We do another interview show, this time when we have a conversation
with longtime Baker Street Irregular Peter Blau ("Black Peter"). Peter
is one of the center points of the Sherlockian hub and has plenty of
great stories to tell. Add to that an audio comment from a listener,
and we've got a show that should not be missed.Topics covered in this week's show:01:50 Listener comment03:55 Begin interview with Peter Blau04:50 Peter defines the "average Sherlockian"06:25 My First Meeting with Sherlock Holmes09:20 Memories of visiting Ben Abramson's Argus Bookshop in New York11:22 Ben introduces Peter to The Baker Street Journal13:05 Memories of Edgar Smith, BSI dinners in the 1950s, and what "keeking" is18:10 Scuttlebutt from the Spermaceti Press27:00 The Red Circle of Washington, DC29:28 Peter discusses his role in the Baker Street Irregulars and the BSI Trust33:15 Peter's editorship at The Baker Street Journal34:04 A brief history of the BSJ editors35:10 Julian Wolff's one-man BSJ editorship & management37:10 Peter as a pitchman39:07 The subject of this year's BSJ Christmas Annual is announced!39:30 One of Peter's greatest regrets41:05 Sherlock Holmes inspired "Cats"??Links:The Baker Street JournalScuttlebutt from the Spermaceti PressThe Baker Street Irregulars TrustThe Sir Arthur Conan Doyle Sesquicentennial - May 7-9, 2009Macavity, the Mystery Cat
