Dialogue With Martian Trombone
What ever happened to the Ramon Raquello Orchestra after that night when Orson Welles brought the world to the brink of war with the Martians? They played well at the beginning, but then disappeared as the situation worsened. Now the story can be told.
This work has been presented before, but never like this. Recorded at the HEAR Now Audio Festival in Kansas City in June, as the opening of the Mark Time Awards presentation. It features Firesign Theatre members David Ossman and Philip Proctor, plus Proctor’s wife, Melinda Peterson and Ossman’s son, Orson.
