     Being on old time radio buff I have many of their shows on CD's, along   
   with thousands of other old radio shows.

     Don't recall Capt Video, since on DuMont and we didn't have that network   
   or who the singing lady was but did have the other shows.   
     We didn't have Sid Ceasar's show but a local show instead.   
     Our first station was WSAZ, NBC, ch 3, that went on the air in late 1949.    
   Then came WCHS, ch 8 (Charleston), CBS, c. 1951.  WHTN (now WOWK) Ch 13 was   
   ABC and came along around 1956.   
     (WCHS and WOWK switched networks a couple of times over the years, but   
   WSAZ was always NBC)

     Often in a restaurant the server will say "My name is Mary/John, I'll be   
   your server".  I reply "My name is Joe, I'll be your customer".

     Ain't that the truth!   
     I will sometimes wave my hand over my mask, point to mine then theirs and   
   give a thumbs up at times as sort of secret code.  People will be wearing a   
   "I hate this dumb mask", "I don't like being muzzled", etc printed on their   
   masks.
