Jim Pewter 1976
Jim was another giant, I wish I had more tape of the show. Jim was an AFKN vet, who went on to be a successful producer, songwriter and jock. Today we take another look at rocks beginnings. The top seven hits of 1964.
Straight ahead, don't bunch up...

Jim Pewter 1976
Jim shared this 1969 picture with Al Jardine of the Beach Boys.
Picture was taken at AFRTS and is copyrighted Playground Productions.
Used with permission.
I'm thinking SUMMERTIME, cue the Jaymies, Billy Stewart or Eddie Cochran. Jim Pewter knew these things. Every day an encylopedia of the music. I learned a lot.

Roger Carroll 1976
This is from the Torrejon airchecks. Wolfman finishes a show, station break and then Roger Carroll with the happy hour. Were Roger and the Wolf scheduled adjacent? That'd be odd.
It's a great listen

Jim Pewter 1976
A Friday, a new year and Jim Pewter. Jim celebrated this music every day. Writing, performing, playing the songs on the radio and being a record dealer. He loves and shares this music.

This Is Your FBI - Christmas
Stacy Harris
In 1976 we were still airing Old Time Radio like "This Is Your FBI", starring Stacy Harris, who you may remember from Dragnet. Here's the Christmas show..
The system cue at the end of the show sure sounds like George Fenneman..

This is fun. Vicente recorded a bunch of excerpts from the Torrejon station in 1976. An extended visit with Wolfman Jack. We also hear from Don Tracy, Roger Carroll and Tom Campbell. A basket of memories.

Adventure Theater - 1976
Announcer William Conrad
We had a lot of great Old Time Radio, repackaged over the decades. That worked well because in a lot of countries we had radio but not television well into the 80s. Adventure Theater had the classics. Today a 1955 show, well calculated to keep you in... Suspense.

Adventure Theatre - 1976
In the 70s and 80s AFRTS went back to the shows that had been run over the years and repackaged them into "Adventure Theatre". There were still a lot of places with no television.
"Zero Hour" had been done several times on Dimesion X, Escape and on Future Tense. This was originally on a 1955 Suspense broadcast.
Isa Ashdown, John Dehner (narrator), Parley Baer, Paula Winslowe, Beverly Hanley, Eve McVeagh, Ray Bradbury (author), Antony Ellis (adaptor, producer, director), Larry Thor (announcer), Lucien Moraweck (composer), Leith Stevens (composer), Wilbur Hatch (conductor), Bill James (sound patterns), Ray Kemper (sound patterns).

Matt Willoughby AFKN - 1976
I joined the Army in 1973 with a guaranteed enlistment for DINFOS. I tried to join before to go to Vietnam but my brother was a helicopter pilot over there then and they wouldn't let me go because of the sole surviving son rule. So when I could join they weren't sending anyone to Vietnam anymore. I grew up in the Panama Canal Zone watching SCN and decided to go into broadcasting since I had some radio experience in Arizona when my parents retired. I met my wife Kim at DINFOS and we got married. I was first assigned to SCN but when the Army learned we were married it assigned us to Korea. She was assigned to the Public Affairs Office and I to AFKN. I did radio and television news until 1976. But I convinced Bob Zix to let me do a half hour album rock show with him and others that was recorded and aired late nights. We each DJed our own show. Bob liked my show but the brass didn't like the format and it was canceled. After processing out of the Army in 1976 I went on to jobs in television and radio in Arizona, Washington, D.C..and North Carolina. I am now retired and recently got a job working part time at a Cabelas store in Garner North Carolina. Kim became a teacher and is now retired as well.
It would be interesting if anyone remembers this patch some of us made up.
