Early AFN

I've just received a bunch of local AFN shows from the 1940s and 1950s. Anyone interested?

AFRTS Canada

Our Friends to the North at d-moose will have AFRTS in the spotlight this weekend. Tip of the hat to the stations that were at:
Armstrong, Ontario
Frobisher Bay
Goose Bay Labrador
Harmon AFB Stephenville Newfoundland
Hopedale Newfoundland
Pagwa River, Ontario
Prince George BC
Ramore Ontario
Resolution Island
Seglek Bay, Newfoundland
St Anthony Newfoundland
Sioux Lookout, Ontario

Those were all one the air in 1961, apparently the libraries ended up at the CBC.

d-moose is a really neat streaming station. http://www.d-moos.com

Jim Pewter

Gene Price, Charlie Tuna and Jim Pewter.

Jim Pewter, writer, musician and AFRTS vet Jim Pewter had an incredible 30 year run. This one is a novelty. Jim's guest is Barry White.

John Doremus

I found some complete John Doremus shows. John originated in-flight music on aircraft and did a nighttime show in Chicago that was eventually syndicated by the airlines to a lot of stations. John was one of the giants of broadcasting in general and to AFRTS in particular

1. John Doremus 156 pt 2
2. John Doremus 221
3. John Doremus 222

LaRita Shelby

LaRita has a new Radioscope report

She's sounding better than ever. How does she sound younger?

Rita has a new album, Date with A Song. It swings.

Magic of Music 1958

This comes from Rand's esoteric radio. AFRTS aired a USMC recruiting show. On this one Marine Bob Osterman talks with Terry Gibbs.

Command Performance 1944

It's earlier than usual but really fascinating..

Stay Tuna'd

Just received a really wonderful email from Charlie Tuna. Says that he's busier than ever."And I’m still catching up on emails, website updates, daily and weekend radio syndication, TV pilots, trip back home to Nebraska to emcee their annual Broadcasters Awards celebration, as well as my K-Earth 101 Los Angeles broadcasting duties" It's really great to hear. He's a class act. The picture, of course is with Lionel Ritchie. See Charlie's website at charlietuna.com

Bouncing In Bavaria 1964

Clem Stein checked in with a great aircheck. His last "Bouncing in Bavaria" show on AFN. After the service Clem became a very successful businessman and has a new book with financial advice. Take a look at it click here. And just generally keeping busy
"Check out my blog site: Clemba.blogspot.com and my book's site: www.Lifestreetsmart.com I also wrote a novel last year when I was living in France for 6 months and I wrote a children's book while sitting around at my home in Tahoe."

Stars over Los Angeles

Whenever I can locate the AFRTS-LA jocks I ask if they mind us sharing the programs. So far their reactions have been anywhere from excited to not believing that anyone would still care. So far everyone has said 'hey, why not' or better when I've asked. Thank you Charlie Tuna, Gene Price, Jim Pewter, LaRita Shelby, Chris Noel, the Wolfman Jack estate and I've probably left someone out. Thank you.
