Furthermore, at https://MemoOfTheAir.wordpress.com you'll find a fresh 
batch of dozens of links to not necessarily radio-useful but nonetheless 
worthwhile educational items I set aside for you while gathering the 
show together. Such as:

Shivery creepy. Especially when the crawlspace woman drinks right out of 
the milk. With her mouth.

And Ethel Smith on the tingy but mighty Hammond organ. You kids don’t 
know, but it wasn’t that long ago that every shopping center used to 
have an organ store full of organs of all sizes for sale, and there’d be 
someone like this woman, or a man in church clothes (suit and tie), 
playing just like this on the organ in the entryway, to draw people in. 
Pizza places had an organ and somebody to play it; some of them had a 
kind of clockwork or electrical or vacuum-operated mechanism to play it, 
to pull the keys down while you watched, or while you sat at it and 
pretended to be the one playing it. Churches, of course. I don’t 
remember banks having one, but that would’ve been a great idea, and 
still would be, if people still went in banks. Mark Scaramella of the 
Anderson Valley Advertiser worked his way through college playing an 
organ for intermissions in a giant movie theater, on a platform that 
would rise up on a hydraulic lift out of the stage in front of the 
curtains that would shut over the screen and then go back down when the 
curtains pulled aside and the movie started again. People had an organ 
in their house, in the living room or basement or den. Some people had 
two or three. Organs were a big deal for a long time, and then they just 
weren't anymore. Why, I wonder. What ruined it? /And where did they all go?/
