I am not sure when I first got this, but I do recognize one quick jingle on this demo that I purchased for WFEC in Harrisburg. That would have been 1975. The package might have been around for several years before that. I have a few of these authentic GWINSOUND demos from that era, all on 4-inch, small-hub reels in a green and blue-gray box. You will notice I wrote my name on the box of this particular demo. We haven’t featured much about GWINSOUND on this site. Let me tell you what I remember, and our honored guests can correct my faulty memory, fill in the blanks and expand on the history. Tommy Gwin was somehow involved with PAMS for a few years, but he went off on his own. Based in Dallas, he had access to many vocalists and musicians in the area. His jingles were good and, best of all, they were affordable. I did business with Gwinsound at WYCL and WFEC , and even though I only bought a few jingles each time, I was always pleased with the results. This demo, for WTRY in Albany, is a nice reminder of the quality available from Gwinsound in those days. Tommy Gwin passed away on June 30, 2006. He was 78.
