Which station was it sung for?

[Lisa_Wheeler]

http://radiouseonly.com/singles/texas_singles/kdok_tyler_my_home_town.htm – on my site.

[topcat]

Hmmmmm… Nope…. Don't see it in the PAMS references sitting here on the shelf. Sorry.

[Digital Ed]

Yes, The Tyler My Home Town, KDOK is hard to find, I have been looking a long long time! If you have ANY other Texas “My Home Town”, like KNUZ Houston, or KLIF Dallas…Austin etc, that would be greatly appreciated as well! Thanks again for looking!

[Digital Ed]

Which ones do you have already?

Lisa….

Thank you for a very nice interview with Terry Jenkins. Did you, by any chance, record it? Would love to hear it the audio if ya did.

Here are 2 more tracks for WKMI Kalamazoo, MI and WCAO Baltimore, MD. Both were extremely scratchy but with a little help from Sound Forge they cleaned up pretty good.

Enjoy!!

Hello topcat, So far I have Houston, Little Rock, Honolulu, Scranton, “Stop and Go” commercial version and the instrumental. I also have the “promo” recorded in 1961 by PAMS where announcer is introducing it.
If ANYONE has the “Tyler My Home Town” version I am willing to “buy” it!! It was on KDOK in Tyler, Texas.
Many Thanks

[topcat]

Okay…. Here are some HOMETOWN SONGS for Texas radio stations.

Enjoy………

Thanks topcat, I had never heard the Lufkin TX one, I sure wish I could find Tyler!! I am not sure if I wrote to PAMS they would even still have it….and HOW much it would cost if they did?

Lisa. you have the “45” record of Tyler My Home Town, interested in making me a copy or selling it?

I attached the original PAMS explanation promo (not the best quality) on how this jingle was introduced to the radio market at the time

I don't know if PAMS would have the original master reel for Tyler or not. Jon… you watching this thread?

Also… FYI… The excerpt you provided was from a never completed “rough draft” on the history of PAMS that was never meant for public consumption.

[Digital Ed]

Tracy, I was unaware of the “PAMS rough draft” not for the public? I have removed my link from my post, sorry?

Who is Jon if I may ask?

You can leave the link up… It has already been widely circulated already anyway.

Jon is Jon Wolfert… who owns JAM and PAMS. He looks in on these threads from time to time and might respond if he pops in here.

[Digital Ed]

Hopefully “Jon” will see my needs and wants post as well, I am desperate for that Tyler My Home Town!!

[Digital Ed]

I wrote to PAMS/JAM and did not get a response. I feel they do not have it in the archives….oh well, I will hope some kind soul has it here and will see this post.

[GlennaMember]

It takes time to receive things.
And e-mails are no different.

[Digital Ed]

Beaver205, Not sure about you, but after 3 weeks go by and not a word most likely they don't have it or just too busy to get back. Hopefully I am wrong
BTW, Does anyone know of any other jingle places I could look? Thanks

[IainJohnstonMember]

Ed, a couple of years ago I was similarly trying to obtain some material from JAM and was getting no reply.

However, after some investigation it turned out that my ISP's spam filtering system was somehow deciding that emails from JAM were to be junked. Once my settings were overhauled, no problem.

Jon is a very helpful guy, so unless there is something unusual about your own emails heading into HIS system, then I'm sure he would have responded.

So I would recommend that you have a very deep checkout of your Internet system's spam & malware filtering settings just in case something similar is happening to yourself.

[GlennaMember]

Since Wixy brought this up; I downloaded a couple things {off JM } in the past that my anti-virus went nuts on.
So be careful that you don't and others don't upload something we all do not want.

[Digital Ed]

No sir, I have a very good email service and can check every spam and filtered email that is sent to me.
It could be because I filled out the “request” form on PAMS site instead of a direct email to Jon, BUT I do not have his email address? Anyone?

[Lisa_Wheeler]

Ed – The level of obsession you have for this record is scary. It took me almost ten years to find my “holy grail” album. Found it earlier this month – and it was nothing more than an accident when it happened. Bam – there it was.

I'll echo Beaver's statement, it takes time.

Patience.

[Digital Ed]

Lisa, I would say I am persistent more than “obsessive”…yes, the fact is I WANT the jingle and if I just sit and not “post” not (do anything) my request will get lost in the crowd. I am simply holding up a sign….”Does anyone have this jingle?” I have patience,not much, but I do…
Nothing to be scared of Lisa, unless you are thinking about Halloween? LOL
