[00:00:00] Speaker A: I am looking forward to venturing out to capture the sounds of the spring peepers of 2026. For now, this episode will have to do with the vintage calls of peepers featured throughout this Norm Nathan show from April 8th and 9th of 1994. And speaking of calls, we take a bunch and many fall under the unknown caller designation, hence the title, the Unknown Peeper. And we dive right in. Sally doing her impression of Barbra Streisand singing Second Hand Rose. Our first unknown caller asking about some of the game guests we've had on. Then there's Eleanor from the DC area on why no 800 number for WBZ. No kidding. She also asks her own Tri Bond question. And you have to hear that one. There's Julie in Michigan and Dan from Abington. Before we take calls on April 9th, we have Lavelle Diet and Norm talking peepers. Then there's another unknown caller, an unknown caller, Monica from the Hunt, and yes, you guessed it, an unknown caller. We are also treated to a couple of musical interludes. Norm telling us about some upcoming guests such as Jeff Pinsker with 20 questions, some dude who collects spark plugs, and another who will discuss clock making along with author Jamie Barnard in her book First Films. I should mention that we do get to hear a little from both Sparky and Ed Stone. The clock guy commercials are here too. Gold Bond with Eleanor Wallace of Xenia, Ohio. And if the regular Gold Bond wasn't enough, we will hear from Peggy Pergola of Kannapolis, North Carolina. All about extra strength Gold Bond. And lastly, the eternal question is asked. How does Dinger do it with Dave Dinger Ford in Braintree? Episode 282, the Unknown Peeper beckons its way to your ears in 3, 2 and 1. [00:01:58] Speaker B: My impression of Barbra Streisand singing Secondhand Rose. [00:02:05] Speaker C: Sure. [00:02:06] Speaker D: Okay, here goes. [00:02:08] Speaker C: Oh, hang on, everybody. [00:02:10] Speaker E: Father has a business strictly second hand Everything from matches to our baby grand Stuff in our apartment Came from daddy's store Everything I'm wearing has been worn before it's no wonder that I feel abused I never have a thing that ain't been used I'm wearing secondhand hats Secondhand hose that's why they call me Second Hand Second Hand Rose Even a piano in the parlor Daddy bought for 10 cents on the do Secondhand coils I'm wearing secondhand coils I never have a single thing that's new Even Jake the plumber he's the man I adore he had the nerve to tell me he's been married before everyone knows that on just secondhand rows from second Avenue. From second Avenue. [00:04:19] Speaker C: Very nice, Sally. [00:04:21] Speaker B: How do you like that? [00:04:22] Speaker C: Very nice. [00:04:22] Speaker E: I sang that down Sarasota for a group. [00:04:27] Speaker C: Well, I'm sure they appreciated it as much as we did, and I appreciate you doing that. [00:04:31] Speaker E: And listen, Norm. [00:04:33] Speaker C: Yes? [00:04:33] Speaker D: You keep a stiff upper lip. [00:04:35] Speaker C: I'll do the best I can. [00:04:36] Speaker D: And I want to give Jack and [00:04:38] Speaker E: Emilio an emotional hug. [00:04:41] Speaker C: Okay. They're accepting your emotional hug, and they're getting all excited about it. [00:04:45] Speaker B: Oh, they're like my children. [00:04:47] Speaker C: Okay. [00:04:48] Speaker D: Okay. [00:04:48] Speaker C: Okay, Sally. Take care. [00:04:50] Speaker F: Yeah. [00:04:50] Speaker C: Bye. [00:04:50] Speaker B: Bye. [00:04:51] Speaker C: Bye. Bye. [00:04:52] Speaker G: Now, when do you need immediate itch relief? [00:04:55] Speaker B: Get into bed and I'm laying there and I can't go to sleep. Right away is when it really gets worse. It gets to itching me and I just can't stand it. [00:05:02] Speaker G: Sometimes when you need effective immediate itch relief, you need new gold Bond medicated anti itch cream. Like Eleanor Wallace of Xenia, Ohio. [00:05:11] Speaker B: I put the gold Bond cream on and the itching almost immediately stops. It's really good. It gives me a feeling of soothing. It's a cool feeling. [00:05:21] Speaker G: New gold Bond medicated anti itch cream has a unique dual action medicated formula that contains what no other leading anti itch cream has. [00:05:28] Speaker C: 2. [00:05:29] Speaker G: Two proven pain relievers that stop the itch and stop the pain on contact. [00:05:33] Speaker B: I would not buy anything else but Gold Bond cream. It really works well and takes the itching out and it gives me great relief. And I do go to sleep and have a good night's sleep. [00:05:45] Speaker C: Thank you. [00:05:45] Speaker D: I was a little choked up about that woman at North Angel. [00:05:49] Speaker C: Yeah. Oh, boy. That's. [00:05:51] Speaker D: That's nice philosophy. [00:05:53] Speaker C: Yeah. It surprised me that you could talk about her son and all of that stuff without, you know, and then she sounded fairly calm. I know underneath it all. I'm sure she was quite emotional about that. That was a tough, tough break. [00:06:10] Speaker D: I was wondering, a couple of weeks ago, you had someone on that had a family game that they made up, and I didn't write it down. I was wondering if you remember the name of it. [00:06:23] Speaker C: We've had a few games. [00:06:24] Speaker D: It was like a question answer. And it was interesting. And it might have. [00:06:30] Speaker C: Might have been the boy. I always forget the name. Oh, Dearing Passages is that was a game in a bottle. [00:06:41] Speaker D: That's what it was. [00:06:42] Speaker C: That's what you pull out the bottom of the bottle, the big side. [00:06:45] Speaker D: Is it the first daring. [00:06:47] Speaker C: Is it daring? D, A R I N G. Daring passages. Daring passages. Yes. We're gonna. We'll have him on again. He. I thought he was. He was fun. And we will. This next week or two, we'll have also some other game people on that as people have vetted games and we'll play them on the air and they. They give copies of their games to people who win. This gives me a good chance to mention Tribond, which was another game that we had, and the Tribon, which was you. You. You had to guess what. Three things. He named three things and what did they have in common? I should give you an example of that, but offhand, I can't. I can't think