New Exhibits for the Week of November 15, 2009 Introductions by Uncle Ricky

Robert W. Morgan KHJ HRR Hours 17-18, 1969-02-22 This exhibit, contributed by Norm Garr, presents Hour 18 and the last half-hour of Hour 17 of the First and Original History Of Rock And Roll, as broadcast by KHJ in the wee morning hours of February 22, 1969. It's all about 1960 and 1961, you shoulda been there. It turns out fuzz guitar was just a bad amplifier. Who knew? Thanks, Norm. TM Productions RKOverture Demo This demo for the TM Productions RKOverture was delivered to Uncle Ricky 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. Tom Merriman Tribute Jingles, 2008 Thanks to Tracy Carman of Media Preservation Foundation and JINGLES.ORG for this short, superlative exhibit of two classic TM jingles made for The Maestro — Tom Merriman, at a special tribute in September, 2008. Thank you, Tracy.

"... Todd (Storz) and some others were sitting around figuring out what they could do on their station and they noticed that WDSU had a program called the Top 20. And they thought if the Top 20 was successful, that the Top 40 would be even better - and that's what they said - We're going to be twice as good as WDSU 'cause we're gonna play - The Top 40." - Hon. Wm. L. Armstrong, U.S.S., Ret., Denver, Colorado from Radio's Revolution and the World's Happiest Broadcasters
