Let me say a few words about who should really take credit for this
book and the two volumes that will soon follow it. It all began
over twenty five years ago when I was looking for some way to
enhance 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. I got to thinking about the many performers and technicians
who made them and were still around at that time. Why not call them
up, talk with them and then play the results on the air? To make a
long story short, I developed a sort of Hollywood and New York
underground and managed to get access to some hard to come by phone
numbers. Much to my surprise, those folks were all more than
willing to talk 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 over
eighty 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 it together.
