The biggest names in Hollywood and Broadway recorded for AFRS during the war years, The American Forces Network can trace its origins back to May 26, 1942, when the War Department established the Armed Forces Radio Service (AFRS). The U.S. Army began broadcasting from London during World War II, using equipment and studio facilities borrowed from the British Broadcasting Corporation (BBC). The first transmission to U.S. troops began at 5:45 p.m. on July 4, 1943, and included less than five hours of recorded shows, a BBC news and sports broadcast. That day, Corporal Syl Binkin became the first U.S. Military broadcasters heard over the air. The signal was sent from London via telephone lines to five regional transmitters to reach U.S. troops in the United Kingdom as they prepared for the inevitable invasion of Nazi-occupied Europe. Fearing competition for civilian audiences the BBC initially tried to impose restrictions on AFN broadcasts within Britain (transmissions were only allowed from American Bases outside London and were limited to 50 watts of transmission power) and a minimum quota of British produced programming had to be carried. Nevertheless AFN programmes were widely enjoyed by the British civilian listeners who could receive them and once AFN operations transferred to continental Europe (shortly after D-Day) AFN were able to broadcast with little restriction with programmes available to civilian audiences across most of Europe (including Britain) after dark. As D-Day approached, the network joined with the BBC and the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation to develop programs especially for the Allied Expeditionary Forces. Mobile stations, complete with personnel, broadcasting equipment, and a record library were deployed to broadcast music and news to troops in the field. The mobile stations reported on front line activities and fed the news reports back to studio locations in London. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Entertainment Radio Stations Live 24/7 Sherlock Holmes/CBS Radio Mystery Theater https://live365.com/station/Sherlock-Holmes-Classic-Radio--a91441 https://live365.com/station/CBS-Radio-Mystery-Theater-a57491 ----------------------------------------------------------------------------

Western Films as America's origin story, and why they sound the way they do. Featuring Gary Farmer, Rion Amilcar Scott, Jeff Grace and Kathryn Kalinak. ------------------Playlist of Western Film Scores:SPOTIFY  | YOUTUBE------------------In this episode we investigate western film scores from early westerns and singing cowboys (Gene Autry, Roy Rogers, Herb Jeffries) to the John Ford Era (Tiomkin, Hageman, Steiner and Bernstein) to Ennio Morricone to Neil Young's score for Dead Man and beyond.

We go back in time to 1939 to watch “Harlem Rides the Range”. The Producer and Director Richard C. Kahn made low budget films as the second movie on a double feature. “Harlem Rides the Range” is among a small group of movies featuring an all black cast. Riding together, Herb Jeffries as Bob Blake and Lucius Brooks as Dusty fight crime on the range. A catchphrase was “men of action blaze a trail of love and lead as law and order comes to the old west”. Mr. Jeffries’ movie career was from the 1930’s into the 1970’s. He was a successful singer with several musical groups including Louis Armstrong and Duke Ellington. Members of the cast include F.E. Miller as Slim Perkins (the Cook), Artie Young as Miss Margaret Dennison and the villain Bradley played by Clarence Brooks. The Four Tones supply a musical backdrop for Mr. Jeffries’ singing. We must not forget Bob Blake’s beautiful horse “Stardusk”. The overall package is similar to many of the larger studio movies starring Gene Autry, Tex Ritter and others.This film along with a handful of other movies including “Harlem on the Prairie” 1937 and “Rhythm Rodeo” 1938 were successful. As a footnote, “Harlem on the Range” was shown on TV on December 1, 1939 on the New York City pioneer/experimental television station W2XBS. Enjoy and Happy Holidays.Here's the IMDB page for "Harlem Rides The Range"And you can watch this film for free on YouTube. Here's a link to a decent quality version and a very watchable transfer. There are about a dozen different versions on YouTube to chose from. There are about a dozen different versions on YouTube to chose from.

We continue today's minute with Gabby Johnson still making his speech before the congregation. Alan and Walt, along with guests Jim and Dwayne, try to figure out the derivation of all the words Gabby uses. Afterwards, Olson Johnson stands up and acknowledges the speech. In fact, he says he is happy all the children were there to hear such authentic frontier gibberish. He then goes on a monologue of his own, reminding the citizens of what their forefathers went through to establish their town. He reminds them about crossing the prairie, fighting Indians, fought drought, fought locusts and fought Dix. He then jumps to, "Remember Richard Dix?!" He concludes with a reminder they did not give up then and he believes they will not give up now. We end the minute with some historical discussion about the makeup of the West, Herb Jeffries, and how we all grew up wanting to either be Sheriff Bart or the Waco Kid. Today's guests: Jim Dunham started his career in Hollywood doing cowboy stunt shows and has been a cowboy at heart ever since. He is a historian, artist, poet and performer as well as being a quick draw specialists and a trick gun artists. He currently works at the Booth Western Art Museum, a Smithsonian affiliate world class museum in Cartersville, Georgia. Dwayne Towns is a black cowboy, a Buffalo Soldier reenactor and an aficionado of black cowboy history in the old west. We hope you enjoyed today's episode.

Crime novelist Jake Hinkson joins us to discuss his articles about film noir and his other writing. We begin with the upcoming NOIR CITY Chicago festival, featuring a special anniversary screening of L.A. Confidential with author James Ellroy in person, plus some other hard-hitting heist films (2:25).

Two of Jake's NOIR CITY profiles focus on lesser-known actors with sad stories off-screen as well as on. We talk about the dramatic and scandalous life of Detour star Tom Neal (17:50) and the ill-fated Peggie Castle, who made striking impressions with great noir performances in 99 River Street and I, The Jury (33:10).

John Coleman and Art Kirsch, of Celebrating Act 2™ probe Hollywood Historian Manny Pacheco about the short-lived trend of Singing Cowboys in film and TV. While Roy Rogers and Gene Autry are most famous because they transitioned to TV many other great names are discussed including Tex Ritter, Monte Hale and Eddie Dean. Their musical ability, songwriting skills and place in the history of music are talked about and John waxes poetic about Herb Jeffries, the 'Bronze Buckaroo' who was the hero in numerous 'Race Film' westerns made for black audiences and almost unknown to whites of the 40's and 50's. You don't have to be over 50 to appreciate all this nostalgia since Manny put it all into perspective for you!
