Thursday

Thursday was a good day. I took the day off from Touchy Feely Fotos to hang out in Farmland with some wonderful people (You know, Sean Orlosky, Wendy Carpenter, Sean Heline, Bob Green, Missy Donahue, and Judy and Jerry Cole). We also performed a special episode of Tom Cherry’s Old Time Radio Show for a bus tour experiencing the wonders of Farmland. They were a fine audience, too! It was a fun show and we earned some good money for the Farmland Community Center. Later that same day, I auditioned for Indiana Public Radio’s Christmas production of The Gift of the Magi and yesterday I found out I’ll be part of the cast so Friday was a good day, too.

On the Road Again

This past Saturday the radio gang loaded up the radio winnebago and took Tom Cherry's Old Time Radio Show to the Muncie Delaware County Senior Center where we performed in front of an intimate and charming audience. It was a lot of fun and I'm sorry we didn't see you there! Thanks again to the best radio cast ever (Sean Heline, Bob Green, Missy Donahue, Katy Wolfe, Angela Gick, and Jerry and Judy Cole, of course!) for creating another funtastic show! More thanks to Mr. Bruce Reynolds for inviting us down and for being such a gracious host! If you like the radio gang to visit your event or venue, just call 765-468-7631.

Radio Review

  Just wanted to take a moment to reflect on another great episode of Tom Cherry’s Old Time Radio Show from this past Saturday. Little Women brought out one of our best audiences ever, packed with first time visitors, our beloved regulars, and an abundance of dear friends! When a great audience meets a great cast, you can feel the magic in the air! Plus we learned about “roachkickers” when we played It Pays to be Ignorant! Thanks again to Sean Orlosky, Missy Donahue, Sean Heline, Bob Green, Katy Wolfe, Angela Gick, Judy and Jerry Cole, and our special guests, Lauren Donahue and Dana Jones for being part of a truly memorable show! Already looking forward to our next show in August! Plus we take the show back on the road this Saturday as we perform at the Muncie Delaware County Senior Center at 1:00pm!

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.
