Friends, I am listening to a set of CDs sent to me by Paul.
There are 90 of them. Disc 1 had the voices of Army Specialist David Heller and Army Specialist Pat Sajak.
Disc 2 is ten minutes in, and it has Paul Bottoms from the afternoon Panorama telescoped. That makes these two from 1968. Army Specialist Jim Amlois (?) with a 01:00 Soul Shake kickoff for the Orient Express, also on Disc 2. OK folks, what’s his correct last name?
I’ll be posting these notes for the next three hours as they play through. Get your reservations in, because these will be at the reunion and up for grabs!

Welcome back, Bob. We are discussing a set of CDs I received from Paul Kasper. 90 of them. I have been ill today and haven't been able to pull any more names from the discs. I will try to get back to them tomorrow, once this nasty headache goes away. Ken

Jim, Remember that if you post an entire song you may be violating copyright law. After getting warned about that [by none other than Adrian Cronauer, Atty at law] I elected not to post entire radio shows. best wishes

CD 5 begins with a station ID of AFRS, then segues to an AFVN ID. Dawnbuster with the Sajak long good morning, and with what sounds like Jay. Then segues to Dawnbuster with Les Howard Jacobi. Followed by fake interview, profanity, “What the Captain means is …”
More humor, a fake top ten countdown.
Bloopers.
The May ’68 bombing newscast.
Dawnbuster opening with Jim Burnside’s rocket interruption.
TV sign off.
More bloopers, profanity.
Chris Noel blooper reading voting spot.
Remainder is the “End of an Era” series.

Look at my post of 2:46 this afternoon, Rick. I won’t get through them in a week. 90 CDs, everything from programs to out-takes to bloopers to air checks to the sound of attacks that got out over the air and how we covered them as just a part of the show.

Friends:
Sorry I haven’t been posting more content names today. I became ill last night, probably from eating my own cooking, and I am still fighting whatever it is that’s trying to do me in.
To show you how much I value everyone on the list, I soaked this message in Pine Sol to prevent the spread of my bugs.

Have you found anything from '64 - '65?
I know I was in an audio file that was saved a number of years ago with the news ID. I am still looking for any recording of "Diamonds in the Mist" which I did on Sunday evenings from 6 to 10 back then.

Ken,
I just found this in my "future things for the Web site" folder. 90 CDs is a lot of CDs, but if you can get them or copies of them to me (either as CDs or on thumb drive(s), perhaps I can post them on the Web.

Sorry, I must have missed an original posting on this overall collection. Could you describe what you have and how you got it? Where did it come from? Who made the recordings? How did they get into a CD format? This sounds like a potentially important archives.
