a year-round overture was just what I was looking for [By Uncle Ricky] This demo for the TM Productions RKOverture was delivered to me by the United States Postal Service, sometime in 1979. News of the passing of Tom Merriman on November 11, 2009 moved me to give it one more listen, and to share it with you in our Production Room. Charlie Van Dyke , who narrates this demo, worked briefly for WRKO (Boston) around this time, and the station was apparently launching a new “adult contemporary” image with this fully-orchestrated and undoubtedly expensive jingle package. This demo is very generous, with every cut, and alternate versions, “in the clear.” It’s 100% TM with big, powerful instrumentals that would do any voice-over more than proud.
