KENNEDY-ERA NEWS CAPSULE: 3/4/62 (WPRO-RADIO; PROVIDENCE, RHODE ISLAND)

Appreciate your current emphasis on the pop culture context prior to 11/22/63 (62 years old was considered elderly). Still curious on the simple tidbits of the immediate post 11/22/63 era too. Thank you as always DVP

Another great one david! Great to hear the news in that area. We lived in New Hampshire for about 15 years so hearing the news about Keene was great.

Robert Hall, I salivate when I hear that jingle. Wore a lot of clothes from there growing up. Low overhead, you talk about some bare, bones stores at old RH and they all looked exactly the same. Les Paul and Mary Ford did a really cool multi-tracked, electric guitar version of that jingle for them in the 50’s. Another aircheck sounding like it was right off the board. I always wonder how some of those local news stories came out in the end on these recordings. I love these News capsules - thanks for posting!
