It's been a busy day, time for relaxing music on "Music By Candlelight". This was an AFRTS in house production in a tradition that wend back to World War II. The show names changed but programs of symphonic music were there for a long long time.

Inner Sanctum - 1950
Halloween is coming... The best old time radio to program was the mysteries. AFRTS ran these shows well into the 1990s. A lot of the young troops had never heard such a thing, but with one TV channel it provided an alternative. There was an amazing collection at AFRTS-LA that kept being re-issued.
Inner Sanctum. "The Hitch-Hiking Corpse". A motorist driving west meets a strange and beautiful hitch-hiker. Interesting adaptation of the Lucille Fletcher story with subtle differences. Mercedes McCambridge, Everett Sloane.

The mailing list
Thanks for visiting!!!
You may have noticed it's been a while since you received an email update. Over the years the list got so big it wouldn't work. My suspicion is there may be a lot of people who are no longer with us or don't really care. I'd like to redo it and keep sending out updates. But I'm starting over again.
If you'd like to be included on the mailing list, just drop me a quick email Click here
It goes out every week or two. And the band plays on...
