Book Synopsis

The most popular radio adventure show in history, The Lone Ranger held an audience of millions spellbound for over two decades. Key to its success was the music used on it music rendered so beautifully, chosen with such delicate precision, that for half a century listeners have frantically searched for an answer to the question, What was the music used on the Lone Ranger?

Booknews

Jones (since the age of six, a devotee of Lone Ranger radio broadcasts) presents the results of his research as to what music was used, how much was classical and how much wasn't, where it came from, when and where it was performed and recorded, and other relevant historical information of interest to those who, in bygone days, relished the hour when the masked man and Silver rode the radio waves. The book contains many b&w photographs. This is a reprint of 1987 work. Annotation c. Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
