(01:12):
Let's go ahead and take a lessonfrom Hollywood. It's time now for
Johnny Dollar. Yeah, Pete Corbyn, Donald, I found your message when
I got in, but I don'tknow why I'm returning your call after that
las thing I took from you.Well, at least you haven't a run
out on us. Why should I? How would you like to explain what

(01:33):
you were doing in Port Morris,New Jersey, yesterday afternoon at the scene
of the so called accidental death ofyour client, Riccardo Amarigo. Oh yeah,
I thought that was you. Isaw that. God on there,
it sure was. Are you inyour office? Yeah, that's right.
I thought you wanted to stay there. I do want to know that and
a lot of other things. I'llsee you in about an hour after I've
made another call. Okay, okay, I'll be here tonight and every weekday

(02:04):
Night. Bob Bailey in the transcribedAdventures of the Man with the Action Packed
Expenser, count America's fabulous freelance insuranceinvestigator Yaus Truley. Johnny Dollar expens account
submitted by Special Investigator Johnny Dollar,location in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, to the

(02:29):
Philadelphia Mutual Liability and Casualty Company followinghis accounting of further expenses during my investigation
of the Ricardo Amerigo matter. Expenseaccount item six thirty three dollars seventy five
cents dry cleaning and new shirts,socks, and so on, including one
pair of shoes to replace the onesI lost in the South Jersey swamp while

(02:52):
rescuing what I thought was a pricelessAmadi violin and a muddy tide water in
let's call Luckyhole Creek. But whenI showed it to Harry Brand's in at
Philadelphia Mutual, well, at leasthe promised to have an expert to look
it over and pass final judgment.That's a reason forriteum seven eighty five cents
taxi to Harry's office in the SecurityFirst Building. Oh, come in,

(03:13):
John, Come in, Hi Harry. What have you found out? Nothing
yet? But I should hear fromthe violin man? And he meant,
John, I do hope I waswrong. It's done, Thanks Harry.
I could have committed Mayham when youtold me that fiddle I picked up on
the swamp is in the Amadi.You think you're nearly drowned retrieving it?

(03:34):
Oh, brother, that's putting itmildly. Butt. I'm sure Foresto will
know for Reesto. Uh, Forresto'ssir Negliario. However he pronounces it's the
violin man. He really an expert. Well, he's the one who okayed
the thirty thousand dollars policy on Amerigo'sviolin. Let's just hope this one's it.
Did you learn anything in port marries? Only confirm what you'd already learned

(03:54):
from Sergeant Peter's down there that someonehad sawed through some steering connection on Amerigo's
car before it crashed through the bridge. Yeah, still no sign of the
body. No. Oh, aman named Adam Bowles call. Oh,
he's an old friend, used tobe a private detective and just can't get
it out of his system. Ohwell, he called me. You know,
I know, and I must confessJohn that I'm inclined to agree with

(04:16):
him that Peter Corbin, Aberrio's agent, didn't agent and beneficiary John and apparently
the one person who knew amorgo Well, and I set it to add bulls
until I was blue in the facearea and I say it again, too
easy? But who else? Idon't know. That's what I came back
here to find out. All theevice, circumstantial evidence. The kind of

(04:38):
man would be a fool to letpile up against him if he really was
gilly Even so, Harry, letme do it my own way. Huh.
What if this Corbin tries to skipout, then will be the time
to his getting Yes, mister SharneyArrow, to see you, Sir Sharney
Arrow, I knew that was it. Send him in a man is here

(04:59):
John for Risto, Yes, sure, it's very Oh well come then,
for rest all meet mister Dollar.How do you do, mister you brought
the fiddle? Yeah, right hereon the desk. Well, thank you,
I'll open up the case. Wellis it, mister Bronson, mister

(05:24):
Dollar, I'm sure. Well,well, mister Shane raw Look, you've
only got to look now that Ihave a cleaning ways. Some of the
mud and the sword from the swamppoint was a found We're lucky it did
not do any real damage to changethe appearance, but nobody could tell the
way you gave it to me.Well, how about now that you've cleaned

(05:44):
it up? Yes, ah,you see here the shape of the f
holes, the curve to the bell. Yeah, the beautiful shape, the
signs of age, and above allhere you see the labor label through the
f hole. You can see itthere, Nicolo Amati, then it is
Amarillo's. Gee, you're sure,mister Shaniero who the labeled, says and

(06:08):
Foresto says, well, look,I talk with a fiddle player in the
orchestra at my hotel last night.He told me there are literally thousands of
imitations of every important violin ever made, shape, size, label and all.
And I'll listen for Esto tell methe truth. Do you really consider
yourself an expert? Poor Limelo?I'm gonna sell a wire Lin's into my
storevio Lins, Harmonicus or Korna's BigTruth. How good are the violins?

