FAMOUS AMOS AND OTHER RADIOCATS

This is one of the three cats who live here. They are the benevolent king, the beautiful princess and the evil queen. You should not need to guess which one this is. He/She/It began as Famous Amos. We already had Andy, so when this one showed up we thought it appropriate to name it Amos. When it became apparent that Amos is a girl, she became Amy. I know of no old time radio show about Amy 'n' Andy but we do the best we can with what we have to work with.
Way back in the olden days of the '70s, when I was into ham radio, I checked into the 40 meter band every Sunday morning for the ORCATS meeting. That wasn't about felines, it stood for Old Radio Collectors and Traders Society. They traded reel to reel tapes with fellow members all over the country. One of the founders, whose signal got to me loud and clear from a Chicago suburb, is Ken Piletic, W9ZMR. He and the group are still going strong, now using Mp3 technology.
I thought of Ken and that group when I heard from Jon, who sells OTR shows on CD. He calls his firm OTRCat. That apprently stands for Old Time Radio Catalog. He does have a feline in his logo. Anybody who likes cats can't be all bad so I will give him a plug here. He does offer free samples for us to listen to. That appeals to my basically cheap nature. It was from his page that I got the Helen Trent episode I wrote about back in August. He also has some of the sermons of the big noise from the Little Flower if you're curious about what Father Coughlin sounded like. So take a look at what he has to offer.
