Beginning my radio career in 1995, I can ask most fellow broadcaster, how many times can you say that you were the engineer for a 1930's band remote?

In the 90's I was lucky enough to be the broadcast / recording engineer for Johnny Crawford's Orchestra when they broadcast live from the Los Angeles County Museum Of Art on KUSC.  I was a mere teenager at the time.  The Executive producer, my recording mentor, and my friend Bill Vestal had faith to let me behind the controls because he knew how passionate I was about this band and the music.  Thank you Bill for believing in me!  One of my favorite moments in my career was this broadcast, in particular

From 1996-1999 Johnny Crawford & His Orchestra play four episodes of Sunday's At Four which aired on KUSC in Los Angeles.  This particular episode is from July 5, 1998.  It's off the board so that means there is no audio processing and make sure you listen for a bonus track AFTER the broadcast finishes.  I kept the tape rolling for an ENCORE performance.  

I'm very happy I got to see this band many times in Los Angeles.  One of the best!  Enjoy!!!

Much of the original archive of the 1920's, 30's and 40's audio come from my personal archive of aluminum embossed discs and 16" transcriptions.

Now sit back, relax, and enjoy the show!!!
