Dan Daniel - WMCA - 1969
Dan Daniel
In 1969 the Coca Cola Company and AFRTS somehow arranged for a series of albums to be recorded to be distributed to the troops. I can't find documentation of the project. Some of the top jocks in the country recorded them. These are hard to find. Dan Daniel was a mid 1950s AFRTS vet in the Navy. Last week Neil found this one. Enjoy!
