I'm only 20 years old, but
I love OTR! I've been a fan
for
the past 7 years, a listener
of YUSA for the past year,
and I have a collection of
over 150 radio shows! To me,
Suspense, Inner Sanctum &
The Shadow will always be
important for introducing
me to OTR but when I grew
to like Jack Benny, Stan Freberg,
Bob & Ray, Duffy's Tavern,
Lux Radio Theater, Johnny
Dollar and the Mercury Theater
I became a true OTR fanatic!
I hope YUSA enjoys a long
life and that I can be here
to enjoy it with them!

I'm so glad I've finally found
a place to listen to old time
radio all the time. I'm only
17 so I've never heard it
except on tapes. I've got
about twelve tapes of radio
shows, mostly Burns and Allen
and Jack Benny. Thanks for
doing such a great job. Keep
it up!

Your page was referenced in
an article "Killing the Book,
But Reviving Old-Time Radio"
in the 8/29/98 issue of World
Magazine. Couldn't resist
checking out your site.
Occasionally, when traveling,
I'll come across an AM station
that is broadcasting OTR and
spend an hour or so with them,
remembering good times with
the family many years ago.
Thanks for what you are doing.
I'm going to try to get our
local cable company to subscribe
to OTR.

Delightful! Brings back fond
memories of life before the
tube (TV that is). Three generations
of the family sitting on the
front porch, eating home-made
icecream, listening to those
creative shows on the Stromberg-Carlson
radio. Ironic that modern
technology has revived what
was in it's own time a victim
of advancing technology.
Outstanding! You have our
full support!

Without question, the existence
of YUSA makes the cost of
equipment necessary to connect
worth every penny. It is the
best deal in America today.
I encourage those not subscribing
to do so and scratch out that
something extra if possible.

I am in my 50's so I remember
most of your old radio shows
and it is good to hear them
again. I am glad to hear a

Here in the Little Rock area
there is no station that plays

I love the old mysteries,
but the comedies are also
great.
I will visit your site and
keep on checking you out,
I am currently un-employed,
so I am keeping a tight reign
on the funds. I am definetly
interested in acquiring some
of these programs but I would
want to purchase them in CD

Our daily, The Oregonian,
had an article about radio
on the Internet (August 11,
1998) which led me to this
wonderful old-time radio site.
I have a contribution to Bill
Bragg's museum: my 1976 book,
I Love Radio by Shel Gloger,
a guidebook to 50 radio stations
in the San Francisco area
with the logos of all the
stations and articles about
the history of USA radio.
Does the museum have a copy?
Let me know, please. If you
don't, I'll send a copy. Since
then, I've been publishing
books on other subjects because,
my first love, radio, doesn't
sell enough in book form.
My latest is called Jesus
Mishegahs: The Jewish Xmas
Book, by Yoesh Gloger. (Controversial
religious subjects for books
sell very well. Go figure.
Life isn't fair.) My old radio
fans may wish to see how my
graphics and other book-making
stuff have developed since
the radio book. Take a look
at that book's homesite: (www.bookzone.com/topshelf/jesusm.html)

OK, Bill--
I don't know how you spend
your weekends, but I DO know
one thing for sure--that address
you gave out over the air
tonight does NOT belong to
the White House!
Mail.com is a web-based E-mail
service. ANYONE can give themselves
the name "thewhitehouse@mail.com"
as long as someone else hasn't
already taken it! I could
call myself "presidentclinton@mail.com"
if I wanted to.
Besides, anyone that knows
ANYTHING about the internet
knows that all the government
domain names in Washington,
DC end with "gov"
So don't any of you listeners
out there believe a WORD of
it! It ain't even April Fool's

Taped it later in the 80's

on getting YUSA's domain name

Enjoy you programming. I am
able to pick up your broadcast
in my car radio at 107.3 FM,
but only at certain locations
on clear nights. Do you have
any closer broadcast locations
to the Harrisburg area?

I like your program. I'm old
at radio, but new at computers,
and I get a lot of interupted
sound and a rebuffering message.
Hopefully, I'll soon find
out what to do about that.
Perhaps I downloaded realaudio
wrong.
Anyhow, I'm a real pleased
listener anyhow.