(06:30):
Yourself? A good one? Someas high as a sixty five of dollars?
Harry, do you mean to tellme, with all due apologies for
Usto, do you mean to tellme he was your authority for a thirty
thousand dollars policy on Ricky Amerigo's violin? Well, of course, a representative
from the will. It's a collectionin Chicago, verified for Resto's opinion at
the time. See your will.It shall know every good wire in the

(06:53):
end the world. Harry, letme have it. I'll give you a
receipt for it. I'll bring itback when I'm through with it. Whatever
you say, John, I assumeyou want to check they're on the authenticity
and you are right, John,Yeah, to put it bluntly, you've
still not accomplished very much. Andso far as Amerigo himself is concerned with
this fiddle under my arm, Ithink maybe I will see you later.

(07:18):
Maybe Harry had been right in thevery beginning. Maybe I should have known
a little more about music, ormore specifically violins. Or maybe I should
have left this aspect of the caseto someone else and concentrated on the disappearance
death of Riccardo Amerigo. Maybe Iwell expense account animate eighty cents taxi to

(07:38):
booking agent Peter Corbyn's office. Allright, Dolla, let's not waste either
your time, Marina mine. Youwant to know what I was doing.
That's right, Corbyn. Here,MARII I found it right where you planted
it, and that swamped near PortMorris. You actually found a thank What
do you mean where I planted it? What else were you doing there on

(08:00):
the South Jersey swamps? Is thatwhere you found you? Ought to know?
But Frankly Covin, I think youoverplayed it a bit when you tuk
part of one of Amerigo's monogram shirtsthere with it. I don't know what
you're talking about, actually, Imean it then what were you doing down
there? And brother, you bettermake it good? The same thing you
were trying to find out what happenedto Ricky Americo. I tell you,

(08:20):
Dalla, I was his best friend. It's a true fact. If his
fiddle was down there too, Ididn't see it. I wish I could
believe you. By the way itlooks from here, you were willing to
have the Amadi island found lying outthere in that salt marsh because you couldn't
get rid of it without exposing yourself. It didn't put any money in your
pocket. The way you figure Amerigo'sdeath, well, the way it looks
from here, Dala, that's whereyou're wrong. Yeah, yeah, actually

(08:43):
wrong. If Amerigo's dead, Icollected his insurance as is beneficial. That's
what the policy says. But believeme, all right, But you think
I wouldn't collect on the Amadi fiddlewhether it was founder, if it wasn't
found, That's where you're wrong.What are you talking about? Because I'm
also a benefit visuary to his will. How do you know? Because I'm
not only the soul and only airin his will, I'm also the executive,

(09:07):
yeah, executive of his estate too. So if I was the heavy,
what would I take a chance leavingthe thirty thousand dollars fiddle laying around
some swamp cover up thirty thousand dollarsworth all right, what did you do
with the hacks? Are you meansomebody saw it up the fiddle? Oh
no, let me no, no, easy, Well you somebody saw it

(09:30):
part way through a steering arm onAmerigo's car to make a crash. Bude,
that's a pretty fair question. Ohno, oh no, Dola,
no I oh no. Who wouldmurder a nice, sweet guy like Ricky?
Maybe he was a drunk, Maybehe hit the skids, but he
had no enemies, he couldn't help. Okay. Maybe he was just a
drunken bomb, worthless. He threwaway a concert career, but he was

(09:52):
still He was a gentleman, anactual gentleman, and he was a sweet
guy. Nobody could have murdered him. Oh no, no, not rick
Who was it? Tell me whowas a lossy punk? I'll kill him?
Okay, Pete, I believe you. I don't care whether you believe
me or not. Would you tellme who done it? Hey? Would
you listen to me? Look here, look here, and tell me is

(10:18):
this Ricky's Amadi violin? Yeah?That's that's it, Ah, poor Ricky
drunk? You're sure? I'm sure? All right, Pete, I'm gonna
give it to you straight all Iasked, is we don't know who killed
Ricky Amrigo. We haven't even foundhis body. The Fort Morris police is

(10:39):
still trying, of course, butit could have been carried by the tie
through that inlet the Lucky Whole Creekright on out to the sea. Or
of course it may appair somewhere alongthe creek. It'll take weeks to search
that swamp thoroughly. Anyhow, ifthey do find him, I want to
see he gets a decent burial.Will you promise me? Okay, I'll
try, but listen with you.Because of the sword through steering arm,
his death was made to look accidental, double indemnity, and you're the beneficiary.

