Hi, Norman, I am ancient (42) and therefore remember the good days. Currently
I am religious co-ordinator (unpaid) for Pirate FM here in Cornwall which
gives me unlimited access to the studios! I would be interested in your
jingle list at some time. I have just transferred my 20 year old tapes
to cassette. Best wishes

Do you have "Everybody Likes Jack Byrne". It's a 60's-sounding
advertising jingle for a local car dealer that's been around for years.
Everybody likes Jack Byrne, He'll bring you ...an honest deal at an honest
price, etc., etc., etc. Is it out there? Thanks.

Just checked into your web site; this is fantastic!!. Being someone who
has collected jingles since the 60's finding others who have the same
interests is great. I have one problem maybe you can help me with. Being
from Philadelphia I loved listening to WFIL. The problem is I am desperate
to find WFIL PAMS series 34. I checked with PAMS but they don't have it.
Do you know anyone who might have it. Any help you can give me would be
greatly appreciated. I have some PAMS and CRC stuff from the early 60's
if you are interested. Thanks,John Pizzi

I am writing to you in the hope that you will help me with my quest. For
the last fifteen years I have been a big fan of BBC Radio 1, and have
collected many items of memorabilia (eg. mugs, stickers, t-shirts). The
only things that I have never managed to obtain are the jingles. These
little tunes have always fascinated me, and I have spent many hours recording
them from the radio. Unfortunately they are always spoilt by the music,
or the presenters talking over them. I know that you must requests like
this all the time, but hopefully you can understand what these recordings
would mean to me. It would complete my collection, put an end to my frustration,
and maybe stop my hair falling out ? Thanks for taking the time to read
this letter, and I hope to hear from you soon. Best Regards Jim Harpur

Howdy! Ran across your name on the airchecks listserver and thought I'd
pay you a visit :-) I'm looking for a couple of jingles that KUPD, Tempe
(Phoenix) used back in the late 70's. They referred to the jingle as a
"blapchant" and had two versions: blap "K U P D" blap
"Stereo Cupid" It's very possible that both of these started
their lives out as acapellas and the blap added later...Any ideas?

Hi Norman, In the early 70 's (i am born in 1963) I listend a lot of Radio
Carolineand also Radio Mi Amigo. We always went on summer holidays to
Playa d'Aroin Spain. There were some recording studios for radio Mi Amigo
in the firstvilla on the way up to Masnou the propperty of Fons Tops (friend
of myparents). I visited the studios a few times. Did they made any programmesfor
the MV Mi Amigo or am I confusing things? I was to young to remember.Do
you have some of the jingles from Mi Amigo ? I have a few on an oldcassestte
from the Peter vandam show live at the Pasha. The tape was givento me
from somebody at Mi Amigo, can't remember who. Did you ever visitedthe
studios in Playa ? There my interest started for jingles. Now through
the internet I see thatI am not the only person into jingles, so I think
I have found a new hobby.Collecting more and more jingles....If you you
have some jingles from Caroline and Mi Amigo could I get a copyon MD or
so, if needed I would pay you any costs (if not too high). But it was
nice to find that people who worked on those Radio stations arestill going
strong. You can mail me at work cfmu.fdo.strat.suppervisor@eurocontrol.beto

one day Thanks and Best regards Bob

Dear Norman, I have just visited your jingle site and thought it was brilliant.
Would it be possible to hear some of the jingles produced by Jam for UK
radio stations. I am very interested in station id's etc.. and think it
would be really great to be able to download some. If it is not possible
for you to do this, do you have details of any other web sites that may
contain them? I would be very grateful. Currently I have jingles for SGR
FM, Broadland 102, Signal One and Orchard FM. I am also interested in
old radio jingles if any are available. Thank you very much for your time
and help. I hope to hear from you soon. From MARK TANSEY, Dept Computer

kirkvarner@aol.com kirkv@i-2000.com I just wanted to drop you a line and
tell you how much I like your radio jingles home page. As a former radio
jock, now trapped in a television executives body, it was a true find!
Alas, I have no classic jingles to trade, only a few demos of recent vintage.
But looking through your lists I cam across one item of great interest.
You have a listing for a Mark Century custom pacakge done for KYW. If
it is the classic "KYW-NEWSRADIO-1060" cuts that they have used
for years (and still have on) I'd request that you put a few up on your
site, or as an alternate method, you could email a couple of them as WAV
files through AOL (if it is not a HUGE pain in the rear...).... [Norman's
Note:- Sorry my tape is really ancient and it is not the news cut you
are after, perhaps one of our readers can help? :-(] Thanks again &
keep those hits 'comin!
Rick Lipinskas
rickl@wadsworth.org - Hi Norman-I was a big SWL back in the 60's. I think
Radio Caroline was just making headlines then. I tried but could never
hear her. Anyway I'm writing to see if you'll play my request. WPTR AM
1540 in Albany, New York was a 50KW top 40 station in the 60's through
early 80's. They tried every other format (country, news, talk) but finally
sold out to a Christian broadcasting concern earlier this year. The station
is now WDCD. I would appreciate it if you could post a PAMS 60's WPTR
jingle or two for its nostalgic value. Thanks a lot! - Rick [Norman's
Note:- I have done so, if you want to hear the WPTR cut then hit this:-]
JINGLES ON LINE Rick continues:- Thanks very much! I turned 13 years old
in 1965. I have some poor quality 3.75 ips reel to reel tapes of WPTR
& WTRY (now an oldies station, 980 AM moving to 1640 where no one
will be able to receive them... but that's another story). The tapes are
mainly music of the time with a little flavor of the station itself.

- Another radio wannabe who always thought the jingles were one of the
best parts- I would actually listen to stations for their jingles as a
kid- great ones like CKLW WKBW WABC WLS WCFL- and my fave WAXC Rochester
NY 1972 -1976 - I thought I was the only one who had this weirdness over
jingles [Norman's Note:- No! You are a member of a small yet worldwide
exclusive club! Plus you actually know how to spell 'weird' - BTW what
jingles did WAXC use?]

back in the early 80s for a 50K AM and 100K FM I worked for then. It was
always a great experience and using the 7-voice group was just fantastic.
The singers were so cooperative and blew me away every time. Your site
brought back some great memories....Remember Pepper & Tanner in Memphis?

to find a page such as yours. I'm the editor of Offshore Echo's magazine
which is now the worlds only magazine devoted to offshore radio. Current
issue 104 looks at offshore radio in Israel - the final outpost of offshore
radio photo's and nostalgia. If you mail me with your postal address I'll
send you a sample copy. We also have a catlogue of CD's books tapes etc
if anyone wants to email me will happily send them a free copy. Maybe
we could do an interview with you at some stage, Best wishes Chris Edwards

I'll be sending some folks your way soon. I collect only New York City
radio jingles as those are the ones that are most meaningful to me. I
see your collection is quite extensive but does not include the ones I
have been looking for some time: Drake's WOR-FM package circa 1970. -[Norman's
note:- Can anyone help him there?] It looks like you've got about every
jingle there ever was! One I have that I find terrific and memorable is
a 77 WABC montage done by Howard Hoffman for what he calls Westwood productions.
Noticed Ron Harris' name on your list. I know Ron Harris of Westwood,
met him a couple of years ago and did some trading with him. Superb gentleman.
