Jack Armstrong, WMQX Greensboro, NC, 09-03-2003, Pt. 2 (0:53:52)

… The only problem is your nose falls off, and people mistake you for Michael Jackson …

[Description by Uncle Ricky]

Here’s Part Two of Jack Armstrong and The Breakfast Bunch on WMQX-FM in Greensboro, N.C., from the morning of September 3, 2003. This partially-edited segment was broadcast between 6:30 and 7:30 AM.
The Breakfast Bunchers (Dee Brockwell, Sky Angel Karen and Ed Snow) join The Gorilla for Jack’s version of Animal Stories, (don’t tell Larry and Little Tommy!) and Gorilla actually makes it funny! There are more guesses at Question Impossible, from the first hour, and still another contest feature called Words & Music.

One production note: I hope, eventually, someone put a nice slow fade on that Sky Angel intro, or extended it, or did something! It cuts off abruptly during her reports, and that sounds ugly.

Welcome to the new ReelRadio!

This site is now operated by the North Carolina Broadcast History Museum. 

We want to thank the board of ReelRadio, Inc. for their stewardship since the passing of the founder Richard Irwin in 2018.  It has not been easy and they have maintained the exhibits for future generations to enjoy.

I met Richard Irwin, aka Uncle Ricky, when we were freshmen at East Carolina University.  We both had worked at local stations in our hometowns.  No one was more passionate about radio, especially Top 40 radio, than my friend Richard. 

Our goals with this site are to preserve the exhibits and make them available free of charge for people to enjoy.  Over time, we hope to add some airchecks to the site.  This will not happen immediately.  Time and resources will determine the future of new exhibits. 

Many thanks to the web folks at the Beasley Media Group for countless hours of work.  Again thanks to the board members of ReelRadio, Inc. for their faith in us. 

Richard Irwin’s hope was that his site would live on long after his passing. He said, “I hope REELRADIO will survive as my contribution to the ‘radio business’. The business is allowed to forget me, but the business should never forget the great era of radio that we celebrate here”.

We remember Richard and we thank him. If you enjoy this new site, we would appreciate a contribution. We hope you enjoy the new ReelRadio!