(11:05):
He not only wasn't making you anymoney because his drinking kept him off
the concert stage, but he owedyou money plenty. Now that's a motive.
As for opportunity, who else hadas much as you? Nobody,
nobody, nobody, But I lovethe book guy. I try to keep
him alive and get him back Ome and I believe you. But the
fact remains that the insurance company,the police, even a pretty smart private
detective I know, all figure youfor number one suspect, and I hope

(11:28):
to accumulate enough evidence to moving on, and you're with them. No,
no, yesterday right here you showyou. I know I did, but
I've had time to think it out. Depending it on you is just too
easy, much too easy. I'llsee it to your face. Pete.
You're no metal giant. But onlyanother fool would let circumstantial evidence like that
pile up against him and then commita murder like that. I may be

(11:50):
wrong, Lord help you if Iam and find out, but I think
you're clean. I swear I am. I'm gonna play it that way unless
I find solid reason to change mymind because Pete, Yeah, Johnny,
you're the one person who can helpme in this case. I'll do anything,
actually anything. Just ask me,all right. First, tell me

(12:11):
where you were last Friday evening whenAmory goes car made that dive off that
bridge Alabama. That's right, brother, and you can be sure. I'll
check it at Willie's all right.Who's Willie? Willie? Willie Elliott.
He's a saxophone plays one of myclients. He was a friend of Ricky's
too. Where can I find him? What's his address? I'll write it
down for you. We had afour handed poker game. Who else in

(12:31):
the game, Jerry Goldsmith? Youknow Ricardo too? Oh yeah? Composer,
conductor, violin player, fiddle player. Who is the fourth? Eric
Snowden? Was he? It's afiddle maker who lives at his shop.
Write that fiddle maker? Did yousay? Yeah? Yeah? Yeah?
He was the sole and only manRicky would ever let touches ABOUTI who repairs

(12:54):
and fixing up the other stand?Who else? Were good friends of Ricardo's?
Uh? Wiley was making it plentylately. Nobody? You sure?
Oh, nobuddy Johnny, I know, of course. He hung around a
lot of bars. He was aregular. Give me a list. Well,
let's see. There's a little placeover on Pine Street called a yellow
Lamp. Expense account item nine threeseventy A quick sandwich for Pete Corobing and

(13:20):
myself, and a flock of phonecalls to Pete's poker pals, just to
make sure they were in and availablewhen I could get around to see them.
I had to phony up an excusefor seeing each of them. Friend
of Pete's just didn't from out oftown, suggested I give you a call
that sort of thing, and apparentlyit didn't arouse any suspicion. At least
it was a start for the firsttime. Call it a hunt show,

(13:41):
whatever you like. I felt Iwas going to get somewhere in this case.
As it turns out, I was. Believe me, Johnny Dellar,

(14:07):
your investigate Hello? What did yousay? Who is this your investigating Ricardo?
Yeah, that's right, I'm investigatingthe Ricardo Amerigo matter. Who are
you hello? Listen? You havesome information a tip on the case.
Who are you hello? Hello?What is this a gag? Yeah?
Or is it supposed to be somekind of a cock eye threat, a

(14:28):
warning for me to get off thecase? Believe me, this is no
gag. Hello. Hello. Expenseaccount submitted my special investigator, Johnny Dollar
location in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, tothe Philadelphia Mutual Liability and Casualty Company following

(14:52):
us an accounting of further expenses incurredduring my investigation of the Ricardo Amerigo matter.
Expense of con item ten twenty onedollars even for drinks for me alone,
and believe it or not, I'mcold, sober, but the least
I could do was buy one ateach of the bars on the list.
Pete Corbyn gave me a list ofall the places Ricardo Amerigo used to hang

