Product Description
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?" This book answers that question and many more, including, "Who performed it?" "Who recorded it?" "When?" "Where?". Set in Detroit, New York, Hollywood, and Mexico City against a backdrop of cliffhanging events that shaped the broadcasting industry, the story is as great an adventure as any heard on the show itself.

A remarkable and invaluable research text July 22, 1998
6 out of 7 found this review helpful
Reginald Jones has done scholarship a real service by uncovering the most minute details of the economic and physical circumstances behind the production of the haunting background music for "The Lone Ranger" radio and television series. This thoroughly researched book should be known by historians, film critics, literary theorists, and anyone who has ever wondered not only what that music was but why it sounded the way it did. A landmark wedding of devotion to a cause with meticulous archival study.
