Ginny, I too remember Ruth Lyons. It was a fixture at our house in the summer when my mother wasn't teaching. And was always on at both Grandmothers' houses. I also remember Bob Braun, Paul Dixon, and Midwestern Hayride. Actually, my guitar teacher occasionally subbed in the on-air band Ruth had. Imagine that! A local TV show that had an on-air band. Them was the days! Two other Cincy broadcasting fixtures, Len Goorian and Bill Nimmo currently do broadcasting chores on my favourite internet radio station, WMKV.
JRand, I did not much care for the Vangelis score to ALEXANDER. But then after you've listened to Rozsa or Korngold, who really can compare for epics? Actually, I watched ROBIN & MARIAN on TCM the other night and what a fine John Barry score that is! But I've never been much of Vangelis fan.