(15:13):
out before his disappearance in a SouthJersey swamp. In spite of all the
circumstantial evidence pointing his way, Istill wasn't convinced Corbyn had engineered an accident
to kill Amerigo. Pete did alsogive me a list of Amerigo's closest personal
friends. Three of them. Itold them I'd see them later. Meanwhile,
I hope to learn something helpful fromthe places where he apparently spent most

(15:35):
of his time during his last fewmonths on this earth. But the result
can pretty much be summed up atthe last bar on the list, the
Hangover club. Yeah, quest eightycents here keep the change. Thanks,
Yes, just like I can tellyou, mister, come in here by

(15:58):
a few drinks, sit and drinkthem. Leave. Well, uh,
didn't he ever talk to anybody,not even me? Just hit there and
get plastered to one of his friendsand come in and drag him away.
Oh did you know any of them? Oh? Sure, well he got
your saxophone player at the Crystal Room. Who else, Jerry somebody f little

(16:18):
player, Jerry Goldsmith. Yeah,they're on my list. Anybody else Uh,
oh yeah, way you're sure thisagent Pete Carpet. Yeah that's true.
Hey if you knew that, whyyou ask me? I've heard the
same thing exactly twenty times so fartoday. Well I'll say this for him.
They must have loved Amerigo. Theymight have fought argered with him when
they caught him in here, butit was on for one thing, to

(16:38):
try and straighten them on. Butmister he was too far. And yeah,
yeah, shame for a talent likehim, consciented violinist to hit the
kids the way he'd done. Butnobody couldn't seem that the story had been
exactly the same in every bar inthe list. Apparently the only friends,
the only associates that Ricardo Amerigo hadhad, where those Pete Corbyn had named

(17:02):
expense account out of eleven won tencav fair to the apartment of William Elliot
over on Callowell Street. Same story, No new names of friends or even
acquaintances. He and Corbin and Goldsmithand the old English violin maker Eric Snowden
had known Emrigo for years, goodtimes and bad, had all tried to
help him straighten him out, weredeeply grieved over his death. It Am

(17:22):
twelve, five seventy cave to asuburb Carl Lenark to see Jerry Goldsmith,
where I'll admit I expected to getthe same story, the same names,
no more, no less. Thistime I took the Amadi violin with me.

(17:44):
Hi, who are you? I'mJohnny Dower. Oh, yes,
you come in, friend of PeteCorbin's. You said, done, mister
Goldsmith. I'll get right to thepoint. I'm an insurance investigator, and
I came in violent that it lookslike Ricardo's and the Amati Yes, oh

(18:06):
thank god. I found it downon a South Jersey swamp where Amerigo's car
plunged off the bridge. They hadbeen lying there, hidden by the marshes
for several days. Is it allright? May I see it? One
reason I brought it along was soyou could substantiate identification. I make no
bones about it, mister Dollar.I coveted this violin like nothing else in
the world. I've played many fineinstruments, strads when you're a even this

(18:27):
my statement, I see, butRicardo's a matti. There was something between
that violin and myself that could existfor no one else, not even Ricardo
and Marigo when he was at hisgreatest and when he started his it's terrible
downfall. You wanted it even more, Yes, more than anything else in

(18:47):
the world, enough to kill forhim, mister Dollar. I should kill
you for even thinking such a thing. I love Ricardo, Okay, Sorry,
The fact remains somebody saw it througha steering arm on his car.
I still can't believe that no onecould have killed Ricardo. No one.

(19:11):
Only three others beside myself, evenNew Ricardo these past few years, Corbyn
Elliott and Eric Snowden pity him,feed him, clothe him, try to
fight him away from the liquor thathad ruined his brilliant career. Yes,
even hate him at time to whathe'd done to his life. But murder,
I'm sorry. May I sure itis the AMAI? Yes, yes,

(19:42):
I know it as well as Iknow my own. May I play
it? Sure? What's the matter? I don't know, mister Dollar.

