His highlights include the following quotes: "kick him in the teeth", "hit him right between the eyes with a baseball bat", "send him to the hospital and he won't bother you any more", "My pet peeve is seeing my wife next to me in bed when I wake up in the morning", "The prize for the best joke is you get to mop the kitchen floor" "gosh, you're all so pretty. How old are you? 12? Wow you're cute." " You don't go to school? Are you a bad girl? Do you want a whipping?", "13 years old? You're an old maid! Send this one back, get her out of here."

I will keep in mind to make the next posts some commercials and shortly after that, will make sure to include some more family-at-home style tapes. <br /><br />Thanks to the comments about the tapes being Chicagoland in origin.

Kirby moved to Chicago in the '40s and started his own chain of rinks. Dad's got a pretty good delivery and seems to be a real clown—maybe he spent a little time on stage in some capacity. Interesting that he broke out the new tape for this party. Keep this stuff coming... I love the "slice of life" recordings.J.

Thanks for your comments! I ...Hi, Ace and Charles,<br /><br />Thanks for your comments! I really appreciate it!<br /><br />Ace, the Beware of the Blog site is closing down as of July 30th. The old posts will remain, but commenting and ability to send new posts will cease on the 31st. I've reworded what I wrote in order to make sure it's more clear. <br /><br />Charles, thanks for the details! I buy tapes from all over, primarily via the internet these days, but when I do get to Beverly Records (I work on the South Side of Chicago), if they have interesting reels, I buy them there. <br /><br />I make almost no effort to arrange my tapes before listening to them, and by the time I get to one it's unlikely I'll recall where I got it from, unless there was something special about it, as there have been with some commercial tapes and some tapes from a CBS affiliate some years ago. But I'm fairly certain, given the information you provided, that these came from Beverly Records, just a few miles west of Roseland. Thanks for figuring all that out!<br /><br />BobBob Pursehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00595178670595128341noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3253281712354769447.post-22731317874587651672015-07-27T02:20:36.337-07:002015-07-27T02:20:36.337-07:00From what I can tell, these folks lived on the far...From what I can tell, these folks lived on the far south side of Chicago, in Roseland. They mention the now-closed Mendel High, which was in Roseland, and the also-now-closed Mother of Sorrows High, which is in not too far away Blue Island. All the girls go to St Catherine's of Genoa, which was also in the area. And is also now closed. I believe on of the girls mentions a "St. Charles" high school. The closest St. Charles I can find is in Melrose Park, St. Charles Borromeo. They sound Chicago-y to me. (I grew up in Beverly, Morgan Park, and Blue Island; my parents grew up in Roseland.) And I know you are based in Chicago area, so that would make sense. But the real clincher for me is that I've found references to both a Toots Rago's and a Giovanni's restaurants in Roseland. (Heck, here's a newspaper article from 1931 about a young boxer named Lawrence Rago, nicknamed "Toots," from, you guessed it, Roseland: http://archives.chicagotribune.com/1931/02/04/page/25/article/rago-makes-3d-bid-for-golden-gloves-crown/)Charles Edward Rogershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08749593926706154212noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3253281712354769447.post-89803779421398761842015-07-27T02:19:02.725-07:002015-07-27T02:19:02.725-07:00This comment has been removed by the author.Charles Edward Rogershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08749593926706154212noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3253281712354769447.post-63529462116819153082015-07-26T23:02:42.014-07:002015-07-26T23:02:42.014-07:00Hi Bob.

Hope to hear more of the wonders that I've heard through WFMU (Why are you leaving there, I saw the use of the word shuttered but don't know what that means in internet usage).
