fan magazines of the 50s
Do any of you nice folks have copies of any Radio/TV Mirror or Song Hits
magazines from the 1950s and early 60s? Some of the editions were
regional, and they included features about New England radio
personalities. Basically, I am trying to find out which New England
personalities were considered well-known enough to make the national
magazines. If you do have any of these fan magazines, I don't need the
magazine itself-- I just need to know who was in it, and what issue it
was. For example, I have a few issues that featured articles about Louise
Morgan, Gus Saunders, Priscilla Fortescue, Stan Richards, Nelson Bragg, the
Hayloft Jamboree, Big Brother Bob Emery, and Ed Penney. I am sure there
were many others, and I would love to know who was selected. (I also have
a mid August 1952 issue of New England TV Guide with a feature about Dick
Tucker, and it alludes to other local radio personalities besides him who
were on TV in the early 50s, but I have not found many other articles about
announcers in any of the regional TV Guides I have...)