(20:22):
It isn't here. The tone ofthe brigants, the response, it isn't
here. Something's wrong. You're surethis is the AMODI, of course,
I'm sure. But something's wrong.Something's happened to it. It isn't the
same. Well, you think thedampness of the swamp. But I don't
know. You can see it's it'sall right, but but it isn't well.
I don't know anything about violin andno cracks, no marks, no
damage even the sound post. Butyou're sure it's Ricardo Amorgos somebody, Yes,

(20:48):
yes, I told you so.I couldn't possibly be mistaken. But
something is. I don't you knowsomething I don't either. I'm afraid I
left Jerry Goldsmith rather abruptly and ina rather distressed condition. But I had

(21:11):
plans, and the sooner I couldcarry them out, the better I had
him. Thirteen on expense account,four to twenty taxi fair back into town
at the shop of Eric Snowden,violin maker, the only man who'd been
allowed to touch Riccado Emerigo's Ammadi,except of course, for the music store
owner who'd cleaned it up after Ifound it in the swamp. Yeah,
it was possible he had done somethingto it. It would destroy its tone,

(21:32):
but for some reason or other,call it a hunter gale like I
hope not. Snowden shop was locatedon a colorful little side street, really
not much more than an alley calledEisminger Street. Right in the middle one
of the busiest sections of the city, surrounded by skyscraper's office stores and all
the traffic that goes with them.This one little alley, except for Snowden's
place. The tiny buildings packed sideby side are all residences left over from

(21:56):
years gone by when this was aresidential section, and still unspoiled the bustling
activity around. Thank you, misterRomandy, and I'll be sure to hear
you at the Academy of Music Saturdaynight. Sir, sir, mister,
Yes, I'm Eric Snowden, butthat violin case, I'm Johnny Dollar,

(22:17):
I thought so. Please come in, mister Dollar. That's right, it's
Riccardo Myrio. It's been found.Please let me, mister Snowden. I'm
an insurance investigator. Quite of myjob has been recovery of this violin.
It's possible lost. Was the mostheartbreaking thing I ever contemplated. But you

(22:37):
found it, I think so.You think I don't understand Here, take
it, examine it, Yes,but not here. Come we'll go up
to my workroom on the second floorwhere I can check it entirely. I
locked this front door so we won'tbe disturbed. Now, come with me,
please. I can't believe it.It's so wonderful you found it would

(23:00):
have been a terrible loss to theworld. Yeah, I guess so you're
not a violinist yourself. No,I'm afraid. The only violent music I
know is what I hear. Andnow here we are quite a shot.
Most of the finest violins in theworld have been here one time or another.
The start of Arius of Yash wasquite a shot. The walls were

(23:22):
aligned with fiddles in the making andwith tools, some for Maduran, some
that were EXAs. A couple ofthem small and delegate boy, but one
big one dirty Eric Snowdon turned awayto open the violent case. I ran
my fingers over the blades. Therewas grease on one Greece now here.

(23:49):
Oh well, mister Snowdon, Yes, mister Dollar, this is Ricardo Marigo's
violin. Is certain of that?Do you think that I, of all
people, wouldn't know mister Dollar asidefrom Ricardo himself, I am the only

(24:10):
person who has touched this magnificent instrumentfor years now. I must confess I
resent your least question of my judgment. All right, I'll be honest with
you. I don't pretend to knowmuch about violin. So I had somebody
playing a while ago. Secret mightbe that, as it may, it
didn't sound to him, or evento me, like a thirty thousand dollar
violin. And whom did you permitto lay hands on this priceless instrument?

(24:32):
A friend should be horsewhipped. Onlyan artist, a great artist, should
be permitted to handle a thing likethis. But I suppose you understand that,
mister dollar. I don't suppose youwill go on, mister dollar.
Someone has tampered with this. Oh, of course it doesn't sound right.

(24:56):
Did this friend of yours presume tobe a violin maker? To what do
you mean? The sound post,the placement of the bridge? Of course
it doesn't sound right. Now,why does somebody have to do you want
to answer that? No, letthem wait. This is more important.
No wonder you or your friend oranyone else questioned the validity of this instrument.
Hey, whoever that is down there, he really wants you. Look

(25:18):
here, A simple adjustment here andhere, Oh, bother, go ahead,
I wait, all right, Ishall be right back. It was
a quick suspicion when I spotted thehacks on the wall, and I couldn't
forget the warning over the phone.Snowden waited on his customer. I poked
around the shop some more, lookingfor goodness knows what, and I found
exactly nothing. No doubt Snowden wastelling the truth until I started to sit

(25:44):
down to wait for him, Andas I pulled over a stool, I
knocked open the door of a cabinnext to his workbench. I started to
close it again, and then Isaw it hanging there on the hooker's a
island. I grabbed it out ofthe cabinet and held it under the light
beside the one in Amerigo's case.I held them up together. It was
unbelievable. The shape, the colorof the markings Nixon, the little pigs

