I'm a fan of old time radio, and I heard for years about the annual children's serial, "The Cinnamon Bear," rerun every year on radio since its premiere in syndication in 1937. Only this year did I actually start listening to it and I found it to be surprisingly delightful. I'm enclosing a webpage where you can download the episodes, designed to be heard every night from November 29th to Christmas Eve. It concerns two children looking for the silver star for the family Christmas tree, and they end up in an enchanted land with the Cinnamon Bear and the Crazy Quilt Dragon, among others. Why am I bringing this up here? Because one of the many talented character actors to provide vocal talent for the show is our own Floyd the Barber himself, Howard McNear. He first appears as Samuel the Seal in episode #6 and later plays Slim Pickings the cowboy. _http://www.archive.org/details/thecinnamonbear_ (http://www.archive.org/details/thecinnamonbear) Dixon **************Make your life easier with all your friends, email, and favorite sites in one place.
