 As
a tribute to MacCormack this Valentine's Day we are going to
present a rare recording of his show which was called
The Meister Brau Showcase. We have included one of those
commercials for the beer company as they were always a
masterpiece in their own right just as his torch hour
segments in the wee small hours tugged at the heart strings
of all of us, who had loved and lost. We hope you enjoy the
show and when we do our next version of "Words and Music of
Love" which we will, we hope you remember and understand why
we do these shows the way we do. It's a tribute to a long
lost art in radio broadcasting and done with love and
respect for those who pioneered this format over the years.

A
Note from Jerry about Words and Music of Love -
Back in the heyday of AM radio the Midnight hour was filled
just before and on some stations late into the night with a
strong baritone announcer and lots of good easy listening
full orchestra music- I had a couple of role models in this
field, here in Oklahoma, Tulsa had a show called "Music 'til
Midnight" it was on KRMG from 10:35 to Midnight and featured
at one time Jim Hartz who later would co-host the "Today" TV
show. but no one really was better than a fellow by the name
of Franklyn MacCormack. He was on WGM AM when that signal
covered almost all of

tradition
of
radio's rich
history
of

mood
music
programs,
Jerry
presents
a
visit
to
"The
Street
of
Dreams."
In
this
program
music
of
the
pop
years
is
combined
with
prose
and
verse
written
by
Jerry
lamenting
that
there
is a
place
where
happiness
and
love
abound,
a
place
that
lies
in
the
memories
of
each
of
our lives,
a
trip
down
"The
Street
of
Dreams."
"As
a boy I used to listen to late night radio soft music shows on
such stations as WGN in Chicago where Franklyn MacCormack would fill the
night with warm words and romantic music, in my native Oklahoma, on KRMG
in
Tulsa, Jim Hartz who would later become a newsman and anchor for
NBC laid out his own share of schmaltz and nice music. I present
this tribute to those great shows humbly as we walk the street of
dreams, where every romance is wonderful and fulfilling and every wish
is fulfilled instantly. I hope you enjoy it half as much as I did
putting it together."