(26:06):
you tune them up, with aspot of stain on the scroll, even
a tiny, almost indiscernible scratch onthe back, an old pencil mark on
the inside in the label. Itwas impossible, but it was true.
These two violins were absolutely identical.Now here's our star to tell you about

(26:37):
tomorrow's final intriguing episode of this weekstory Tomorrow. Well, let's a wind
up, but believe me, andwind up with a real twist. Join
us won't you Yours Truly Johnny Dollar. Yours Truly Johnny Dollar, starring Bob

(27:03):
Bailey, is transcribed in Hollywood.Written by Sam Dawson. It is produced
and directed by Jack Johnstone. Besure to join us tomorrow night, same
time and station for the next excitingepisode of Yours Truly Johnny Dollar. Roy
Rowan speaking welcome back. Well,I'm I was curious whether anyone would seriously

(28:26):
call their club the Hangover Club,and I found out there isn't indeed an
establishment by the name by that namein London. And uh, it looks
like Johnny's got some good instincts andsands to double his expense account, which
is always substantial, as well ashis commission on the case if he's able

(28:51):
to prove someone did it other thanthe promoter. Well, there's something definitely
fishy with this case, and we'regoing to find out what it is on
Friday. Now we turn to listenercomments and feedback, starting with Rebecca,
who says, Adam, I've beenlistening on and off since you began podcasting.
I love the app and often usedit for bedtime stories. Well,
thanks so much, appreciate your support. Have an email from a listener in

(29:14):
Washington State, who mentions that hesubscribes to several podcasts, including many of
the old ones, and he says, I may load a chunk of Great
Detectors or several Johnny dollars onto myiPhone I've had for offline listening. I
also bought two apps for Dragging Itand Great Detectors, and often listen that
way using Wi Fi over and sellyour liar data when in the car or

(29:36):
walking. One thing I will mentionfor listeners if you do have the app,
you can press the press the staroption and you can download those on
your app and be able to listento them offline, so that it's not

(29:56):
a cumbersome where you're not dependent ona Wi Fi connection, if that's a
concern. But anyway, he continues, in the beginning, I listened to
random episodes and didn't care about originalorder. Lately, I've been listening to
in order of your original broadcast.As such, if you're discussing listener drive

(30:18):
or some other special type today,I won't hear for years. I don't
use Facebook or Twitter much, butdo allow Great Detectors on both every few
days, but that can be clutteredlooking for your items and the mass of
other tweets and Facebook stuff. Perhapsmy confusion is how should a new follower

(30:40):
proceed through the episodes and still hearnew or special offense things. Maybe there's
already an answer somewhere that I ammissing. Okay, and thanks so much
for the question, Woddie, andI think this is a good general question.
I send him a reply, because, like you said, might not
get it if we just talk aboutit on the show. But what I

(31:02):
would say, if you're new tothe program and you want to go back
through the archives, I'd recommend listeningto our Tuesday program, whatever that is.
Usually they're short. We did haveJeff Reagan go about thirty three weeks,
but that was just because I foundout there were more episodes after than

(31:27):
I knew about originally, after Ihad already decided I was going to do
the series. Most of them,particularly recently, have been fourteen weeks or
last. So you listen on Tuesdaysand you can catch what the current stuff
is going on and any sort ofcampaigns, and then just go back through
the old ones. To be honest, this is probably a good time to

(31:48):
start listening, even to other shows. We're still about a couple of weeks
away to get from getting our newThursday show. So I think that either
listen on Tuesdays or just listen toall the new shows and then work your
way back through the old shows atyour leisure. That would probably be my

(32:10):
favorite approach, depending on how manyepisodes I had to download. I know
that I did that with one ofAndrews podcasts. I was listening to his
podcast of Tales at the Texas Rangers, and I got behind and I started
listening to the shows that he wasthen currently doing. I'd listen to one

(32:34):
of those and then I would listento one or more of the previous shows
to see if I'd get caught up, and that way keep in touch with
what was currently going on with Talesof the Texas Rangers. So that would
be my recommendation. And thanks somuch for the email. We also received
this from a Gainner who says,I love all your shows. You do

(32:55):
a wonderful job. It reminds mewhen I was growing up. Dan and
I would shut the TV off andhe would play these old time shows for
me, very fond memories. Well, we're glad to revive those memories for
you. And help other listeners makenew ones. Well, that'll do it
for today. We will be backtomorrow with another one of Edgar Allen Poe's

(33:17):
