![]() The recording heard here is not the complete show, but it's nice anyway. On March 2, 1959, Bing Crosby hosted a television special. On the other hand, as you'll hear in this episode, there were at least some weeks when Jesus didn't appear at all.ĭownload: The Goodyear Tire and Rubber Company Presents - The Greatest Story Every Told Speaking of corporations which produced products that many Americans used every single day, The Goodyear Tire and Rubber Company produced, for almost exactly 10 years, a series called "The Greatest Story Ever Told", built around the life of Christ - at least to the degree that Jesus, when he spoke in the series, only said those things captured in the Bible. Those were certainly different days, corporate-wise, eh?ĭownload: Speeches and Music at a Telephone Company Convention As noted at the top, the rest of today's offering fall into the category of "Things I Think Might Be Worth Sharing, And Which Some People Might Find Interesting, But Which I Don't Have a Whole Lot to Say About"įirst up, some speeches that were made at a large Bell Telephone gathering, presumably a convention, followed by some music heard at that same same event, performed by - of all things - a full mixed chorus (80 members) made up of nothing but various Telephone company employees. Okay, so those were my two big shares for the post, I suppose. The entire recording is just over an hour long.ĭownload: Humble Harve Miller on KBLA, Los Angeles, 6-26-65 That's where the small amount of recording from the second side of the tape begins. There is a very brief gap in this tape at around the 48 minute point - a little bit of a PSA is missed. In this clip, it's June 26th, 1965, he is fairly newly landed at KBLA, Burbank, and he's not only spinning the hits, but a few b-sides, a few oldies, and tracks from Capitol's then-latest butchery of a Beatles album, "Beatles VI", which had been released 12 days earlier. For here we have the legendary Los Angeles area Disc Jockey, "Humble" Harve Miller. Let's start with the recording I think maybe will hold the most interest for the largest number of readers/listeners. You can find it here, and also in the links, to the right. Additionally, OldRadios90 shared that he has added more recordings to his page, which is an extremely worthwhile visit. In other helpful comments, "Snoopy" has figured out that the second Jesse Coopwood tape heard here is from September 9th, 1951, an anonymous commenter has identified that the audio letter I shared in that same post was recorded about 19 years later, on September 24th, 1970 (see those comments, as well, for more information), and my Star Ads loving pal, Larry, caught something I missed, which is that Kenny Biggs, in this post, gave the date of the recording, at least for part one of the tape, as being yet another September date, in this case, September 16th, 1965.įinally, frequent participant "OldRadios90" wrote in to say that he'd acquired one of what he says were "The first battery operated Solid State Recorders", the Steelman Transitape, which you can see here. The posts are here and here, and you can find the names of the tracks in the comments of each post. It seems that they were both from a Capitol series of production music called the Hi-"Q" stock music library. Schad has very helpfully put names to two different tapes I featured in two different posts. I'm still catching up on a lot of things, so I'm going to feature another of my "Blowout Posts", with a dozen offerings and, for the most part, very little in the way of explanation.īut first, I want to review a few comments. Last month proved very busy, to the point that, for the first time in over 18 months, I only posted once that month.
