Attend St. Louis' Weekend
at Baskerville Hall
even if you couldn't be there!! |
|
 |
Everyone in attendance at the Westport
Plaza hotel was a descendant of Sir Henry Baskerville! There was
something for every Sherlockian taste ranging from pub chow and
chatter, through delightful Sherlockian whimsy, to learned presentations.
The program even included a serious literary discussion panel
by noted mystery authors John Lutz, Francis Nevins, Jr. and Robert
Randisi. Meet, on these recordings, famous Sherlockians Barb Roscoe,
Jessica Young, Brad Keefauver, Gordon Speck, Joe Eckrich, Greg
Sullivan, Peter Crupe, Roy Pilot, David Hammer, and many others.
Bill Cochran's discourse "Irregular Spirits" on playing the
game is a "must" for every Sherlockian, whether seasoned or
neophyte. Rosemary Michaud's poetry (a toast to The Hound)
and song (Poor Sir Henry) are utter delights. And then
- that great Baskervillian country-western ballad, I Wanna
be the Hound, (adapted from I Wanna be a Dawg, copyright
1998, Werblow, Atkins, & Bryan, Vital Organs Music) should be
in every Sherlockian's music library! The entire weekend was respectfully
dedicated to the memory of that great St. Louis Sherlockian, Art
Schroeder, who died on August 26, 1999 after a protracted illness.

Medley of Fear (Rosemary Michaud - punctuated with her vocal renditions
of Irish songs!); A Walk with the Ripper (John Smithkey, III -
noted "Ripperologist"); and, Here Come the Brides (Brad Keefauver,

Holmes?). This remarkable recording of the "The Game's Afloat"
conference is delivered to you on 3 high quality audio cassettes
packaged in an attractive vinyl album. Listen at your leisure
to any part of the conference! This was a very enjoyable convention
and these tapes offer a rare opportunity to hear some the most
renowned names in Sherlockiana. We believe this to be the first

Art's
Audio: "The Double-Good Fortune of Mr. Henry Baker and His Lucky
Goose" and
|
|
 |
The
late Art Schroeder had one of the most creative minds that it
has ever been our pleasure to encounter. He also had a keen, albeit
a tad unusual, sense of humor. In "Mr. Henry Baker and His Lucky
Goose," Mary Schroeder gives a performance worthy of an Academy
Award. Imagine, too - a battered, abandoned safe, once belonging
to Grimesby Roylott, is unearthed and forced opened to reveal
some serpentine remains ("The Forgotten Victim"). Scratched on
the walls is an array of mysterious glyphs, and, therefrom, unfolds
the tragic tale! Mary Schroeder actually tops her performance
as Mrs. Henry Baker in the demanding and sensitive role of the
famous Indian Swamp Adder. Dr. Schroeder is aided by an all-star
cast of eminent Sherlockians! Art's audio "dramas" are delivered
to you on a C-90 audiocassette in a Norelco box. PG rated; Language;
Dr. Watson is predisposed to deliver a few Anglo Saxon expletives.

FIXED POINT — THE AUDIO
ITEM
#: Aud/FixP
PRICE: US $7.95/full 30 minute cassette
DESCRIPTION:
"Sherlock Holmes is Dead!" So begins Mr. David Stuart Davies' marvelous play, "Fixed Point." The Scene: an aging Dr. Watson is spending his final days in a nursing home confined to a wheelchair. The Action: Dr. Watson's final remembrances and thoughts as he relates them to a young newspaper reporter named, appropriately enough, Murray. Mr. Davies' manuscript originally recorded these final moments, but now, Mr. Meredith Granger has arranged for us to live those moments along with Dr. Watson by producing "Fixed Point" as a professional audio drama! Mr. Granger assembled and directed a collection of fine actors and actresses at the University of Indianapolis where the drama was actually performed, recorded, and mixed into this exceptional audio dramatic adaptation of the original play. Professionally recorded in remarkably vivid stereo, "Fixed Point — The Audio" envelops the listener in both the environs and the sensations of Dr. Watson's final recollections of his adventures with Sherlock Holmes. We here at Classic Specialties have listened to this fine audio drama many times and have never yet finished it with a dry eye. We urge you not to miss this exceptional production. Repeated listenings will always reveal some new subtlety which Mr. Granger has built into the production. "Fixed Point — The Audio" is delivered to you on a standard C-30 audio cassette in hard plastic box..

