Metro Radio Bloopers 1981

Pirate Fm Song

Pirate Song - No Vocal

In 1979, TM Productions (Dallas) sold a package of radio jingles to KYGO-FM, Denver.  The station opted for the "L.A. vocals" by the Ron Hicklin Singers.  The jingles came from TM's "Winning Score" and "Fusion" packages.
Since I was then living in L.A., TM asked me to record and mix the jingles, along with Program Director John Driscoll.  It was October 10, 1979.  We did the vocals at Bell Sound Studios (Dick Hart engineered), then had to leave with the master 24-tk because the session ran long and Orson Welles had the studio booked after us,  (Sadly, we didn't get to meet him.)
We went to Crimson Sound, where I mixed the package, then to the Village Recorder for editing.  
Here's the package, which I dubbed to CD years later.  It's in stereo, and the track list is on my Facebook page. 
Hope you enjoy it!
