This came across on the Association of Moving Image archivists email list
and I thought the ARSC and Ampex list members might be able to help out.
I know there are Old-Time-Radio lists and while Firesign Theatre is not
Old-Old-Time, it's getting on to forty years old...so if there are other
lists out there, please forward. This is a shame that this wasn't saved.
I know we can't save everything, but...
For those unfamiliar with Firesign Theatre, I first heard them in 1969
and found their humour and satire amazing--but I only know them through
their released recordings.
I was just listening to "Shakespeare's Lost Comedie" the other day.
I love the Firesign Theater so much that I've named all my hard drives
after characters from their records.
I had the privilege to see them live on their 25th anniversary tour, and
still have my souvenier pickle and brown paper bag to prove it.
Hard to believe that was 15 years ago..
