Title: Tom Reilly from New Zealand
Post by: San Nakji on January 24, 2008, 05:28:18 PM
Nope, that's not me....

He is a fellow countryman though.

Anyone know where in the archive I can find his call(s) please?

Thank you Best Show peoples.

I remember there used to be a semi-frequent caller to the show from NZ- that was a while back. I can't remember if his name was Tom Reilly. It's been a while since I listened to the 2002/2003 archives. I might start digging through the archives, now that you got me curious.

Reilly started listening around the time I started chatting, in spring of 2005.  He and I had a couple of discussions on the board, because he lived near Richmond, where my family lived back in 1962-63.  We also shared a liking for zombies.  The call that's sampled in the theme song is certainly from his first and perhaps only call.

He was a nice fellow; I miss him.

He called a couple of times in 2006:

8/15/06 (http://www.recidivism.org/2006/08/the_kingman_of_comedy.html).

9/12/06 (http://www.recidivism.org/2006/09/tom_is_not_afraid_of_air_ameri.html).

I edited the recap of the 9/12/06 Riley/Reilly call after the director of the Far Off Town -- Dunedin To Nashville documentary e-mailed me to say that most of what Riley said was false.
