… This is the way I make my living …
[Description by Uncle Ricky, contributed by John Quincy]
It wasn’t too difficult to date this one. In addition to lots of classic PAMS, there’s a custom jingle for the date! It’s the first working day of the New Year of 1965, and Sam Hale is playing the hits on Quixie in Dixie while taking votes for the Housewives’ Hit Parade. George T. McIntire offers sports and news. There are a couple of musical rarities and the aircheck concludes with the perfect “last word”.
WQXI is giving away an outhouse, but there are two additional contests underway, a New Year’s Resolution contest, and a Money Match game. $79 seems like an appropriate prize from Audio 79. And it’s a shame that cigarettes turned out to be so deadly. There are two Winston spots and that jingle is one of the best, ever.
Sam was a 2010 Career Achievement Inductee at the Georgia Radio Hall of Fame. He passed away in August, 2015. He was 78.
Two songs were restored.