of one. But a lot of people won. I think we had. We had close to 30 winners. And on Monday, the. All the games will be going on for those people who won and haven't gotten it. That's the reason they. They'll be going. They're all packaged and ready to go, and they'll be sent out by UPS on Monday. But we do that kind of stuff from time to time. I'm glad you like that, because the. [00:07:50] Speaker D: During passage, it sounded interesting because the other night there was a somebody else on with another game and they were saying it. I didn't like it. It was think it, say it. And it was. It was like you'd say, oh, that's off the wall. And you're supposed to figure, what? That barely pay my bill. Why am I calling Boston at this hour of the morning? [00:08:11] Speaker C: I'm awfully glad you spoke to me about that. [00:08:15] Speaker D: And I said, but I'm a norm, Nathan groupie. [00:08:18] Speaker C: Are you making this up? [00:08:19] Speaker D: Of course. [00:08:20] Speaker C: Oh, well, I'm so glad, because I was. [00:08:22] Speaker D: No, but my phone bill is not the best and any contributions will be welcome because as we've gone through before, Westinghouse, they don't have their 800 number and they never will. [00:08:39] Speaker C: No, you can bet your life on that. [00:08:42] Speaker D: And I wanted to make one comment I didn't hear the first lady who spoke and the second one who tried to encourage her. I did come in about that time, and I was going to say the woman who has had all the tragedies, which I didn't hear. And if she could get out and do some volunteer work, it'd be one of the best things to get her mind away from her own tragedy. [00:09:17] Speaker C: By helping others. [00:09:18] Speaker D: By helping others. I found it happens in my life and I've seen it happen to so many people. They say, oh, why didn't I try this before? Because then they see no matter how wretched we are, particularly nowadays, it's always been true. There's so many people that need help. And I'm sure she would be very good for whatever type of things you could work with. Now, I did have one of those three. Three in a row or whatever you call it. How are these similar? A Playboy, a Night Owl and Norm Nathan. [00:10:04] Speaker C: Oh, I'm sorry. You were giving me the quiz. I thought it was something I just dreamed of. Okay, let's see. What, what, what? A night out at Playboy. [00:10:15] Speaker D: No. Playboy, Night Owl and Norm, neighbor. [00:10:18] Speaker C: Oh, it has to be in that order. Does it? [00:10:19] Speaker B: No. [00:10:20] Speaker C: Okay, I Playboy, Playboy, next to you [00:10:24] Speaker D: for fear you might get upset. [00:10:28] Speaker C: Okay. A Playboy, a night out. [00:10:31] Speaker D: Oh, no, no. A Playboy, a Hoot Owl. I'll change the name so you'll understand it. [00:10:36] Speaker C: Hoot Owl, A Playboy, Hoot Owl and Norman and me. Okay, A Playboy, a Hoot Owl. Oh, I thought you said a night out. You said a Hoot Owl. No. [00:10:48] Speaker B: Okay, I'll tell you. [00:10:50] Speaker C: Okay. [00:10:50] Speaker D: They all stay up all night. [00:10:53] Speaker C: You know, that is one of these funniest. [00:10:58] Speaker D: But it's true. [00:11:01] Speaker C: Oh. Oh, I don't know, Eleanor, you're so adorable. It's hard to tell you that. That is the raunchiest joke. No, it's not. Raunchy. Raunchy was the wrong word. [00:11:11] Speaker D: No, no. [00:11:12] Speaker C: How about the lousiest joke I ever heard? [00:11:17] Speaker D: It is not. You've heard much worse. [00:11:19] Speaker C: I actually have. [00:11:19] Speaker D: Now, before I go, because the already gone over my limits, I heard, and it wasn't on your radio, so. Well, we won't even say, but it comes from Connecticut. [00:11:33] Speaker C: Okay. [00:11:34] Speaker D: Some man came on and it was a discussion of the health care plan. And he said, and I really believe this could very well be true, he said, my wife works for one of the largest health insurance companies here in Connecticut. He said, I won't mention the name, but they have been required by their company to come and view an hour long. I would call it propaganda movie, but a movie on health care. And I imagine it says if the other plan goes through, you'll all lose your job or whatever. Well, that was bad enough, but he said then the company demanded that they make up that hour overtime. In other words, they had to work another hour because they missed an hour [00:12:30] Speaker C: of their work because they went to a company propaganda movie. [00:12:33] Speaker D: Absolutely. [00:12:35] Speaker C: That sounds awful. [00:12:36] Speaker D: It does. And unfortunately it's quite believable because there's so much pressure. [00:12:43] Speaker C: There is. There is. There is tremendous pressure going on now. That's true, I would guess. And without getting too much involved in the whole the whole business. One day there will be a national health plan. I don't think there's any question. It's. It's anybody who's fighting, and it's just fighting against the tide. [00:13:00] Speaker D: Yeah. [00:13:01] Speaker C: There'll be differences, and it won't necessarily match up to what the president is going to be. [00:13:06] Speaker D: Pie in the sky, because who can afford, you know, the nation. [00:13:10] Speaker C: No, no. But I think. I think most people think that. That people ought to be protected in that manner with some kind of a health plan that will help everybody. There's no question about that. It's. It's. It's an. It's an idea. And the time has come for that idea to come through. It's a question of what the final form will be, and it'll be debated in Congress and. And there will be companies, like insurance companies will try to weaken it and [00:13:34] Speaker D: soften it and all that kind of stuff. Going to fight their fight. [00:13:37] Speaker C: Yeah. [00:13:37] Speaker D: So I must get on to this other. [00:13:40] Speaker C: Okay, I'm just gonna. I'm just gonna say that. So the final. The final thing will be that there will be a health plan going to start. [00:13:46] Speaker D: Your travel leadership. Like. [00:13:51] Speaker C: Like Dave Maynard, you mean? [00:13:52] Speaker B: Yeah. [00:13:53] Speaker C: Would you. Would you come on a trip with me, Ellen? [00:13:55] Speaker B: