7 JAN 2024 · Photo: Public Domain Wikipedia https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Betty_Boop Hello Everyone! Have you heard about Boop! The Musical by Jasmine Amy Rogers? I have seen a video clip of her recording a song titled, ‘Where I Wanna Be.’ She’s a great singer. The musical is performed by David Foster; lyrics by Birkenhead. Boop The Musical is a 2023 musical based on the animated character Betty Boop. The musical original run in Chicago began with previews on November 19 and closed on December 24, 2023. Betty Boop is a celebrity in the black-and-white animated world, but she feels that something is missing. Grampy, an inventor and Betty's friend, creates a machine to take her into the modern world. She becomes more 3 dimensional. Sounds like a neat broadway show. I’m Gail Nobles. Thank you for listening to Paudio.

23 SEP 2023 · Story by: Gail Nobles Cover Art by: Gail Nobles Keyboardist: Gail Nobles Hello I'm Gail Nobles, and you’re listening to Paudio the Source of Sound. Growing up as a child I loved the cartoon Woody Woodpecker. I have a little golden book by Walter Lantz titled with “Woody Woodpecker at the Circus.” I loved watching the cartoons and hearing the laugh of Woody. I asked : How did they make Woody laugh like that?” He had a unique laugh like Porky Pig had a unique stutter. I remember Woody Woodpecker as a bird that was mischievous. There is a real woodpecker that comes around sometimes in my yard. As a child, I never thought I'd see a real one. The woodpecker had a knock loud enough that I could hear him with my windows closed. He put holes all the way up my pecan tree. I thought: That woodpecker got to go.” But there was one tree I was glad he peaked on some. The woodpecker had a powerful beak. When I hear that woodpecker, I think of the cartoon Woody Woodpecker. I remember the cartoon in the 70s where he was created in 1940 by Walter Lantz and appeared in theatrical short films and distributed by Universal Pictures between 1940 and 1972.

29 JUN 2023 · Intro song by: Gail Nobles ©️2023 Story and Art by: Gail Nobles Today’s topic is Cool Ghoul. Hi I’m Gail Nobles. I remember seeing the Cool Ghoul on television in the 80’s everyday at 4:00 PM showing cartoons like Tom & Jerry. The Cool Ghoul was a popular radio and TV character and horror movie host in Cincinnati, Ohio created and portrayed by Dick Van Hoene. The Cool Ghoul was an icon of Cincinnati television radio and local pop culture for over decades. The Cool Ghoul’s origins date back to 1961, when Von Hoene worked on a WGPO (now WDBZ) radio show called “Bob Smith’s Monster Mash.” By 1969, Von Hoene had moved into television working at the fledging TV station WXIX-TV in Cincinnati. During the early 1970s, The Cool Ghoul hosted his own Saturday night horror movie show, Scream-In. In the early 1980s, Von Hoene took the Cool Ghoul to WCTI - TV in New Bern, NC earning a new generation of fans in the process. He sure did. I remember him well. and all the crazy sounds he made. Bl-bl-bl-bl-bl-bl-bl-bl-bl-bl.. BLEAAAHHH BLEAAAHHH Cool Ghoul made his own records. He had his own rock band known as the Grave Diggers. He was very successful with his talents. The Ghoul was loved. I remember him performing the Monster Mash. “ … And Suddenly to my surprise He did the Mash He did the Monster Mash The Monster Mash…” And I remember him playing a little tune in the background when he would talk showing cartoons. .. I guess I loved him too because I remember some of the things he did growing up. I never forgot him. Von Hoene passed away at age 63 on Feb. 4, 2004. He was buried at Spring Grove Cemetery Cincinnati. I’ll always remember him. He had some good affect on my childhood. I’m Gail Nobles. Tune in again next time for more.

2 APR 2023 · Voice actor intro and music by: Gail Nobles Art by: Gail Nobles James Earl Jones as Thulsa Doom was the leader of a snake cult in the 1982 movie Conan the Barbarian starring Arnold Schwarzenegger. It is an epic sword & sorcery film directed by John Milius and written by Milius and Oliver Stone. The Character Thulsa Doom was something else. He could act kind and turn around and kill you in an instant. James Earl Jones made the character and acting seem so real, although you knew you were watching a fantasy movie. The most creepy part of the movie was when Thulsa Doom slowly turned into a snake right in his clothes. His face began to change slowly, and you could see his head moving that was covered under his head covering, and his hands began to draw up into his sleeves. It was my first time seeing a face being morphed into something else like that. What made it so creepy was it was the face of James Earl Jones. And I’m wondering, “Wow! How did they do that?” And I didn’t know anything about computers in 1982. It was very amazing to me. I’m Gail Nobles, and you’re listening to Paudio, the source of sound.
