Those Thrilling Days of Yesteryear

  The Radio Gang (Front row (L-r): Missy Donahue, Wendy Carpenter, Angela Gick, Judy Cole, and Katy Wolfe. Back row (L-r): Jeff Shull, Gabe Carpenter, Bob Green, Me (Proof I have a face for radio!), and Jerry Cole)   Recently Tom Cherry's Old Time Radio Show expanded a bit in prime time and offered a buffet of desserts for a series of shows that ran on the weekends from Mother's Day to May 25. Despite having a variety of fun scripts performed by the most talented cast around (The best radio cast since Mercury Theatre by gum!), the shows didn't draw much of a crowd. Sadly it was a bust audience wise, but we all certainly had a grand time on stage and I continue to be blessed by being in the company of such remarkable folks who come together every now and then to play radio in Farmland. Thanks again to all those brave souls who ventured out to see us (Next time bring all of your friends! Please!), to the wonderful cooks and bakers who made our delicious treats, and most of all to my dear friends in the radio gang who inspire me with their talent and their kindness!   And remember a new episode of Tom Cherry's Old Time Radio Show debuts every fourth Saturday of the month at the Farmland Center @ 3:00pm! Hope to see you on the radio!   Photograph by Kristin Wolfe.
