He used to listen to probably the same old time radio hour that's now satellite but was in L.A. then and sometimes when we were hanging out we'd listen together. He loved Johnny Dollar.Lallyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05310472614196384595noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4567168789336947243.post-3202648354517841362014-06-30T02:17:45.633-04:002014-06-30T02:17:45.633-04:00we suscribe to satellite radio and one of the most...we suscribe to satellite radio and one of the most delightful, one of my favorite, radio stations is CLASSIC RADIO where i've become a fan of great shows like YOUR'S TRULY, JOHNNY DOLLAR, a whodunnit featuring an insurance investigator and his 'action-packed expense account'. and the great BURNS AND ALLEN radio hour [i think that's what it was called]. allen was a comic genius and beautiful soul. i'm happy to find there are a few fans of her's around.richard lopezhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02331807433806381883noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4567168789336947243.post-21948574929319484732014-06-29T11:16:08.501-04:002014-06-29T11:16:08.501-04:00I didn't know that, great connection, thanks t...I didn't know that, great connection, thanks tpw...Lallyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05310472614196384595noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4567168789336947243.post-81122548888454872132014-06-29T11:13:01.159-04:002014-06-29T11:13:01.159-04:00Yes, she was wonderful & funny.
