… I’ve got a cold date at the cemetery …
[Description by Uncle Ricky]
REELRADIO published an exhibit titled “Program Aids of ‘THAT HAUNTING THEME'” on Sunday, September 27, 2009, and I suggested (in comments) that if anyone wanted to produce a Halloween show incorporating
this “scary” 1964 radio station thematic package, I’d stream it.
Scott Lowe responded, asked me to send him some production elements, and this was the result. I found it very enjoyable, with just the right blend of familiar and strange halloween music, sfx, gags and genuinely interesting factoids about the tunes. As I told Scott, it was like “listening to the radio again.” And for me, particularly enjoyable because it was something produced for REELRADIO that, for once, was something completely new and fresh. Even better, I could find nothing seriously “wrong” with it, technically or formatically. I’m pretty picky about those things, so WOW – here’s someone who still knows how to make a radio show and have fun with sound.
The number of listeners to our special Halloween stream for 2009 is a fraction of those who might sample Scott’s program on a “demand” basis. So, it’s a permanent exhibit because it was a wonderful contribution to our Repository and I want to share it with as many listeners as possible. Thank you, Scott!
