I posted this information in another thread in this category, but I'm starting it as it's own as well in case some aren't following that thread. FREE just over an hour long Halloween Themed music show... read on..
Alright, I admit it. Back in 1991 I recorded a special Halloween themes radio program that we have re-run at the commercial station where I wori, every year since. It's mostly obscure records from my collection that had a scary or Halloween theme to them.. It's just over an hour long. I've edited out all the references to KOZY, and all the station breaks (there may be a couple bumpy edits) so it's generic that anyone (who can play licensed music) can play it on their stations and anyone else can listen and enjoy.
This is a LIVE aircheck. For mahy years I did a Saturday morning show called "The Record Attic" where for 90 minutes i coule find oddball records in my attic and play them. Accept on Halloween I went to the "Record Dungeon" instead. The echo effect on my voice was done LIVE while on the air but using an available Magnecorder (reel to reel for those who aren't familier) and runing the audio in to it, then back out off the playback head and mixing it live on the air console. I had a second Maggie recording the show live off the air, from which I saved the show and we've rerun it every year since. NOW Part 15 guys have access to it! Besides, you get to hear what I sounded like something like 25 years ago! So, enjoy.

Where did you get those songs?
I listened to them a bunch of
times! You have the "broadcast voice"
I never had. And your knowledge of
music obviously covers a wide area.
Well done!

Thanks Bruce, glad you liked it.
I've been a record collector (hoarder, actually) since I was about 2 years old - when I got my first record player (that would be since 1960). I have about 40,000 records in my collection. I don't really collect them, I play and enjoy them.
I've been on the air for 42 years this coming spring, so my head has been gathering music trivia for a long time!
Glad you enjoyed the program.
