to our hearts, and we're glad to be learning about." -MARK ANDERSON, Radio Recall, Washington, DC

Let me say a few words about who should really take credit for this bookand the two volumes that will soon follow it.It all began over twenty five years ago when I was looking for some way toenhance my radio show which I called Life in the Past Lane.At the time I was doing much the same thing that many others have done.I was simply replaying radio shows of the past and talking about them. Igot to thinking about the many performers and technicians who madethem and were still around at that time. Why not call them up, talk withthem and then play the results on the air?To make a long story short, I developed a sort of Hollywood and New Yorkunderground and managed to get access to some hard to come by phonenumbers. Much to my surprise, those folks were all more than willing totalk at length about their careers and their lives.It went so well that I decided to expand the project and include theatre,movies, early television and some fine musicians.The end result was that, over a two year span I was able to record overeighty extensive interviews with some of the people who made media history.Therefore-they are the ones who wrote this book. All I did was pull ittogether.