Absolutely. [00:13:56] Speaker D: Now, Dave Maynard sounds intriguing, but no way. I couldn't go with him. I'm not disloyal. [00:14:04] Speaker C: You're, you know, you're a lovely person. [00:14:06] Speaker D: Like, maybe up and down the Ipswich beach or. [00:14:10] Speaker C: Oh, the Ipswich river by canoe. [00:14:12] Speaker D: This is it. [00:14:13] Speaker C: Yeah. [00:14:14] Speaker F: Okay. [00:14:14] Speaker C: That would be nice. [00:14:15] Speaker D: Got me. I'll sign right up. [00:14:17] Speaker F: Yeah. [00:14:17] Speaker C: Okay. [00:14:17] Speaker F: We'll work. [00:14:18] Speaker D: All right. [00:14:18] Speaker C: We'll work through some kind. Maybe someplace something out your way. [00:14:22] Speaker D: Well, then again, there's the Potomac Canal. See, I'm from down around Washington and. And in Georgetown here runs this canal, which was used. George and I used to use it many times. It was, you know, for commerce. [00:14:41] Speaker C: Oh, yes, of course. What else? [00:14:43] Speaker D: But now very much upgraded for tourists. [00:14:47] Speaker C: Yeah. [00:14:48] Speaker D: So think of that. [00:14:49] Speaker C: That would be good. [00:14:50] Speaker D: That would be a lot to do down there. [00:14:53] Speaker C: We'll fashion some kind of a thing. [00:14:56] Speaker D: Yes. And make it cheap. [00:14:57] Speaker C: Oh, absolutely. [00:14:59] Speaker D: You know, like, bring your own lunch. Bring a loaf of bread and make your own. [00:15:06] Speaker F: Yeah. [00:15:06] Speaker C: Well, no, it'll be cheap because I happen to be that kind of a person. [00:15:11] Speaker D: I thought just the station was. Oh, dear, you really. [00:15:15] Speaker C: Well, they make all of us. They make all of us cheap, you know, I mean, if they were lavish with. [00:15:20] Speaker D: Did you ever think the horse could be part of this? [00:15:24] Speaker C: I would guess so. I. He's she's not. Oh, she's never been hitched up to a wagon. Otherwise, we could go that way. [00:15:30] Speaker D: Well, you've got to get her in training. [00:15:32] Speaker C: Yeah, because you could ride her. [00:15:34] Speaker D: I don't know if I'm going to live long enough to get down to Washington with your horse. [00:15:39] Speaker B: No offense to her. [00:15:40] Speaker C: Oh, you mean. Oh, you want to ride from here down to Washington on horseback? [00:15:45] Speaker D: No, with a horse and buggy. [00:15:49] Speaker C: With a horse and buggy. This horse. You know, in human terms. You know how old my horse is? [00:15:54] Speaker D: 104. [00:15:56] Speaker C: At least that. [00:15:57] Speaker D: Well, we'll take her on the train. [00:16:00] Speaker C: Okay. We'll take her on the night. We'll get her a sleeper and everything. I think. I think after all these years of good service, she deserves to travel in some kind of style. Maybe a luxury bus or something on all over. [00:16:12] Speaker D: Oh, you could get her a. What do they call the old Fashioned where you slept on the train? [00:16:19] Speaker C: The sleeper. [00:16:20] Speaker D: Yeah. In fact, get her a whole car. [00:16:24] Speaker C: Oh, she. She'd need a little larger sleeper than the most of us would need. Yeah, we'll work some of our. But I think you're onto something, Eleanor, and I'm excited about it. [00:16:34] Speaker D: Well, think it over and make plans because, you know, who knows how long I have before it's too late? [00:16:41] Speaker C: Oh, stop talking that. [00:16:43] Speaker D: I'm talking about my feet. They hurt. [00:16:45] Speaker C: Oh, I see. Okay. Okay. That's different. [00:16:48] Speaker D: I wish you the best. And next time it'll be, let's say, around the 4th of July, because I've overdrawn for the last two months. [00:16:59] Speaker C: Oh, you make me feel badly, but I'm. You make me feel good. [00:17:02] Speaker D: Money. [00:17:03] Speaker C: Fair enough. That's an easy way out. I don't have to pick out colors of anything. I don't want material. Just send money. This will overcome your guilt, and I need that. You're absolutely right. [00:17:15] Speaker D: Well, good night. Or morning. [00:17:17] Speaker C: Good night. Take care, Alan. Or. [00:17:19] Speaker B: Thank you. [00:17:20] Speaker C: Okay, dear. [00:17:21] Speaker F: Bye. [00:17:21] Speaker D: Bye. [00:17:22] Speaker B: Bye. [00:17:22] Speaker C: She's a silly lady. And I. And as I told you before, I like silly people. They're my kind of people. Okay. Hey, Julie in Michigan, Are you a silly person, too? [00:17:32] Speaker B: Well, I was just going to say what an introduction that is. Who wouldn't be silly at this hour of the morning after listening to a game that has you laughing out loud? [00:17:43] Speaker C: Oh, that's nice. I'm glad you said that. You're okay, Julie. [00:17:46] Speaker B: That was a wonderful game tonight. I usually try to keep track of who's playing, but sometimes I have to count on my fingers how many Times how many names get mentioned to go around the circle? Because I don't get quite the impression as I did tonight. But tonight it was like. I know. John. Oh, John and Carrie. Aren't they sweet? And then there was Mary and Lynn and Jack and Tony and Emilio. [00:18:12] Speaker C: Hey, you got them all. [00:18:14] Speaker B: I know because I could picture each [00:18:16] Speaker F: one of them tonight. [00:18:18] Speaker B: There's only one drawback. [00:18:20] Speaker C: Yeah? [00:18:21] Speaker B: I begin to laugh out loud. [00:18:23] Speaker C: And when I do, that's bad. [00:18:25] Speaker B: That wakes up my dog and she thinks that's a cue. Go outside, you're wide awake. So then I have to tell her, no, you can't go until the news comes. [00:18:37] Speaker C: Now, what kind of a. What kind of a dog you have? [00:18:39] Speaker B: This is a miniature schnauzer. Oh. [00:18:42] Speaker C: A little guy. [00:18:44] Speaker B: And she thinks she rules the roof. [00:18:46] Speaker C: She probably does. [00:18:48] Speaker B: Well, yes, she probably does. Let me ask you this. Yes, I understand you're going to be [00:18:53] Speaker C: on all next week except for a couple of nights. [00:18:56] Speaker B: Oh, what night? [00:18:57] Speaker C: Monday and Tuesday night. It won't be on. [00:18:59] Speaker B: Oh, good. I have to know when I can sleep. That's my problem. When I know I have to do my