It is almost impossible to find anyone today who has not seen Clayton Moore as the Lone Ranger,from years of television shows plus a pair of movies, in re-runs or places like Netflix or on DVDs. Butall of that is but a small part of the character, compared to the more than 20 years of radio adventuresheard three times every week. That's where the character began, and the radio show spun off everythingelse from cartoons to movie serials to comic strips and books to novels to TV and big-budget films.Clare Sieffert not only explores how the radio show influenced all else, but she will whet yourappetite to hear those shows - and we can (she provides places where they can be ordered ordownloaded). I remember hearing some of those shows, and always thought they had thebest acting, narration, music, sound effects and scripts of any show on radio. For me, Sieffert'sexploration of them in this book is a wonderful trip down memory lane.