SHERLOCK HOLMES AND THE MARK OF THE BEAST — THE AUDIO
ITEM #:Aud/WeyPRICE: US $28.95
DESCRIPTION: Listening to Mr. Ronald Weyman narrate his own novel is the next best thing to being invited into Dr. Watson's sitting room for the spinning of a personal Holmesian "reminiscence." The Baker Street Journal characterized this pastiche as "...well-written...engaging...a ripping good yarn." Mr. Weyman's writing and reading styles preserve a remarkably authentic "Watsonian" atmosphere. A true-to-type cast of characters, including sea captains, German agents, colorful French-Canadian and Irish personalities, and a beautiful woman ("...delicate, sensitive...a creature not of this world of common mortals.") escort the listener from London, across the Atlantic on a Cunard liner, up the St. Lawrence to Montreal. The Mark of the Beast is a spy thriller in which murder, Hiram Maxim (famous inventor of the machine gun), the Fenians, French-Canadian separatists, plots against the existence of The Empire, (indeed, against the very social and political order of the world!), and a variety of historically and scientifically accurate affairs of the late 19th century are interwoven into a riveting Sherlock Holmes mystery set during The Great Hiatus. Complete and unabridged (320 minutes) and delivered in a vinyl storage case with graphics from the original book.

SHERLOCK THROUGH THE MAGNIFYING GLASS — THE AUDIO
ITEM
#: Aud/Magnify
PRICE: US $9.95
DESCRIPTION: What did the women in Sherlock Holmes' life really think of him? Ms. Vanessa Maroney, accomplished Washington, D.C. actress, performs, for your listening pleasure, Mr. David Stuart Davies' famous drama, Sherlock through the Magnifying Glass: A Female Perspective. Ms. Maroney begins with an insightful reading of Ms. Catherine Cooke's erudite analysis of the relationships between Mr. Holmes and all of the major canonical women. She then continues by assuming the identities of Irene Adler; Mary Morstan (Mrs. Watson); the "unknown lady" (survivor of that dreadful encounter with Charles Augustus Milverton); and Carrie Trevor, whose association with Mr. Holmes seems to have been more tender than casual. We would be most astonished if you do not chuckle at Irene Adler's account of "Scandal in Bohemia," or become misty-eyed as Carrie Trevor remembers her romance with a young Sherlock Holmes. Don't miss this remarkable audio drama. There has never been anything like it in the annals of Sherlockian literature. A single C-65 cassette with narrative running just a couple of minutes over an hour. Produced by Classic Specialties.

THE GOLF-STROKER'S QUIRK — THE AUDIO
ITEM
#: Aud/Golf
PRICE: Only $5.00
DESCRIPTION: OK, here's what happened! As part of the entertainment at CCC '96 up in Door County, WI, Joel Senter wrote a little "radio drama" which he entitled "The Golf-Stroker's Quirk." The title evolved from the fact that, as part of the plot, Dr. Watson is invited to the British Open golf tournament and Mr. Holmes goes along as his caddie. While the famous pair has been thusly lured out of town (a la "The Stockbroker's Clerk), a dastardly and nefarious scheme unfolds back in London - and just wait until you find out who the villain turns out to be! The drama (which is something of a lampoon of the original Rathbone/Bruce radio broadcasts of the '30s and '40s) was actually performed live at the meeting with such well known Sherlockian thespians as David Hammer, the late Bob Hahn, Jerry Kaufmann, Luci Zahray, Gayle Simnick, and Tom Biblewski in the cast (SFX by Carolyn Senter and Janet Biblewski; direction by Joel Senter). Due to a stroke of brilliant planning, the "broadcast" was recorded for posterity. As a "live" recording, the performance is enhanced by audience reaction (and some other stuff). We sent copies of the original recording to the cast (that's all the pay they got), the cast gave the performance "rave" reviews (what else?), so we thought that others might enjoy this little journey into the theatrical. We decided to offer it to you at a bargain price. Although scarcely award theater, the "broadcast" is funny - particularly the mistakes - and stars prominent Sherlockians (even if not great actors!!). The "show" runs a little over 1/2 hour. It is a fun thing!
