… cut it out, I’m doin’ a legal station break …
Description by Uncle Ricky
Contributor David Critchfield also recorded this exhibit, using his SONY TC-209 cassette recorder and his SONY STR-6055 AM/FM receiver, purchased in Tokyo in September 1972, and still working at the time of his death in December, 2001. David wrote that this recording was “scoped mostly by using the pause button” on the recorder. This presentation was mixed to smooth some of those rough edits. The Seattle Radio Hall of Fame Weekend was broadcast by KYYX on March 31 and April 1, 1979.
David also wrote:
“Wall to Wall Zingers on the tape. We have Lan Roberts, Larry Lujack, Tom Murphy, Jerry Kaye, Pat O’Day and Burl Barer. Irreverence is largely the main theme.”
David’s original recording included the closing song, which was restored for this exhibit. And according to Dan Packard of Portland Radio Guide, this reunion was automated and pre-recorded. It ran on their automation system. Dan wrote that “the voice tracks were recorded in a couple of different sessions with program director Tony Stone (he’s the laughter in the background in many of the takes). One session was recorded after a big dinner and bar session at Seattle’s El Goucho.”
Remarkably, only a few seconds of this exhibit are duplicated in our September, 2001 presentation of The Seattle Radio Crazies Reunion from Ultimate Radio Bootleg, Volume III.
