This presentation was created to make people excited about Radio and making changes to their radio station. The whole premise was to showcase Thomas McMurray Ideas quality. It was never intended that we would make “your” radio station sound like the presentation. Hundreds of copies were mailed as promotional material to stations across America. Accompanying this piece were 400-500 35mm slides that were shown and synchronized with the audio track when presented “live” for potential clients. From beginning to end it tells the story of what I grew up hearing, then later in a contemporary sense listened to and created everyday. If I could go back, my business card would read Radio Producer. It begins with a brief montage of Radio’s earliest days, then a montage of what radio sounded like nationwide in 1971. The 1971 montage that I recycled was produced by Chuck Blore for Miles David at the Radio Advertising Bureau. I also mixed in several special pieces personally collected. It’s hard to recall every 10 second mix and apply sequential credits. Consider this a collection of incredible sound created by many talented and special people that I post produced. Recurring effects were “needle drop”. Starting with a Simon & Garfunkle idea in 1966, jocks and programmers all across the country often pulled those magnificent “All Night Without Pay Sessions” – Incredible things were created. Is this done anymore? I did my share, all from the heart. My mix of Nixon and Sinatra was one of those “lost” sessions. The Neil Diamond, Fifth Dimension and Jackie DeShannon parodies are from a Gavin Awards presentation circa 1970. My only reward was to “strike an emotion and make something happen”. For me, those times were the best part of radio. Let’s Make Tomorrow Together is a TMI original track, that yours truly wrote, participated in and produced. My mission statement, on which I based my success, and which I applied to all I believed and practiced follows the Let’s Make Tomorrow Together jingle. It’s lovingly voiced by the late Jimmy Patterson and myself. Next are airchecks of WBT 1972, featuring Patterson, Frank Richardson, Jim Forrest, Ty Boyd, Jack Petry, Geoff Fox and Mike Ivers. All jingles and stagings are PAMS, various series and custom. We are also treated to the magical voice of Johnny Olson who graciously contributed (without remuneration) many of the WBT ID’s, Show Openings and Closers. That’s Big Dan Ingram on the General Motors Commercials, produced in the WBT Jeffersonics studios. The presentation ends with the WBT Surprise jingle, a cut from a contest that Johnny Olson and I co-produced at Mark Century Studios in New York City. The Surprise contest was never aired. My most special thanks to Mike Ivers, John Lambis, Chuck Blore, Jim Hampton and Jeff Mathieu.
