[Description by Uncle Ricky]
Charlie Greer (1923-1996) was on WABC for a long time. From many miles away, through the fading and static, I remember Charlie as the pitchman for those rhythmic Dennison’s spots  bedtime stories from the proverbial transistor radio under my pillow. Hearing them again reminds me how strange I thought it all was. If I lived in New York, I could shop at Dennison’s at 1 in the morning!
This wonderful aircheck from Man from Mars includes several Dennison’s spots, plus a Palisades Amusement Park spot. Jim Branch does the newscast. I initially suspected this recording was made from WABC-FM, but Don Tandler tells me the aircheck was made in the WABC studios by Charlie Greer himself, and willed to fan Steve Thomas. Contributor Ed Brouder received it from a fellow collector in Utah, years ago. It’s not truly “high-fidelity”, but the clarity and presence of the overall recording is quite different from the reverb and hetrodyne-enhanced memories of my pillow-surfing years.
