Transcript

A tale well calculated to keep you in. Frost's bent. I looked over his shoulder to see that they'd open mouth of a nice blue 45. And suddenly I knew what a man feels like when he's just finished digging his own grave.

Listen now to Act 1 of Death of an Old Flame, starring Larry Haines and Terry Keene, and written especially for suspense by George Bamber. It was Warren, Ronnie Warren. I played piano. I play what they call piano bars.

That's where they tear the top off a baby grand and build a counter all the way around to the jerks that put their drinks on. I must have played back and forth across the country a dozen times.

Never the top spots, but all the joints I worked kept the pianos too. There I mean, the lady wants to hear it, so... That's Lee L. The Oldest Place. Not a bad guy, his owner's girl, but still an owner.

I look up at the chick at the far end of the piano. She smiles, eyes smile, slow and shy. You know, I gave her the old cock a spaniel. Like a boy fresh out of college.

Then she eats up. He even wrote it out for you. Yes, so I see. 150 a week to expend her. It just stumbles in the bag. I'd think it if she was going to make a move.

She'd wait for her backless turn. Says she'd like to hear stardust. Oh, no. Well, tell her that looks more like a telephone number to me. I think she wants you to call her. My color I never learned how to use a phone.
