“on referring to my notes” [REIG] Long-time students of Sherlock Holmes might think that Guy Warrack covered all there was to say in his 1947 classic Sherlock Holmes and Music. But longtime listeners of I Hear of Sherlock Everywhere know that there’s always something more to be discovered or said. Alexander Katz, BSI (“Sarasate”) and Karen Wilson, BSI (“Bartholomew Wilson”) have edited the latest volume in the BSI Press Professions series that focuses on music. Called Referring to My Notes: Music and the Sherlockian Canon, the volume covers everything from Holmes’s own violin to Irene Adler, music in the time of Sherlock Holmes, music inspired by Sherlock Holmes, and more. &nbsp; Full show notes:&nbsp; Patreon:&nbsp; Thank you to our sponsors&nbsp;&nbsp;and&nbsp;.

Referring to My Notes

“Now, then, listen to this” [SIGN]&nbsp;     Earlier this month, Audible and Treefort Media released a ten-part podcast,&nbsp;Moriarty: The Devil’s Game, written by Charles Kindinger and starring Dominic Monaghan, Billy Boyd, Phil Lamarr, Adam Godley, and Lindsay Whisler, with a special appearance by Curtis Armstrong. The story takes what we know from the traditional Holmes-Moriarty archrivalry and turns it on its head, getting us to familiar territory by taking a&nbsp;very&nbsp;different route indeed. Charles Kindinger joined us for an interview to talk about the inner workings of this Audible Original production, what inspired him to write it, and how he managed to tread the fine line of not alienating traditional Holmes fans while presenting a new theory. The&nbsp;Canonical Couplet quiz is available to test your wits just after the interview; if you correctly guess the story we're referring to, you'll be eligible for a drawing for some choice items from the IHOSE vaults.

Moriarty: The Devil's Game

“some interest to finish” [DANC]&nbsp;&nbsp;  We live in an age when Sherlock Holmes audio productions are more prolific than ever. For listeners of a show like I Hear of Sherlock Everywhere, that is excellent news indeed. And for fans of Big Finish Productions, there are plenty of stories from which to choose, both new and old. Big Finish executive producer, writer, composer, and actor Nicholas Briggs and writer Jonathan Barnes join us to talk about the creative process and output there. We cover dramatizations of some of David Stuart Davies' works, Conan Doyle's original stories, newly-written mysteries, and even a Doctor Who crossover — all of these and more are part of the Sherlock Holmes range of stories at Big Finish. Don't forget about the&nbsp;Canonical Couplet&nbsp;quiz: two lines of poetry and it's up to you to guess which story we're referring to.

Big Finish

It isn't often that one gets an opportunity to chat with an accomplished actor, either from the big screen, small screen, or the stage. Burt and Scott were joined by one that has crossed all three, but whom is certainly known for his musical turn as Sherlock Holmes in the 1965 musical "Baker Street: A Musical Adventure of Sherlock Holmes:": none other than Tony Award-winning actor Fritz Weaver.

Episode 26: A Musical Stroll Down Baker Street

While our listeners normally have to deal with the voices of Burt Wolder and Scott Monty, this episode is different. We're pleased to be able to bring you the smooth baritone of one Mr. David Ian Davies.

Episode 40: One Voice of Sherlock Holmes

“fitting subjects for this series of sketches” [REIG]
One of Burt's and Scott's great interests is music. When it converges with the world of Sherlock Holmes, it becomes all the more interesting. 

Joshua Harvey lives at that convergence and has some wonderful stories to tell about his history with music, with Sherlock Holmes, and with Patrick Gowers, the composer of the score of the Granada/ITV Sherlock Holmes series. 

In addition to his work with Gowers' material, Josh threw himself into a Canonical composing fit during the pandemic, writing theme songs for a variety of Sherlockian societies (aka "scions") that met both online and in person. We have samples of his work that may give other societies ideas about future commissions. 

There's a BIG surprise with regard to the Canonical Couplet quiz — one that you won't want to miss. And a prize awaits for the person who identifies the Sherlock Holmes story based on two lines of poetry and whose answer is randomly selected. Send your answer to comment @ ihearofsherlock .com by March 14, 2023 at 11:59 a.m. EST. The winner will be chosen at random from among all the correct answers. All listeners are eligible to play.

Sketches of Scions

“the reputation of being excellent company” [ENGR]    

For this 275th episode of I Hear of Sherlock Everywhere, we're joined by another podcast. It always delights us to talk about audio with other audio geeks. 

Joel Emery is writer and co-creator of Sherlock & Co., a new podcast from Goalhanger Podcasts. Together with his partner Adam Jarrell, they're dramatizing the entire canon of 60 stories in the form of a real-crime podcast, with John H. Watson as the narrator. 

