About the author
Donnie Pitchford is an artist, a fan of Old Time Radio, and cofounder of the National Lum and Abner Society.
Joe Bevilacqua, a.k.a. Joe Bev, began making up stories into a tape recorder when he was twelve in 1971. Forty-four years and hundreds of hours of radio broadcasting later, and he’s still creating unusual audio that defies categorization. Whether it is creating a half-hour radio play for XM Satellite Radio, documentaries, features or personal essays for National Public Radio, or performing on stage before a live audience, he has made a career out of imaginative storytelling in the best aural traditions of the past.
