Feels like yesterday, Roland Bynum opening the Creators Workshop and the jams were heard..



Thanks!



I'd like to thank Robert Cleveland for his generous contribution to the cause

In honor of fallen comrades: John Bradley, Roger Maynard, Jim Williams, Aaron Perry Davis, Rudy Padua, Herman Capello, Mark and so many others that contributed so very much to AFPN Clark, 13th AF, FEN and throughout AFRTS-SE Asia during Vietnam.

It'll be put to good use, and thank you.

Adventure Theater - 1976

Announcer William Conrad

We had a lot of great Old Time Radio, repackaged over the decades.  That worked well because in a lot of countries we had radio but not television well into the 80s.  Adventure Theater had the classics.  Today a 1955 show, well calculated to keep you in... Suspense.

Andy Mansfield continues his tribute to Glenn Miller



Roland Bynum - 1981


Kickin' out the jams... That is Roland Bynum...



There went another PC



The PC I'd been using for the website locked up and died.


Fortunately I had just finished up one I was working on.  So I'm a little behind.  Everything was saved from the old PC hard drive!

If you could throw in a couple of bucks, it'd help...

It's always an adventure.  How was your day?

Chuck Cecil - 1979


Chuck Cecil is back with the Big band Countdown.  This time looking at 1939.  Seems ancient now but when this aired in 1979 it was music of 40 years ago. Yikes.  Chuck also did "The Swingin Years"  Great radio, take a listen.  After the show we check into the AFN newsroom.

East Of Eden - 1979


For 30 years Rabbi Allen A Secher did the "East of Eden" Show.  It was light hearted look at Judaism, with interviews and contemporary music.  Today he shows how the music of Chicago is similar to spiritual music.  The Chaplains Board sought out inspiring shows that weren't "preachy".

Unsafe to download?

Microsoft is doing it again:




When you try to download audio on a Microsoft browser, Internet Explorer or Edge you'll get that message.  You will not get that message on any other browsers Windows, MacIntosh or Android Here's the deal.  4shared is a site to transfer files. Our files are hosted there.  Some people share software with viruses.  So when they "share" a bootleg copy of Windows and create havoc on a computer it ends up flagging the site.

Redoing 2500 pages isn't going to happen, even if I did that the files have to be hosted somewhere and the same thing could happen again.

Data files (sound and audio) are safe files.

Microsoft removed the option of getting the file.

AFN - A GI in Germany





In 1962 AFN assembled a portrait of a tour in Germany. It was released as an album, I'd love to know how they did that. It's very well done.  If you ever come up with a spare copy...

This had been posted before but this is a much better transfer.  Thanks Garry!!!
