| D.T.'s Expanded Notes:
Some notes that are too lengthy to include in the program.
Back on April 25, 1972, I got my first of many cassette tape recorders. It was a birthday present. Back when I was a kid with the tape recorder, I once made my own mock radio shows. I taped segments from "The Electric Company", "Zoom", and some other TV shows, made up my own sketches, and called the made-up radio show "Fun Time," my first attempt at creating a radio show composed of bits of other TV shows. Tom Lehrer's two songs I played in the second bonus segment were featured on "Electric" seen on PBS TV stations between 1971 and 1978.
Also in 1972, I taped an entire episode of "The Brady Bunch", though it was a rerun from six months before. It was the episode where Peter's voice begins to change at the wrong time, the time when his brother Greg was putting together The Brady Six with his brothers and sisters, and Greg had to write a song to include Peter's voice cracking up, thus, the song "Time To Change" was written to include Peter in the song.
Also in the 1970s, a local top 40 radio station used to play some novelty records, and in the second set, I included two of them by Cheech and Chong and Ray Stevens.
In the 1980s, I got a third or fourth tape deck (I lost track), and in 1982, I taped the first song off of the radio from a now defunct rock station. The song? "Valley Girl".
On an alternative rock station, I taped "Nellie the Elephant" and "Rap Master Ronnie" in 1983 and 1984 respectively. Back in 1971 before I had a tape recorder, a country station was playing Jerry Reed's hit "Amos Moses", and since it was a funny song from back then, I included it as well.