day job. I have to go to bed early. My friends think I'm crazy when I say I have to go to bed early over the weekend so I can wake up in the middle of the night. [00:19:16] Speaker C: You're lovely. That is a very nice thing to say, Julie, and I really appreciate that. [00:19:21] Speaker B: I want to tell you this is been a wonderful night. Roberta will be in my prayers this weekend especially. Sally has a beautiful voice. Eleanor's right about the phone bill, but it's worth it. I mean, it's just been one after the other. [00:19:38] Speaker C: Oh, thank you very much, Julia. Okay. [00:19:40] Speaker B: Are you gonna have any games next week besides Friday? [00:19:43] Speaker C: I think. I think we. Yes. I think we're gonna have the music quiz. Plus, I think. I think we're going to have the. Another. Well, I forget which one. But it'll be another game thing and we'll give away games as prizes. But that should be coming up in the next week or so. I think maybe next. Next weekend? I think so. [00:20:04] Speaker D: Okay. [00:20:05] Speaker B: Weekends are great. Now, I understand 12:30 is the music game on Friday. [00:20:11] Speaker C: Yes. [00:20:12] Speaker B: You don't. Is it going to be like 12:30? 30 if you do anything else. Or it's gonna be 3O'. Clock. [00:20:18] Speaker C: No, it'll be 12:30. [00:20:19] Speaker B: Okay, good. [00:20:20] Speaker C: Normally it's right at midnight, but see, Tony Nesbitt books, all this stuff. [00:20:25] Speaker F: He. [00:20:25] Speaker C: He lines up a guest. So he had a guest already lined up for for midnight. So we'll start that a half hour later. That's not Friday. I think he said it'll be Thursday night. I think. [00:20:35] Speaker B: Oh, maybe Thursday going into Friday morning. [00:20:38] Speaker C: Yes, that's right. That's right. [00:20:39] Speaker B: I think that's what. [00:20:40] Speaker C: And it's somewhere along the line there'll be another regular game show like Tribond or Geograph or something like that. I forget which one. He's got something scheduled. [00:20:50] Speaker B: Okay, good. Well, I'll plan on that. I just want to tell you, I don't want to hear you fellas knocking the Red Sox. I listened all during spring training. Maybe it was Bob saying, you know, oh, they got so many older ones and, oh, they didn't get this and they didn't get that. And then what happens when Detroit goes in there to open the season? You sweep them right off the map. [00:21:14] Speaker C: I know that wasn't nice, it wasn't polite, but we're kind of glad they did. [00:21:20] Speaker B: I'm sure you are. Well, you know, it's always comforting when you're losing to know that someone else is happy over it. [00:21:27] Speaker C: Yeah. Detroit has not won a game yet. They lost again. [00:21:30] Speaker D: I know. [00:21:30] Speaker B: Don't remind me. Actually, I'm a die Hard cup and have been for many years. That used to be my stomping ground in Chicago. [00:21:39] Speaker C: Oh, yeah. [00:21:40] Speaker B: And so I'm used to losing. [00:21:42] Speaker C: Yeah. Their record is 1 in 3 so far this year. [00:21:46] Speaker B: Right, right. But I've been following them for nigh on to many years when I grew up in Wisconsin. [00:21:53] Speaker C: Okay. They did, they did win. They shut out Montreal this past day. They beat the. Oh, did they beat the experts? Yeah, four to nothing. That was. Let me see. That would have been their first win because they lost the three previous games and they tied. [00:22:09] Speaker B: Well, they tied in the. The Crosstown Classic yesterday with the White Sox. [00:22:15] Speaker G: Oh, it's. [00:22:16] Speaker C: It's kind of funny to look at, at the. The team standings this time of the year because, for example, team, let me see, like Florida, which is won one and lost two, is already. Oh, no, it's just. No, it's just two and a half games behind. I thought it was more than that. But to be. Yeah, you know how it is, Norm, [00:22:41] Speaker B: when you get behind. [00:22:42] Speaker C: I know what I'm going. Oh, but the Detroit is four games out, right? Four games out. And this season only just started. [00:22:49] Speaker B: That's right. Well, listen, they've got an example from the Pistons. You know, we've already been through a really rough season. Actually, the Lions weren't all that great either. [00:23:02] Speaker C: Last fall. [00:23:04] Speaker B: So maybe this just isn't our year. [00:23:06] Speaker C: It's building the character of the folks around Detroit. [00:23:09] Speaker B: Now that's a wonderful way to look at it. Thanks a heap. [00:23:14] Speaker C: Thanks a lot for calling, Joey. [00:23:16] Speaker B: Let me know if you ever schedule that trip. [00:23:18] Speaker C: Okay? [00:23:19] Speaker B: I think Eleanor had a really good idea. [00:23:21] Speaker C: I will talk to you later. Thanks a lot. [00:23:23] Speaker F: Bye. [00:23:23] Speaker C: Bye. Julie. We'll take more calls. [00:23:25] Speaker G: If you need extra strength medication to treat itchy skin, you're not alone. [00:23:28] Speaker B: I had a heat rash.

The red carpet lease plan lets you drive a brand new Ford car or truck for just two years. Then return it for a new one. Keep it or walk away. Your choice. [00:25:01] Speaker F: Choice.

[00:25:27] Speaker G: Look for the big American flag. [00:25:30] Speaker C: The game we'll be playing this coming week will be the Wednesday night Thursday morning program. That will be Jeff Pinsker, 20 questions. He was with us once before and the game is fun. And the winners will receive copies of 20 Questions games. So that's, that's this coming week, Wednesday night into Thursday morning. Okay. Now let's go to, let's see, Dan in Abington. Hi. Good morning, Dan. [00:25:56] Speaker F: Good morning. How are you? [00:25:58] Speaker C: Fine, thank you. [00:25:59] Speaker F: I saw you last night at the Radio Classic and I wanted to give you a phone call. [00:26:03] Speaker C: Oh, well, thank you. I'm glad you were there. [00:26:05] Speaker F: Yeah. I don't want to make you feel any older than you than I am, but I'm 47 and I remember, I guess right after Fred B. Cole left the air, you were on right after Jess Kane, you know. [00:26:18] Speaker C: I guess that's right. [00:26:19] Speaker F: 10 and the new one. From 10 to whatever. [00:26:21] Speaker C: That's