Greetings everyone--
Great to see "Yet another
friend of Scott Becker's"
message. It is good to know
that there are at least two
of them. We can all use as
many as we can get. Let's
see Bill Bragg has a million
friends and then there are
two ... hmmm..interesting
comparison there.
Let me also say that it is
good that even people that
don't like Bill Bragg just
can't help but listen to him.
That speaks volumes. Personally,
if I don't like someone I
sure don't waste my time listening
to them. But he is entertaining
isn't he?
I'd like to say that I don't
speak for Bill in any official
(or unofficial for that matter)
capacity. He is more than
capable to do that for himself
if he wishes but frankly folks
he is too busy moving the
station into the future and
entertaining all of us happy
listeners (and not making
a DIME off of it...can Scott
Becker admit to THAT?) Personally,
I'd love to know how much
(if anything) Scott was being
paid to set up that little
shortwave operation done in
the Caribbean? Care to fill
us in on that "Friend"?
I wouldn't hold your breath
re: Bill asking your friend
to appear as a guest on this
next Sunday Live show or any
live show because that's all
stale water under the dam.
We won the battle (or hadn't
you noticed?) so we're moving
on.
True Bill and Scott had their
falling out unfortunately
that is irrelevant to what
Scott did AFTER that: in particular
the stealing of our domain
name.
Personally I am VERY thankful
and appreciative that Scott
showed Bill the importance
of the Internet. I believe
Bill reaches millions (no...billions
more people on the Net than
he could ever have reached
via shortwave) so THANKS SCOTT!!
I'll even send you a "I Love
Bill Bragg" T-shirt if you
like. Unfortunately some people
don't realize that all of
us that do good things for
YUSA do so as VOLUNTEERS.
That means we don't get PAID
and we don't retain any hold
over whatever we do for the
station. If you expect that
then you're in the wrong place.
This might be a fine point
but it is a crucial point.
Whatever Scott did for the
station he had to do voluntarily
and thus all ownership became
that of the station (and Bill
Bragg indirectly since Bill
really IS the station). We
listeners may come and go
but the true heart of the
station is Bill.
Therefore it doesn't matter
who signed their name when
the domain site was created
it was done for the station
and thus was owned by Mr.
Bragg. It's a shame Scott
didn't realize this in the
first place. Perhaps he could
have saved himself a lot of
grief and legal costs.
This is the last word I am
going to write on this topic
because I doubt it will sway
any of Mr. Becker's friends
but frankly I have to go listen
to some Jack Benny now!
Thanks Bill Bragg for putting
this station on the Internet
where I can listen to it everyday!

ANOTHER friend of Mr. Becker -
USA
I heard about that "big surprise"
you had a few weeks ago. I've
been reading all the comments
from your loyal listeners,
and just had to put in my
2 cents worth.
The only thing your listeners
know about the domain dispute
is one side of the story--YOUR
SIDE. And from what I've heard,
you make Scott out to be the
most underhanded, crooked,
evil, bad guy that ever came
through Dodge City (or Richardson
Texas, as the case may be).
Come on, Bill--NOBODY could
be THAT awful!
In the past few months, I've
never once heard you talk
about all the work Scott did
for you and your organization
to help you get your web site
running--back before you guys
had that big Texas-size falling
out last fall.
So here's a challage for you
Bill. And it's really a big
one. Why don't you invite
Scott to be on your Sunday
night show and let him tell
his side of this dispute and
how it all got started? Or
are you afraid to let listeners
hear all the details of what
REALLY happened?
Remember Yesterday USA listeners,
just because you can get a
judge to rule on you side
doesn't necessarily mean you're
right!

I just found this site. I

and when I was just old enough
to appreciate what a gem old
radio was, it quickly gave
way to the new and exciting
medium of TV(bah humbug)I
remember sitting in front
of the old cathedral style
RCA and listening to such
shows as, The Shadow, Gang
Busters, Fibber Magee and
Molly, The Great Gildersleeve,
etc. I'm so glad there is
a place where I can hear those
old shows again. I have an
old Philco model 38, that
still works. Thank You;

To All Friends of Mr. Becker-
Rest assured no one at YUSA
has any free time to waste
sending out any "hate mail"
to any of you out there. And
I'd like to take this opportunity
to welcome you all to come
and enjoy this web site. We
do not discriminate anyone.
But PLEASE don't insult our
intelligences by trying to
make your friend out as the
one wronged in this affair.
He knew exactly what he was
doing and that those actions
would hurt the station. This
has been proven by a court
of law (of course this isn't
the first time the law has
come down against your friend,
now is it?).
But let's put all that behind
us and enjoy the great shows
that we all love.

Hey there Bill--
I see that you (or one of
your associates) didn't have
the courage to leave my other
message up on your page. Don't
you believe in the free exchange
of ideas? That's an American
value too, ya know!
Sure--I could post my real

subject myself to all kinds
of hate mail from your devoted
listeners that for some unknown
reason think Bill Bragg is
so perfect that he could do
no wrong.
I like old-time radio and
TV as much as anyone, but
the world of "good guys" that
wear white hats and "bad guys"
that always wear black and
do nothing but evil is pure
Hollywood fiction. NO ONE
is totally good or bad. And
there are two sides to EVERY
story--even THIS one!
Think about it, folks!

Hi Bill-
Wanted to throw my two cents
worth into this "discussion"
because I love this station
and can't stand hearing it
put down (don't much care
for people stomping on the
flag either).
To the concerned woman who
feels Bill is inappropriately
using "Bigbird"'s name rest
assured Bill Bragg would not
hesitate to give (note the
word GIVE) that domain name
up freely if any of the people
who sincerely had a hand in
creating Sesame Street (Children's
Television Workshop or Jim
Henson's Organization, etc.)
were to ask him for it. He
is an honorable man. He isn't
trying to make a buck from
the name of Bigbird. Wish
I could say the same about
certain other folks. End of
discussion.
Thanks Bill for letting me
get that off my chest.
P.S. I'm glad YUSA caters
to the great old-time radio
and isn't wall-to-wall music.
If it's music shows you want
I guess you'll just have to
look elsewhere. Try one of
those "toy" satellite dish
networks. We rule the Internet!
