If you love Dan Ingram, sit back and enjoy a half hour of his Opening (or Closing)  Day After Day! The original tape was board output and the mic, jingle and sound levels were all over the place. It’s remarkable to hear how much the WABC processing took care of everything. There’s some thin audio at the top with the newsman’s fluff. I suspect that was not part of the original recording.This is a wonderful assembly of talent, featuring Ron Lundy, Chuck Leonard and the finest Howard Cosell bits. Dan had a talent for taking previously recorded conversations with The Coach and editing them into true radio moments. His “time once again to Broach the Coach” is another reason Dan and his WABC years are legendary. He also finds time to skewer Bruce Morrow on his move to WNBC.
So, let’s re-visit the Summer of 1974. The open seems to begin a few days before the Fourth of July. All together now…
bum..bah-bum..Double-you A B C’s Dan In-gram …Go Go Go…
