I'm working on a number of projects where transcriptions of the shows would be most helpful.  Unfortunately, the collector channels have turned up nothing: in fact, no one seems to even remember this nationally broadcasted show!

Many years ago in Edison's attic I found in Theodore Edison's wooden 
crates the Roxy's Gang broadcast from the 1928 Radio World's Fair that 
included statements by Ford, Firestone, and Edison, and singing by 
Gladys Rice and possibly Douglas Stanbury.  For my project of the LP 
Edison Speaks I didn't need the whole show, so I forget if I have a tape 
of the whole show, but you should check with Jerry Fabris at the Edison 
Site to see if the whole program is on line or otherwise available.
