What's that?..Say Junior...Hope and Crosby!

noreply@blogger.com (Jimmy P-Town) — Thu, 26 Aug 2010 06:26:00 +0000

The Bob Hope Show was similar to the Bing Crosby Show. Like Crosby, he came to radio early and stayed late. He shared with Crosby an ability with words, a glibness, a keen intelligence. They did not however share their styles. Crosby on the air was slow and mellow: Hope was a machine gun, constantly firing off jokes.
Showcased in the show were the likes of James Melton, Jane Froman, Jack Kirkwood, Patricia Wilder, Johnny Mercer, and Frank Parker.
The Pepsodent Show with Yehudi became intertwined with Sherlock Holmes and Dr. Watson but all along, Hope was definitely the star.
No one had ever told jokes quite like Bob Hope. His monologues were rapid-fire blasts of comedy, extremely topical and wildly appreciated by all of his audiences.
Hope had Olympic style writers writing for him and he insisted that the script be exactly 37 minutes long. It was then whittled down joke by joke until only the surefire material remained. The result on the air was a breathless gush, with six laughs a minute guaranteed.

Just the facts ma'am...Dragnet!

noreply@blogger.com (Jimmy P-Town) — Thu, 26 Aug 2010 06:14:00 +0000

"Ladies and gentlemen: the story you are about to hear is true. Only the names have been changed to protect the innocent.
Tuesday, February 12. It was cold in Los Angeles. We were working the day watch out of robbery division. My partner's Ben Romero. The boss is Ed Backstrand, chief of detectives. My name's Friday"

At first a Radio crime drama, which later became both a TV series and Films, about the cases of a dedicated Los Angeles police detective, Sergeant Joe Friday, and his partners. The show takes its name from an actual police term, a "dragnet", meaning a system of coordinated measures for apprehending criminals or suspects.

This episode "The Big Tooth" aired February 15, 1953

Hey! Who likes the movies?...ahhh, everybody.

When it came time to put together another Jimmy P-Town Show, I looked though the vast world of vintage vinyl and found an abundance of albums from feature films at every thrift store I visited.
Whether its a musical, period piece, souring epic, sci-fi, or comedy, there's always music to go with it and a vintage album from it not far behind.
So grab some popcorn and a soda, have the usher tear your ticket and show you to your seat, then sit back and enjoy as The Jimmy P-Town Show is taking you, to the movies!

Making a vinyl record...the P-Town way!

noreply@blogger.com (Jimmy P-Town) — Sun, 01 Aug 2010 20:17:00 +0000

How to make a copy of a vinyl record!

noreply@blogger.com (Jimmy P-Town) — Sun, 01 Aug 2010 20:06:00 +0000

Courtesy of "The Professor"

Step 1

Using the wooden strips, make a box around the glass plate. Seal off the edges using the window cement. Make sure everything is air tight

Step 2

Place your record inside the box making sure that the portion to be copied is facing upward. Squeeze in some window cement to mark where the hole in the record is.

Step 3

Mix the silicone (Smooth On OOMOO 30 or OOMOO 25) for about 3 minutes before pouring in to the mold.

Step 4

Pour in the mixture. Start from one corner and let it fill-up the mold to about half a centimeter. Make sure it’s even. Let it dry for 6 hours.

Step 5

Peel off the silicone from the cast. Cut off the excess using a cutter.

Step 6

Pour the liquid plastic (Smooth On Task #4) on top of the silicone cast.

Step 7

Make sure that nothing spills over the round form. You can also brush off any air bubbles that might occur.

Step 8

Carefully loosen the plate from the silicone form. Using a drill press, bore a hole through the center of the plate. You can use the silicone form as a template to make more copies

There you have it. Your very own copy.

Please keep your hands and arms outside at all times

The Shadow!

noreply@blogger.com (Jimmy P-Town) — Wed, 07 Jul 2010 22:42:00 +0000

This episode was not only provided by, but is also dedicated to the loving memory of the "The Lady", Diane Halverson, who left us all too early and who we will love and keep in our hearts always.

"Who knows what evil lurks in the hearts of men?
The Shadow knows!"

The Jimmy P-Town Show presents, The Shadow, radio's most mysterious character, encounters the greatest challenge of his career in this strange tale of the "Temple Bells of Neban."

As listeners during radio's golden age knew, The Shadow was in reality Lamont Cranston, wealthy young man about town. Many years before, a yogi taught Cranston the strange and mysterious ability to cloud men's minds so they could not see him - a skill which allowed him to fight sharpsters, lawbreakers and criminals in the guise of, The Shadow!

For years the secret of the The Shadow's true identity was shared by only one person, his companion Margo Lane. But tonight, Lamont discovers that his identity is also known by another - a hauntingly familiar, but beautiful snake dancer. Soon Lamont learns that she is in fact the niece of the yogi who taught Cranston his powers - powers she is now determined to destroy forever!!!