It's an ambitious and creative endeavor, and we talked to Joel about his inspirations, the creative process, partnering with a podcast juggernaut, working with a cast on the other side of the globe, the sound design, writing for Watson as an audio everyman, the most challenging story to write, Joel's favorite, and much more.   

We have yet another Canonical Couplet&nbsp;that should be easy to solve. We'll have something from the IHOSE vaults for our winner. &nbsp;   Send your answer to comment @ ihearofsherlock .com by November 14, 2023 at 11:59 a.m. EST. All listeners are eligible to play.

Sherlock & Co.

We're joined by Bert Coules, head writer for the BBC Sherlock Holmes radio series, to discuss the history of Sherlock Holmes on radio.

Episode 68: Sherlock Holmes on Radio, Part 1

The second part of an in-depth look at Sherlock Holmes portrayals on the radio via an interview with Bert Coules, the head writer for the BBC Radio Sherlock Holmes series. Lots of audio clips, music and delightful conversation - including a listener contest!

Episode 69: Sherlock Holmes on Radio, Part 2

"Yes, Mr. Holmes, I teach music." [SOLI]

It's our final show of 2016, we welcome Karen Wilson to the program to discuss a variety of musical associations of hers with Sherlock Holmes. From teaching to composing to performing, she does it all, and incorporates that into her Sherlockian pursuits.

We're treated to one of the best toasts of the year, "Sherlock Holmes of Baker Street," performed for us by Karen. It was inspired by "Alexander Hamilton" from the hit musical Hamilton by Lin-Manuel Miranda, and it does not disappoint.

Karen shares with us her muse, the creative process, her other inspirations and more in this memorable interview. Plus, a solution for getting kids to put down those pesky electronic devices.  Burt and Scott mention some Sherlockian resolutions for 2017; what are yours? And do you have suggestions for guests for 2017? Let us know with a call, a comment, or an email.

Episode 111: Hip Hop Holmes

Episode 122 of I Hear of Sherlock Everywhere will feature the 7-year collaboration between Basil Rathbone and Nigel Bruce, the most famous Holmes and Watson pairing on the silver screen. Be sure to subscribe here or on http://ihearofsherlock.com.

I Hear of Sherlock Everywhere

Promo: Episode 122

"the faded script" [HOUN]&nbsp; We've all had experience listening to Sherlock Holmes audio programs. Right? RIGHT?? &nbsp; And just as we have favorite screen adaptations, we also have our special audio heroes as well. Rathbone and Bruce, Gielgud and Richardson, Shelley and Hobbes, Merrison and Williams... they all bring to mind a feeling of nostalgia for the stories. &nbsp; But there are many original episodes that have gone missing. And our guest, Ian Dickerson, has managed to track down some of the original scripts of the Rathbone/Bruce radio series that were lost to the ages. Between the Edith Meiser era and the Anthony Boucher / Dennis Green era, there was another writer&nbsp;— one known more for his stories about Simon Templar than anything else. And Ian managed to unearth them and put together a fine book on the topic. &nbsp;  Information on sponsors, links, and notes available below. &nbsp; And please consider becoming a&nbsp;Patron of the Arts.

“at this conference” [MAZA]&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp; Steven Doyle, BSI ("Western Morning News") is many things, among them half of the publishing team at Wessex Press and the&nbsp;Baker Street Journal. But more importantly for our topic on this episode, he's one of the sparking plugs behind&nbsp;From Gillette to Brett V.&nbsp; &nbsp; We haven't been able to make it to the previous four installments, so we asked Steve all about this conference dedicated to Sherlock Holmes of the stage, screen and radio.

Episode 145: From Gillette to Brett

"an incomparable actor" [STUD]
Anyone who is interested in the intersection of Sherlock Holmes and audio (that's why you're here, isn't it?) is familiar with the name Clive Merrison. 

The definitive Sherlock Holmes of the audio realm, Clive Merrison holds the distinction of being the only actor to play Sherlock Holmes in dramatized form in every one of the 60 stories from the Canon, as well as in 15 additional pastiches. Together with Michael Williams (and later Andrew Sachs), Merrison brought Holmes to life and gave him real humanity—particularly in the sometimes prickly, sometimes tender friendship with his Watson. 

We talked with Clive Merrison about his real-life friendship with Michael Williams, his time on the stage, what his Uncle Norman did to influence him, his adventures with "Hobbo," the actor he would sneak into the sound booth to watch perform and the actor from whom he wished he could flee from the recording studio, what made Sir Laurence Olivier hug him, the Sherlock role he turned down, the next Sherlock Holmes story he'd like to perform in, and much more. 

You won't want to miss this episode — and the eventual outtakes from it that will be available only to our Patreon supporters. See if you can test your knowledge with the Canonical Couplet: we give you two lines of poetry that describe one of stories, and you name it. The winner gets a copy of Bert Coules' 221 BBC. Entries are due by 11:59 pm EDT on October 29, 2020.