right. [00:26:21] Speaker F: My mother would always listen to you and I just enjoyed the repertoire between the two of you then. And you know, to see it last night, the, the ad libbing was wonderful. It just made the show. [00:26:32] Speaker C: Oh, that's. That's really nice you to say that, Dan. I really appreciate it. Of course, Dan. Jess and I worked together for so long. Either I preceded him by doing the all night show, or I followed him, or I was doing afternoon drive because he did the morning show just free for years and years. And it's, it's fun. We. We bump into each other every now and then. As a matter of fact, I think I'm going to ask him if he'll be on the show with us again this, this summer. He does Captain Andy on, on Showboat, that the North Shore Music Theater. So maybe just before, before the show goes on, when he has some time away from rehearsal and stuff, ask him to come on the show and we'll just talk about that whole period and all that kind of stuff. [00:27:16] Speaker F: You know, one thing that I found interesting last night in the audience there were an awful lot of visually impaired people. [00:27:21] Speaker C: Is that right? [00:27:22] Speaker F: Folks that were white canes and what have you. And when you think about it, it made a hell of a lot of sense because, you know, even if they weren't that old, I felt wonderful because I was like one of the youngest people there. And that doesn't happen too much anymore. But you know, radio is such a wonderful thing for them. I think you and I have something a little bit in common. I'm legally blind without my glasses, but I'm blessed that with them I have 2020 vision, you know, so I have kind of a bond with. [00:27:48] Speaker C: Oh, great. [00:27:49] Speaker F: That might have that, that kind of an impairment. And as I came in, if I drive to work every day, I pass this fellow who is blind. And he takes his 7 year old kid to the bus stop and every day I watch him do that little girl and they play ball and everything else and the bond is just absolutely beautiful. And I've always wanted to stop and say something to the fellow. And I think Tuesday, Wednesday of this week, the bus had just stopped, picked up his daughter. I pulled the car over, I went over, shook hands with the guy and I explained that I have a 14 year old and that he should consider himself blessed because my daughter would never have. I usually end up driving her to school when she misses the bus for setting her hair or something, you know, and he should just. Precious. Take these moments as Precious with a 7 year old. And when I went in last night, there weren't too many seats. We got there a little bit late and I sat down when the lights went up a little bit later, right behind me was the same fella. [00:28:45] Speaker H: Oh, really? [00:28:45] Speaker F: You know, so we had a chance to chat a bit. His daughter was there. [00:28:48] Speaker C: Isn't that a coincidence? [00:28:49] Speaker H: Yeah. [00:28:50] Speaker F: And I told him that from now on when I drive by, I'll give him two quick toots, you know, so that we made kind of a friendship and it was just. It's kind of nice when you get out of yourself a little bit. [00:29:00] Speaker C: Oh, I think that's lovely. You have the one 14 year old daughter. [00:29:03] Speaker F: That's right. And here's the one 7 year old. [00:29:05] Speaker C: Okay. Because I have two daughters and of course they both were 14 at one time, so. I know, I know how you feel. It's lovely to be. One of my greatest joys is being a father, which sounds kind of silly, but I really like that role in life. [00:29:19] Speaker F: Yeah. Particularly for a daughter. [00:29:22] Speaker C: Well, I guess I've never had sons. [00:29:24] Speaker F: I never have either. And I count myself lucky. [00:29:26] Speaker C: Okay. Well, I don't know, maybe. I don't know whether it's lucky or not. I have nothing to compare it with, but I do love the two kids. The two girls are really a whole lot of fun. And you're nice to call Dan. And I appreciate the fact that you're there last night, you know, they oversold. [00:29:41] Speaker H: Oh, yeah. [00:29:43] Speaker F: You know, I was very happy. Yeah. [00:29:45] Speaker C: Yeah. People were coming in and there were no signs. Seats because they sold too many tickets. [00:29:50] Speaker F: Well, I, I did go ahead of time Wednesday or Thursday night to, to pick the tickets up because I had been there last year and it was a sellout crowd, you know. [00:29:57] Speaker C: Yeah. [00:29:58] Speaker F: I hadn't got in last year. I swim over at the, the pool, the gym next door. So I You know, but. And I guess you folks all do it for gratis and it goes into the scholarship or whatever. [00:30:09] Speaker C: That's right. Yes, very nice. Hey, thanks for being there and thanks for calling. [00:30:13] Speaker F: Oh, thank you, sir. [00:30:14] Speaker C: Take care. Bye. Bye. Okay, it's almost time to say goodbye. Of course, the news will be coming along with Bill Lawrence and the whole WBZ crew in about a minute or so. And that's about all the time we'll have for calls now. But we have, let me see what we got. We got some interesting people coming up this week, this weekend, two kind of offbeat guys. One who collects, a man who collects spark plugs made before 1930. Again, as I mentioned earlier, that could be a fun interview. Then again, it could be a really boring one. I don't know. That's the fun of live radio. You just never know. And also, a man who knows everything there is to know about American clocks built in the early 1800s, including how to build them from scratch. Also over the weekend on Sunday, the author of First, a book called First Films, a woman named Jamie Barnard, who will talk about the very first movie roles of some of Hollywood's biggest stars. I think you'd be surprised to learn some of the first things that they ever did in movies quite removed from what they're doing today. She's also the New York Post film critic. Anyway, on behalf of Emilio Morata, our producer, and Tony Nesbitt and the lovely Marilyn Gorelnik and myself, the almost good looking Norm Nathan person, we'll see you tonight at 11. And it's always just so fun, just so much fun to have you with us. Bill Larson, the news coming along next. Rain, the peepers. Yeah, when