I’ve been pretty busy lately, trying uselessly to catch up from December, and so haven’t been to the Post Office for weeks. Went down earlier, and there in the box was a package from our friend Craig Wichman, Old-Time Radio fan and Modern Audio Drama actor/producer. In the package, along with a note, was a CD of, “A Christmas Carol,” performed by the Quicksilver Radio Theater and featuring Mr. Wickman as Scrooge. Those of you who attended last year’s Friends of Old-Time Radio Convention in Newark saw him perform the role of Sherlock Holmes…

Which brings up how charitable this gift really is…see, I promised Craig months ago that I’d get the pics from Saturday at the FOTR Con posted. (Saturday was, of course, the day of the Sherlock Holmes recreation.) As I’m sure you’ve noticed, no Saturday photos have made it here yet. I d*mned near forgot on which computer they’re currently residing…

But to show my heart’s in the right place (even if my head isn’t), I enclose a precious few pics from the Holmes recreation, and publically promise to get more pics posted in the next week. Note the first three are from the rehearsal, and the last from the performance.

As to, “A Christmas Carol,” I’ve been bummed by the passing of Christmastime this year anyway, so my plan is to follow the advice of the author sometime over the coming weekend when I can remove all distractions, turn down the lights, close my eyes, and follow the cast to Queen Victoria’s London in the Year of Our Lord 1843…
