Nutty Professor to Debut in Nashville

The Nutty Professor Musical, Directed by Jerry Lewis, Will Debut in Nashville. [Playbill.com] - The Nutty Professor, a new musical based on the famed 1963 Jerry Lewis film of the same name, will make its world premiere July 24-Aug. 19 in Nashville at the Tennessee Performing Arts Center's James K. Polk Theater. Directed by Jerry Lewis, the cast will be headed by Michael Andrew as Professor Julius Kelp.

The CBS Radio Mystery Theater on the Web

The CBS Radio Mystery Theater is one of my favorite old time radio shows. When I was a young man, I worked at a CBS Affiliate that carried the program, so I got to listen every evening.

All 1399 episodes are now available for free at The CBS Radio Mystery Theater site. I think you'll like them. Take a look when you get the chance.

Thanks For Listening

It's been one of the pleasures of my life to share these great old radio shows with you over the past few years. I'm so grateful to all of you who have listened, and especially to those who have gotten in touch.

As you've probably noticed, these episodes have gotten fewer and farther between over recent months. I find that I have too many competing priorities. So I've decided to put an end to my Podcasting activities, at least for the time being. I will still continue to be active online elsewhere, and may be posting items of interest here from time to time as well. If you're interested in keeping up with my activities, here are some links.

In case you're interested, you can find the remaining episodes of the Martin and Lewis radio show on the Internet Archives. Click here for that. I believe there are about half a dozen episodes that we didn't get to, beginning with Jeff Chandler's second appearance.

I would also like to take this opportunity to express, once again, my heartfelt thanks to Meredith Montanez for her help with this podcast over the past year or two. Her research and encouragement kept us online a lot longer than would have otherwise been likely.

The archives of past shows will remain here on the site for as long as Blogger allows.

Thanks again for listening, and I hope that our paths will cross again. In the meantime, make time to laugh, won't you? :)

Best,

Brian

Christmas with Frank and Dean

Around this time of year I'm sometimes asked to recommend my favorite Christmas albums by Dean Martin and others. I'll be getting a podcast episode out with a more thorough review, but here are a few suggestions for starters. These are the records by Dino, Frank Sinatra and The Rat Pack that you're most likely to find me playing over the coming weeks. Many of them are available as MP3 downloads, as well as CDs.