you hear these peepers, these are guys, male peepers. And what they're doing is. How do you know they're males? Oh, because, you know, I know that stuff. I'm a country person. And what they're doing is they're screaming out for the females. They're saying, hey, you, baby, what do you say? You're pat of mine, sweetheart. And they want a mate. And this. Can you hear them? Well, you just heard them just shrinking their heads off. These are mating calls. This is a mating call. Yeah. [00:32:06] Speaker H: Let me, let me hear this mating call again. [00:32:08] Speaker C: Yeah, you know, see, they, they're all dressed up in their finest dudes. [00:32:14] Speaker H: Hey, step on over here a minute, baby. [00:32:15] Speaker C: I want to talk to you. When you say you Q with a little bit. I love the way you got the little mascara on you. [00:32:21] Speaker H: If that's a Mating call. [00:32:22] Speaker C: I'm fine. Fascinated by what's coming up. [00:32:25] Speaker F: No. [00:32:25] Speaker C: A lot of people hear that song, but they think they're crickets, but they're not. These are little tiny tree frogs only about an inch long, and this is the time they made. And again, it's the first sound that you hear of spring. And I play. I've been playing them every year for a long time. The other day, Bruce Swagler came up and borrowed our last year's crickets. My guess is that this will not [00:32:46] Speaker H: be the whole content of your show. [00:32:48] Speaker C: Well, no, no. We have some other things as well, too, but we'll kind of have the crickets kind of popping up from time to time. We're gonna have a guy who collects spark plugs, old spark plugs, and a guy who knows everything about American plaques built in the early 1800s. A real craftsman. And if this sounds like it may be a boring program, I suppose it may be. I don't know. You know, I love. The reason I love your show is [00:33:11] Speaker H: I go from health care and the [00:33:13] Speaker C: crime bill and caning and Singapore and budgets, and then we're gonna talk about peepers. I know we kind of simmered down a little thing. It's even more dramatic when I follow David Brudner because, of course, he's fixing up the entire world in his own way. And so when I. Come on, we don't try to fix up anything. Just make people laugh a little bit. Okay, I'll be looking for it. [00:33:37] Speaker H: Norm Nathan is next. [00:33:38] Speaker C: There is none better. And I mean, [00:33:43] Speaker F: the beepers, the. [00:33:44] Speaker C: Again, the first sound of spring. And I just love to hear them. They're on wetlands and bogs. A lot of people hear the sound, but they're not quite sure. They think they're crickets or something, but they're not. [00:33:53] Speaker H: The little. [00:33:54] Speaker C: Little tiny frogs. And I love the sound. And right now they're shrieking at their. At their very loudest because they're. They're looking for mates. They want a mate, which is kind of a nice custom that men have a lot. Male, whether they be frogs or people. If you listen closely, you can almost translate what they're saying. They're saying, hey, you with the leather skirt, the little mini skirt slid up the side with the. The opera hose and the spike heels. I want you tonight, sweetheart. Come over to my pad. Anyway, other things. We got some other things. What do you. What do you. What are you sighing about? I. I don't get that. [00:34:41] Speaker I: Some of the artwork is really beautiful. And then the names there was over the estimated amount of spark plugs made in the United States and in Europe was a little over 10,000. And in the collecting of spark plugs, you not only collect the spark plug, you collect the cabinets, the signs. Spark plug companies went to a great deal of expense to advertise their product. In early motoring, the cars had two predominant problems. One, spark plug fouling because of poor gas and poor oil substances. And the other were tires. And when you go through the early magazines, these are two predominant advertising modes. And tire advertising is another whole area that you can get into for the same reason. But the artwork and spark plugs. There were many spark plugs with features on the side. Indian motorcycle is a good point. Their motorcycles came equipped with a spark plug that said Indian right on it and had the profile of the Indian logo on the side of the spark plug. There were a number of spark plugs made in Massachusetts. One, for example, was called Bay State. And just the lettering in block lettering, Bay State. There was another one, a very exotic plug plug made out of brass and porcelain that was made by the Griffin Manufacturing Company in Boston, Mass. There was spark plugs manufactured with the name Headstrom on it. And they were a hexed porcelain in yellow. And Headstrom at one time was partners in the Indian company. And the names go on forever. There was a name Bosco, Hot Pork Point, Gold, Bond, Vesuvius, Gloria, Blake, James, National Aquiem. That's probably one of my most beautiful plugs. It was a French plug, I'm sure. [00:36:36] Speaker C: Tell me that last name again. [00:36:38] Speaker I: National Aquiam, National Aquam. [00:36:40] Speaker C: Okay. [00:36:41] Speaker I: And it was a plug that was manufactured around 1905. [00:36:47] Speaker C: News Radio 1030, your first choice, all day, every day. So proud of them. Is it hard when you work very hard at a clock, then to give it up, even though somebody may pay a fairly smart amount for them, it's like giving up a baby of yours. [00:37:06] Speaker H: Well, there is something to that, yes. But on the other hand, some of the best friends I've got in this world I met by this manner. Some of my customers turn out to be very, very good friends. [00:37:17] Speaker C: Are there a lot of people who. [00:37:19] Speaker D: Who do what you do? [00:37:20] Speaker H: Very few. [00:37:21] Speaker F: Okay. [00:37:24] Speaker H: There are and always have been people who make a few clocks, sometimes extremely good clocks, one for each of the grandchildren or something like that. But there are very few people around who make them in any numbers and on order. And some of those people get into the business of kind of reproducing a clock or a few clocks over and over again. And I concentrate on doing each one