Song Mirage Dirty Laundry
Two more "James Stricklin Song Mirage" "radio broadcasts" digitized from the Tape & Record Show Enterprises archives. The program descriptions from the original broadcast index card files...
"James Stricklin Song Mirage: Episode 14. Broadcast Monday, October 22,1984 at 9:30pm central. Theme Music: Can You Feel It(The Jacksons). James Stricklin, Albert Sims, and Michelle Stricklin bring you the latest in musical music. Songs: Tonight i'm Yours(Rod Stewart), Eyes Without A Face(Billy Idol), Dirty Laundry(Don Henley), I Can Dream About You(Dan Hartman), and James bloops again.
James Stricklin Song Mirage: Episode 15. Broadcast Monday, October 29,1984 at 9:30pm central. Theme Music: Can You Feel It(The Jacksons). A new applicant for the job of co-host appears, namely, a person named Lenard Lipshitz(Albert Sims). Songs: Sad Songs(Elton John), Soundsystem(Herbie Hancock), Bad Girls(Donna Summer), Lenard(Merle Haggard)."
James' "bloop" at the end of episode 14 was apparently a minor bloop. At the end of the episode, he referred to the show as "The James Stricklin Happy Hour", his earlier "variety" series.
James' wife at the time, Michelle, and their first born were in studio during the recording of both episodes once again, the "first born" being "ultra vocal" in episode 15. Also, sounds like Michelle called someone while in studio during a song, said "Tell him I called", and James REALLY wanted to know who "him" was afterward. Remember, this was pre-cellphone days, so she had to have used the "house phone".
Fun "Technical" Fact: When you hear a "break" in the digital files, 8 times out of 10(so far) it's either the side of the tape used for the master copy at time of original recording ran out and the cassette had to be flipped to continue, or, as for the "edited broadcast copies", which I'm mainly using, it was either a one hour episode on a C-60 cassette, or it was a C-90 cassette containing three half hour edited episodes, and the middle episode required a tape flip during digitization, such as episode 14 this evening. The other times, there was an "issue" with the cassette used for transfer, and a "digital" cut was a result. These tapes are around 40 years old after all!
^^DAMN, I'M OLD!^^
