JANE BARBE, "The Telephone Lady," is the guest as Dennis Daily shares another of his more than 200 "American Montage" broadcasts from his days with the old UPI Radio Network. Jane Barbe was, at one time, the most frequently heard female voice in the English-speaking world.

The next time you feel "annoyed" when you hear an older radio announcer, remember one thing ... you don't have to ask us to repeat ourselves.

To bad there isn't a PC or Mac version of Jane Barbe announcing time and temperature from one's desktop....

She could probably play some AWESOME pranks on people if she wanted to.

I know that everybody loves Jane. Mary Moore moved me. I didn't know her name was Mary Moore until recently. Jane sounded to much like she was singing to me especially on the #2...and the 6 to me was spoken too hard by Jane, Mary Moore sounded like a groovy school teacher. Jane is second place to me . . . I miss them both . . . I loved those recordings . . . After school and alone, I would call locally or toll free numbers to reach recordings all over. Connecticut was the last to carry Mary.
