Last night on WGN I heard a 1952 Johnny Dollar starring John Lund. It was really good.

Oh, cool! He pre-dated Bob Bailey (as did several other “Johnnys”), but Ed Walker always said Bob Bailey was the best Johnny Dollar, “the” Johnny Dollar, in fact.

Bob Bailey’s my favorite Johnny Dollar too. My overall favorite radio detective is Gerald Mohr’s Philip Marlowe.

I’m good, at the beach in Delaware. The water is a little cold. About to head to the boardwalk.
