Between 1976 and 1989, I created a series of more than fifty audio productions in which I voiced all the characters. Until now, the world of musicians Funnytalk Nelson and Chico, their manager C.C. Limburger Cheese, and Chico's wife Lizzie has been unheard by all except a select few, though their brand of comedy has been widely seen in such shows as Cheers, Seinfeld, and The Simpsons.

More about it

As I near fifty years young, I would like to offer this entertainment to all who would lend an ear. It was created on reel-to-reel and cassette decks, and at times incorporates film music and sped-up songs which were "mixed" live during recording, and are thus inseparable from the finished product. Since their sound quality is obviously not of studio level, I hope their inclusion will be deemed as fair use, as my intent and inspiration were to panegyrize, not plagiarize.

Before you look that word up, let me introduce you to this particular "F.N.C." (my abbreviation for "Funnytalk Nelson and Chico," the stars of this series). TREASURE-TROVE is an elaborate comedy-adventure set in Bermuda. It was created in 1981 when I was sixteen. However, I recently spent the better part of a year restoring, enhancing, and re-editing it. It runs 64 minutes (longer than most), and I sincerely hope you enjoy it.

Radio drama, old-time radio and historic broadcasts from the Internet Archive (its Old Time Radio collection with the Old Time Radio Researchers' sets, WWII Era Audio Recordings, the Pacifica Radio Archives, the Radio Haiti Archive, German radio plays and listeners' uploads), Wikimedia Commons (with the Netherlands Institute for Sound and Vision's broadcasts) and the Library of Congress. Every episode plays from its archive, which this site does not copy; rights are as each archive states them. Nothing here is called public domain on this site's say-so. In the United States, sound recordings first fixed before 15 February 1972 have federal protection under the Music Modernization Act of 2018, for most until 2067 at the latest, so most American radio of the 1930s to the 1950s is not in the public domain there. Each set shows the licence, mark or statement its archive gives, and says whose it is. Horror, crime, war and westerns are for teenage and adult profiles, racist caricature for adults only, and children’s profiles hear what was made for children. More about these archives.
