Talk:Creature Feature (1973 TV series)

message: A clearly well-intentioned editor added some information that I was loath to remove, but it was simply inappropriate. I have placed it here:
===Personal Friend of Dr. Paul Bearer===
I knew Dr. Paul Bearer (Dick Bennick) personally. My hometown is Winston-Salem, North Carolina, and that is where I 
originally knew him back in the 1960s.
Before inventing his well-known Dr. Paul Bearer character, he was a DJ at WTOB radio and would have weekly teenage Hi-Fi Club dances on Friday and Saturday nights. He was the "Dick Clark" of Winston-Salem. On a TV station in High Point, he had his own live dance show.
I played bass guitar with the bands, Tommy Hailey & The Monotones, The Soul Brothers, and The Satans. We would play for his dances.
I have an audio segment of his WTOB radio ad of him talking about these dances. He would also do remotes at a WTOB radio booth set up at the Forsyth County Fair. I don't have an exact date of this audio. I guess it was around 1961 or 
1962. It was probably originally recorded direcly from a radio broadcast on my Sears Silvertone reel-to-reel tape recorder and then cut to vinyl by me. I had a vinyl record-cutting machine! How antique is that!
My bands, Tommy Hailey & The Monotones, The Soul Brothers, and The Satans would also perform at the Saturday Morning Kiddie Show at the Carolina Theater. Sometimes Dick would be the MC and introduce us before the show.
Dick was also a record producer and had his own record label, Salem Records. He released music of local bands. His releases were 7" 45 RPM vinyl records. At the very bottom of one that I have it says "Produced by Dick Bennick". 
One band was THE KING BEES, from King, NC. One side of their 45 RPM vinyl pressing is "September Song". Side two is "It's A Sin To Tell A Lie". They are both instrumentals. He may have released others of THE KING BEES.
THE SATANS, of Winston-Salem was another band on his label. I played bass with them, but was not the bass player on their vinyl recording of "Jute Box" b/w "Harlem Shuffle".
When I moved from Winston-Salem to Charlotte, I accidentally met him one day. He was there buying magician supplies.
I moved to St. Petersburg from Charlotte in 1975. I visited him at WTOG TV in St. Petersburg while he was taping some Dr. Paul Bearer routines for future Creature Feature episodes.
My music is in the style of the music of the 1960s - - - the same kind of stuff Dick was playing on his radio shows - - - as well as at his Hi-Fi Club dances every weekend. So, my songwriting has been influenced by the records Dick was playing!!

There's some very interesting info there, but it's unfortunately unsourced. I was eleven in 1973; my entire childhood in Florida revolved around Sat. afternoons and the good Dr. I'm sure you do miss him, Jimmie. But, please (if you happen to be reading this) read WP:OR to understand why this material is not suitable for the article. Eaglizard (talk) 12:10, 23 March 2008 (UTC)
