… never understood that line about a cartridge in a pear tree …
[Description by Uncle Ricky]
The legendary Pat O’Day is featured in this partially unscoped and edited composite of KJR. These are bits and pieces of Pat’s 3-6 PM show on what is probably the Monday after Thanksgiving. Best Guess: Monday, November 28, 1966. This exhibit has been edited and some of the music on this exhibit has been restored.
Mr. O’Day overcomes many obstacles in this composite. And he perseveres, despite a malfunctioning EBS receiver, interference from Tom Murphy, the ever-elusive commercial copy, a seven-year-old co-host with a hangover, and his serious commitment to Julie Christie. Notice that he doesn’t even cue some of the records, he just starts ’em and talks or makes guitar sounds until he hears the cue scratch. So casual!
And this exhibit is stuffed with classic commercial jingles. We are treated
to spots for Vox, Nancy Sinatra for Coca-Cola, a sultry solicitation for Caravelle watches, the Dodge Dear Reb campaign, and a VERY smooth jing sing for Jay Jacobs? – never heard of it. Liked hearing it, though! And for you All-Americans, there a few classic PAMS jingles, too.
