Alright, let it drop. Our long eight second tail, squirrel's tail. So I'm going to go back to the top now and ask KG7VEU, Michael, for the additional addendum to his report that he's going to give right now. Go ahead, Mike. Through all of that, it is hard to remember where, which of the things, of the many things that are now piled up in that queue to spit out. You're talking about Denny or even, and I've got air checks from WABX Detroit. Mostly the overnight guys, and during the windy nights and stuff, those old windows in the Davenstatt building would rattle, and they'd sign off some fire sign theater. I've got air checks on all this stuff when I had my TC124 in stereo. It didn't have Dolby. And at the time, I was still cutting edge. I actually repaired them at Sony Super Scope Center in Troy. You know where this is. Before I worked at WJR for the summer in 1972, which is their 50th anniversary, which was on the 21st floor of the Fisher building, windows facing north. They had their echo chamber literally on a couple floors away. You know, the matrix, audio matrix with a mic and a speaker in it. The transmitter for FM was, I think it was the 28th floor, and then two floors of walking up. Boy, could you feel the energy from all that down the lobes of the FM antenna, which was not a very tall mass. The Fisher building, up and down across from the Chrysler building, and a whole bit of, yeah, something like that. And no, one of the others. Anyway, so yeah, they were talking about Genya Raven, and there was a concert or something, and I had a recording on Air Checkup. And there were, yeah, there was WAVX, WRF, and TJOM. Well, they were not American, so they could play with, like, they played with Fish Cheer, which was the uncut version. And Kick Out the Jams, by the MP5, the uncut version, the original one before the studio recalled them and put in, what was this, after Kick Out the Jams, not the, you know, the one that was, yeah, the cleaner one. They re-released it, and many people like the original still. Oh, and they played a cut that I put in Air Checkup, the John Lennon song, I'll drop it. Uh, the John Lennon song on Radio Tuner, but they had a radio version of it, and this is when they put the sound effects in, because we're, with Razor Blade. Which I did a lot of that editing when I was working down at WJR and W2 for his production, and when Kick Out's Razor Blade, and he'd all keep the board in their nice studio, their eight production studios, large. He had a really good house band, and I forget that Trump was a trumpet player and a conductor, um, he was famous, and that was the Third Channel Tiger station. Transcription turntables, they have to pull the records for, and the spots, and play, like the chewing tobacco commercials and stuff from 4 to 5 a.m. And he did the show out of his house on a telco that was, you know, full-time audio booth. And, uh, yeah, went to the, uh, all that stuff, and has a control panel with the dirty five-chains to open the back door and go at it with a pencil racer. The attenuators, and a bunch of scully machines playing, uh, some, uh, golden cadets, uh, in a stick beat. Actually, there was newer stuff, and they had, you know, the automation running, and I ran a, uh, put the tapes right in EGM when I worked for a week. Uh, Carl Haas playing his own home, and there was a clap and edit in that studio, and I was, uh, you know, he'd shoot me the, played the open himself, and did the show from there. And he was really, I didn't realize, I just realized now what a music, uh, uh, heavy was in all of his history by the show on AFRTF. And anyways, I ought to go, and, uh, yeah, good night.
