Can’t see the story on JMW’s page with that link?

But I DID notice he seems to be a bit of an astronomy buff, as quite a few of us other JMers are too

[ratnobMemberAuthor]

Duh – sorry about that. Here’s the obvious link:

“…19:00 GMT if you’re into that.”

That makes it easier to remember for UK listeners

[DevawebMember]

I think it’ll actually be 20:00 though, as our clocks will have changed that morning…

[gameswizardMember]

I think it’ll actually be 20:00 though, as our clocks will have changed that morning…

Which would make it 20:00 BST.

Thanks for the reminder – I forgot the hour went forward at 01:00 on Sunday 29th.

[DWSharp]

I’ll be there. JAM rules when it comes to audio niceness. Wear your best tie Jon.

Here’s where to interact with JMW during tonight’s Rewound Radio broadcast:

I have RR live now with JMW as above via the NY Radio Bulletin Board link, at 20:02 UK BST
Stones playing…

Really enjoyed listening to that Jon, well done!

[MarkSMember]

Fantastic show Jon!

[DuncanNewmarchMember]

Did anyone record the show? Would like to hear it in full

[jonnoMember]

was going to ask the same thing, as despite knowing about the programme in advance, I completely forgot about it yesterday

[Tracy CarmanMember]

I didn’t get a chance to listen to it in real time, as I was busy watching my daughter perform in GODSPELL. However, I was smart enough to use the automated features of Adobe Audition to capture the show. So… Here it is, bootlegged and scoped (but in entirety) from the web stream…
Jon Wolfert rewinds on the radio… er… web-dio? March 29, 2015 3pm-6pm!

[DuncanNewmarchMember]

Brilliant

[jonnoMember]

Thanks very much TC! Now downloaded and copied to my phone to listen to in the car on the daily commute

[IainJohnston]

I don’t know if Jon did it “live” or pre-produced – but it was certainly a very polished “dee-jay performance”!
Content, “levels”, timing, anecdotes, interesting choice of “NOT just the same old, same old” records either.
And just that “right” hint of “spring reverb” on the voice.

Is Jon SURE he hasn’t “DJ’ed” at all in all those years? :^)

[Sean MartinMember]

This listener used the RECORD facility on the TuneIn App and recorded directly to my iPhone. A really well-compiled and presented show and now I can listen when (and where) I want in true transistor radio quality.

So many jingles I’d never heard before!

I smiled and laughed at lots of things – probably mostly at the “talk-up” subject. Guilty as charged !

Thanks.

[gameswizardMember]

I don’t know if Jon did it “live” or pre-produced

According to ratnob’s post, Jon was interacting via Facebook. So it was possibly live.

[RobinBlamires]

Quite an amazing and exciting listen. And I learned a few things too.

[LenGroat]

TC: you are a life-saver – I was not able to catch it live – THANKS

Great dj’s are a blend of ‘radio voice’, good music choice (free choice of course…) balanced use of GREAT jingles that ‘work’ + that magic quality that the dj INVOLVES the listener…

It’s clear from this show WHY JAM jingles WORK so well with music – the man who wrote many, produced all, KNOWS his radio and KNOWS his music.

I doubt if anyone from these ‘modern’ jingle companies could do such a show – could communicate with such zest and musicality as this, they don’t understand ‘jingles’. What some companies call ‘jingles’ lack the ‘personality’ and structure to work as all these did.

This is a voice f l o w i n g with the music & jingles to make a seamless presentation.

Oh, and I can proudly say that Jon DID do another radio show in the last 40 years – on Gem-AM in 1992! Right after we chatted for an hour about jingles he did a LIVE self-op one hour show with discs and carts, on a Neve desk he had NEVER used before….

[gameswizardMember]

Here it is

The Red Rubber Ball song at 58:51 seconds reminds me of a ~9sec Red Rose Gold jingle with a similar intro:
Lyrics – “All time classics, Red Rose Gold” @ 1m44s here:

[IainJohnston]

Well spotted GW !

As we know, historically “a high proportion” of radio jingles have been …er… “influenced” by the contemporary music of their era… ;^)

EDIT:- looks like your (more comprehensive) audio link arrived moments before mine, so I’ve just deleted mine.

[gameswizardMember]

Slight OT, a lot of the jingles in RRG 1991 package are musically influenced – I love those type ones.

[RobinBlamires]

They’re from a rather rare JAM package for a syndicated oldies show hosted by Dick Bartley. Coast AM in Kent, and Marcher Gold had a few done, albeit with UK vocals.
