One of the friends was Mel Simons; I have referred to him a
number of times, in this space. He is a
Boston-based comedian, entertainer and radio personality--and is the author of more
than a dozen books, including titles about Old-Time Radio, Old-Time Television, comedians, movies and
music. Many of the titles are

made up of interviews. All of the books have
been brought out by BearManor Media.
Mel's newest book, released in September, is volume two of The Old-Time Television
