Abstract

The first part of the recording (33 min.) consists of a few radio stations' (WABC, WWDC Washington, WCKY, WXYZ Detroit) musical logos, melodies, commencement of programs, weather and traffic reports, announcements and such, all presented as songs. Some are in Spanish. The rest of the recording (5 min.) is unidentified music performed on various musical instruments. The last minute is a recording of a waltz performed by an orchestra. It's not established in what capacity Eric Siday and Ed Anderson took part in these works.
