Remembering Bob Bione

There was a time when Sunday nights were magic. From 10 to 12 on KVMR Bob Bione would read novels and short stories in a voice that even today I can still hear when reading. I turned a few people onto his "Readings in Speculative Fiction"show and a few others have found me since then.

I am looking for recordings of Bob reading and for more information about him and his show. Specifically:

What years did Bob's show run on KVMR - Ans: 79-85 (from KJ)
Which novels and short stories did he read?
When did he die? - Ans: 85 (from KJ)

Recordings:

I have at least one recording of him reading a story and possibly a few more on unmarked cassette tapes which are waiting to be transferred to computer. Please contact me if you have any information about Bob or recordings of him speaking or reading. My email address is here.

Below is a partial list of the works read during the time the show was on the air.

Known novels:

From Beyond by H.P. Lovecraft
