[@therealdjsupernick]

The jingle between 5:54 and 6:52 is my favorite part of this aircheck.

[@markaiken5655]

The date of broadcast, July 17, 1961, was my father's 20th birthday.

They sure pushed cigarette smoking like buying a soda

Love the newscaster's writing at the very beginning with the Ty Cobb obit.

[@jellis3699]

I like the cigarette commercials

Got it This is from July 1961. The news mentioned astronaut Gus Grissom getting ready to blast off into space. He was the second of the original Mercury astronauts to be shot into space.

The very essence of what Bill Drake called "clutter".

[@RageTVHTX]

There's a mention of the Record Rack on Alabama & Shepherd.. wow. Didn't know Record Rack went that far back

[@HoustonRadioREWIND]

According to The Houston Chronicle, Record Rack opened in 1957.

[@SiriusXAim]

4:44 - Micronite filter was made of asbestos. There's one for the pub quizz

[@davidreed6264]

I was a six year old kid riding my bike and the world was good to me a nickel git me a candy bar and didn't have to worry about getting abducted by psychos or dodging illegals on the road

[@RageTVHTX]

The dj on this makes me think of a young Mark Stevens of Stevens and Pruett

[@georgwrodriguezmartin9361]

[@davidreed6264]

[@therealdjsupernick]
