Chris Noel - Christmas 1967
Because of the way the transcription disks were sent out, there was no way to tell when they were actually broadcast... Except for Christmas week. That week we would get disks with actual airdates. They'd send them almost a month early to make that happen.

Jubilee - Christmas 1948
It's Christmas 1948. Bud Widdom with some amazing talent, it's Jubilee!!!
Jubilee. Program #302. 12/0/1948. A Christmas show with all the continuity in rhyme. Well done! The first tune is, "The Peanut Vendor." Kay Starr sings, "Ain't Misbehavin'." This sounds like an assembled program.

John Doremus 1967
What an incredible voice. Mr Doremus began this style of late night radio on WMAQ Chicago and syndicated on the BIG stations. He also 'invented' in flight music.
Command Performance - Christmas 1942
Command Performance was an amazing thing. All of the biggest stars made themselves available for the troops. It didn't matter which network or studio. It was the biggest stars and it was all for he troops. This is the big Christmas show from the first year of the network. Merry Christmas!

Jim Pewter Christmas In Korea 1964
Jim Pewter with Little Richard and Bumps Blackwell 1966
Jim Pewter sent this along, Greetings during the Christmas season 1964. At the time I was PFC Jim Pewter, soon to be SP/4. I wrote Don French, PD at KFWB Los Angeles and requested the DJs send a holiday greeting to Radio Cavalier, which later became radio tomahawk.
In 1959 Don French was the PD at KDWB in St Paul. Don added my beta single Little Girl b/w Blue Blue Denims to the KDWB fab 40.
Greetings from, Johnny G, Larry McCormick, Bill Balance, Roger Christian, Gene Weed, Joe Yokum, Sam Riddle.
From 1958-1963 KFWB was the best top 40 station I ever heard. Later when I returned I became close friends with Roger Christian and co-hosted rock n roll shows with Bill Balance.