different if possible. [00:37:52] Speaker C: And you try to keep it as close to the original as you can, or do you vary it at all? [00:37:59] Speaker H: Yes and no, I do not. I try to keep the clock looking as much like the original of its style as possible. But I see nothing wrong with people selecting Roman numerals or Arabic numerals or maple trim or mahogany trim or whatever. Because the originals were done in infinite variety. In that way, you almost never find two of the originals exactly the same. [00:38:27] Speaker C: Oh, that's nice to hear you say that. Because a lot of times you hear people say, no, I'm going to do it exactly like the model that we have. And otherwise it would not be historically accurate. So I don't care. But obviously of the. As you point out, the originals varied, so why not be a reproductions of them, right? [00:38:44] Speaker H: Right. Now, occasionally you can go off the deep end, of course, and I always warn a client if they're trying to select a feature that is not appropriate. But you can put together these clocks in an infinite combination. Features that is still authentic, but still [00:39:02] Speaker F: different one from another. [00:39:04] Speaker C: Okay. And anybody who to wants, wants to order from you. We have a phone number. I don't know whether we'll give it now. Do you mind if we do? I have. I don't have the area code. I got a phone number that was in the story 301. 301 is the area code. And the number then would be 464-8079. Is that right? Okay, I won't repeat that again right now. But if anybody's interested, they can drop me an order, call me, and I'd be happy to give them that number on the phone. You're. You're delightful man. And just. Of course, the. The. The story in the papers only get a just the one banjo clock, but I. My imagination has run wild working on some of the other things you have done. And what you do must give you just a great deal of satisfaction. Is it more fun than the job you had before you retired? [00:39:50] Speaker F: Oh, I wouldn't say it's more fun, [00:39:51] Speaker H: but it's totally different. [00:39:53] Speaker C: I was totally different. You say my life is different. Finally come alive and it's wonderful. And I wasted all my time on that government, but okay, you're not going to say that, so I will make you. Okay. [00:40:05] Speaker H: Well, I put in 29 years with the US Forest Service and enjoyed every minute of it. [00:40:09] Speaker C: Oh, I didn't realize that was what you did. No, that's when I had it to [00:40:13] Speaker H: do over Again, I would. [00:40:14] Speaker C: Where did you, where did you work for? For the, in the Forest Service. [00:40:17] Speaker H: Oh, three times out of Colorado while in Alaska and then in here in Washington. [00:40:24] Speaker C: Oh, now what did you do? [00:40:25] Speaker H: I was chief landscape architect for most of that time. Really involved mostly in design and construction of recreation areas, campgrounds, picnic grounds, ski [00:40:36] Speaker I: areas, et cetera, et cetera, all over. [00:40:39] Speaker C: You miss being out in the woods now, or do you live near a woods you can. [00:40:42] Speaker H: Well, I get out there occasionally, but I have a very well equipped shop and thoroughly enjoy working in it. And I have a commute of about 50 yards and it works very well. [00:40:55] Speaker C: So actually, whether you're doing landscaping or the clocks, you're a very creative man and I really admire that. What a nice fruitful life you lead. [00:41:05] Speaker I: It is. [00:41:07] Speaker C: I think it would be a great deal of fun and I appreciate very, very much that you have shared it with us. Edstone, you're okay. Thank you for coming on wbc. [00:41:20] Speaker H: Okay, glad to. [00:41:21] Speaker C: And good luck to you. [00:41:22] Speaker H: Good night. [00:41:22] Speaker C: Take care. Bye. Bye. Ed Snow, who's down in Bowie, Maryland. Beautiful reproductions of old clocks. And it was in the forest preserved a lot of, a lot of interesting people as well out there, creative people who must just, just love what they do because an awful lot of people really don't love what they do. They do it because they have to earn a living and discount prices. It happens at Lappins. That's a car going by. I thought that was. I thought it was the sound of wind, you know, because I recorded these peepers in a wetlands just at the end of my driveway just before the road. And so as I stand in there in the dark like an idiot recording Carswood, there's a car going by. I was going to block off the street, but I figured maybe the police wouldn't be too happy with that, you know, until I finish recording anyway. Would that tell you. Sunday would be windy with periods of rain. Highs about 60. Sunday night, partial clearing, lows 40. Monday, clouds and sunshine highs 54 to 57. And Tuesday becoming cloudy. Chance of a shower late in the day with highs 57. So showers are no showers or whatever. The temperatures gradually are moving up and up and up and it's, it's just that kind of lovely time of year. Everybody dance. [00:43:18] Speaker F: Another station. What was. Did you have a. It wasn't something like Sounds in the Night. Was that a different. [00:43:24] Speaker C: That was exactly the same title. It was. No, that was the whdh. I did do an all night show there. Yes. [00:43:30] Speaker F: Not TR Studio X. There was A Studio X or something like that? [00:43:34] Speaker C: No, I think one of the other guys used to use. Okay. [00:43:36] Speaker F: I don't want to mention names or whatever. [00:43:38] Speaker C: I don't mind if you do. They're probably all washed up and. And in bad shape anyhow, so. [00:43:44] Speaker F: No, but, you know, I'm back around your age and. [00:43:47] Speaker C: Remember Odd Tacker? [00:43:48] Speaker F: Remember him? [00:43:49] Speaker C: Oh, you're really going back, aren't you? [00:43:50] Speaker F: Back to Shellac and hit the track. Remember that? [00:43:53] Speaker C: Well, he was with WTAO in Cambridge. A station that does no longer exist. Although there is a station at that frequency on the dial at 7:10. Okay, I can't get. That's going back to Ed Penny and a whole bunch of those guys from that period. [00:44:05] Speaker F: Symphony Sit. Am I way back? [00:44:07] Speaker C: Yeah, you're