Subject: [BC] Old Jingles & Nostalgic Relics


Is there anywhere on the net people have collected old radio station jingles? 
I worked at a daytimer once that had all the old jingles from the 40's and
50's on reel to reel tape and file cabinets full of old photos of their air
talent and the write ups about how wonderful they were for sales use.  The new
owner came in and burned everything up.  That's more tragic than a fire to the
transmitter.  Some people have no nostalgia in their bones.

Quick story. I have been so busy (sorry Al) I've not been able to do much
email or send promised CD's of Jingles to other people so I'm going to have to
put orders on hold. :) I don't have collections like a good friend of mine in
Seattle has but I do have a few. At any rate and speaking of this friend in
Seattle. Engineers at KFRC in San Francisco were having a Spring cleaning
fest. I believe it was for the installation of the new studios. To make the
long story short, this friend of mine found the MASTERS...yes THE MASTERS of
the Johnny Mann Singers Jingles for the station in a dumpster out in the
alley. Well, you know the rest of the story. He has (and has dubbed for me)
the Master that was cut back in 1966 when Bill Drake took KFRC to his format
after the success at KHJ in Los Angeles. Yes, some people have no nostalgia in
their bones. I told the story of how Fred Krock (hope he's not lurking in the
group) doesn't like to talk (at least that's what I've been told) about his
days at San Francisco's first Top-40 station KOBY. Then again, I'm not in his
shoes and his memories may be different than mine.