back. You're back. It's Symphony Sit across the jazz show. And he broadcast from the old hi hat and stuff. I used to listen to him a lot before I did a jazz show. He was the big kind of the jazz master. [00:44:19] Speaker F: Yeah. Stan gets fans and stuff like that, right? [00:44:23] Speaker C: Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah. [00:44:24] Speaker F: That's Jerry Mulligan. [00:44:25] Speaker C: Yeah. I love. I love all those guys. [00:44:27] Speaker F: You know, whatever. You know, the whole Hotel Buckminster. I think it was, wasn't it? Something around Kenwood Square? [00:44:34] Speaker C: Well, I think the. The Hotel Buckminster. Wait a minute. Let me see. Yeah, the first. I think one of the first Storyvilles by George. [00:44:41] Speaker I: George. [00:44:42] Speaker C: George. Not George Wayne. I'm sorry. Yeah. George Wayne set up a jazz club, I think. Yeah. He was at. He was at the Hotel Buckminster. That's when he looked first. [00:44:51] Speaker F: Well, you know, I'm kind of, you know. You know, back in memorabilia. [00:44:55] Speaker C: You know, back in memorabilia. Okay, whatever. [00:44:59] Speaker F: And listen, I go back and forth to Florida quite a bit, you know, driving cars. I catch you in Roanoke and Columbia and, you know, Savannah. Driving down that way, clear as a bell at night. [00:45:11] Speaker C: No kidding. I know we get down to North Carolina. I didn't realize. As far down as Savannah, Georgia. But that's nice to know on occasion, you know. Yeah. [00:45:20] Speaker F: I live in a little town called Zephyr Hills in Florida. [00:45:23] Speaker C: Zephyr Hills. [00:45:24] Speaker F: Zephyr with a Z. Oh, Zephyr. Which is a little town just north of Tamper. [00:45:29] Speaker C: Yeah. [00:45:30] Speaker F: And, you know, four or five months a year or whatever. But so whatever. But that's. Well, that's. I'm just dwelling. [00:45:36] Speaker C: Wasn't. It was Harold Perry and then the one who followed, who was. Who was on with us last week. Who sounded just like Al Perry, was Willard Waterman. [00:45:47] Speaker B: That's it. [00:45:47] Speaker C: That's. And he was. He did it, I guess. The show was on about 19 years and Willard Waterman did it for the last nine. Imagine. Shows really lasted them. In television, you get a few shows that last a few seasons, but many of them are canceled, usually by the second commercial of the first show or something. They don't last too long. But there was Willard Waterman, and he was in town. I saw him this past weekend, Thursday and Friday nights. [00:46:15] Speaker B: Yeah, somebody mentioned that you had him [00:46:16] Speaker D: on, or you mentioned that. [00:46:18] Speaker B: We couldn't think of the name. We thought of everything. [00:46:20] Speaker C: But, yeah, he's the guy who did that. Used to call out old Leroy. You're not laughing. So obviously that doesn't ring a bell. Then the news here at the WBC delivered by a crack newscaster. Thank you. The same as Gulf side. [00:47:00] Speaker B: Yeah. [00:47:01] Speaker C: And, yeah, we wanted to see the new Red Sox ballpark down there in their training grounds. And plus, we went. You know, there's two islands off of that area. I can't think of the names of them. They're lovely islands. [00:47:14] Speaker D: No, I know Naples. I've gone across the Tanami Trail from Miami, so I know Naples. But Fort Myers I've never been to. And yet I've been down to Tampa. [00:47:25] Speaker C: Yeah. Yeah, Fort Myers is okay, mostly. The things around it are kind of interesting. Both Thomas Edison and. And who else? Oh, boy, do I forget quickly. I might not. I might just well not go anywhere. I come back and within weeks I forgot where I'd been. [00:47:42] Speaker B: Well, you gotta take notes, Norm. [00:47:44] Speaker D: That's what I did. I took notes of things so I'd remember. [00:47:47] Speaker C: Well, I'm gonna. You know, I'm gonna do that, Monica. I'm gonna take extensive notes from here on. [00:47:51] Speaker D: Yeah. And that way, you know, then you look back and say, oh, yeah, that's what we did on that day. [00:47:55] Speaker C: Yeah, it was. Thomas Edison and Henry Ford both had summer homes down in the Fort Myers area. Oh, yeah, it was kind of fun because there's some museums and all that kind of stuff on the. On the grounds, particularly of Edison's early phonographs and all. I mean, there's enough. There's quite a lot to see throughout the whole area. [00:48:11] Speaker B: And, Norm, how old are your two girls? [00:48:14] Speaker C: In their 20s and 30s. [00:48:16] Speaker D: Oh, yeah. [00:48:16] Speaker B: Yeah. [00:48:17] Speaker D: So they're quite grown up. They're still learning. [00:48:20] Speaker C: Oh, yeah. No, they're. They're. [00:48:21] Speaker F: They're. [00:48:21] Speaker C: They're. They're ladies. They're women now. Yeah. No, they have little kids anymore and all that. And they're both living by themselves. Separately from me. But we see each other quite a lot. And that was a nice trip the three of us went down on. [00:48:34] Speaker D: And they still love you? [00:48:36] Speaker C: Oh, with a passion that just knows no bounds. [00:48:39] Speaker D: That's right. [00:48:39] Speaker C: Because I'm a swell dad. [00:48:41] Speaker D: Well, you are. [00:48:42] Speaker C: I'm sure you were. [00:48:43] Speaker D: Always. [00:48:44] Speaker C: I hope so. [00:48:44] Speaker D: Okay. Bye. Bye. [00:48:45] Speaker C: Bye. Bye, Monica. Portland was so boring. Then one day the tide went out and never bothered to come back in again. Oh, yeah. S A M I B E L A N I. Okay. Oh, Sanibel. That's right, Sanibel. And is there a third one, you said? [00:49:17] Speaker B: No, there's just the two of them. [00:49:18] Speaker C: Just the two of them. [00:49:19] Speaker E: They meet. [00:49:20] Speaker C: Yes. [00:49:21] Speaker B: Right where they meet is where so many shells are washed in. [00:49:25] Speaker C: Now, which is the one that's farthest out? [00:49:28] Speaker D: Captiva. [00:49:29] Speaker C: Okay, so you hit Sanibel first, and then Captiva is next. It was off of. I guess Captiva. [00:49:34] Speaker F: We, we. [00:49:34] Speaker C: We. We took a boat trip around that area. [00:49:37] Speaker A: Don't forget to take that millisecond to hit the like button. And if you haven't subscribed, please do.
