Hoo Haa! Dr. Demento!
I just heard from Ed Kaitz, one of my clients, that Dr. Demento will be airing (on 100 stations?!) one of the sound designed word jazz cuts we produced here last year. Supposedly the cut "1969 High School Hipster" will air the last weekend in March. Guess I can retire now.  Anyone know if the doctor's show runs where they are?

I haven't actually heard the show since about 1980 or so, but here's a link-to-a-link to a list of Demento's stations, as well as other places playing Carla's songs: http://carlau.com/news/radio.html Regards, Ty Ford -- Ty Ford's equipment reviews, audio samples, rates and other audiocentric stuff are at www.tyford.com ----- http://mindspring.com/~benbradley |

Anyone know if the doctor's show runs where they are? --------------------------------snip---------------------------------- They're playing random Demento shows every Saturday and Sunday night on XM Radio. I believe Sunday night is the only one in stereo, about 9PM Pacific time on Channel 40 (aka "Deep Tracks"). The shows are not always current, but every so often they do play shows from 2005. --MFW |

You worked with Nordine...?????? I did, early in my career. He couldn't imagine where this 25 year old had gotten the nerve to direct him. But he gave me great reads anyway. -- Correct address is spell out the letter j, AT dplaydahtcom Clio- and Emmy-winning sound design Learn audio for video at www.dplay.com |

But we have spoken by phone on several occasions. Regards, Ty Ford It would have been hard not to encounter Ken during the 50s through the 70s if you were a Chicago VO person. When I was a new engineer at, now defunct, Sound Studios, Ken was a day-in day-out regular. The first few sessions were a little heady, because I was such a fan of his Word Jazz records before moving to Chicago. Ken had his own studio in an old brownstone that was also his home on the north side. When I embarked on a VO career, I did a counter-point announcer to his signature tags for Chrysler, spots that Ken also produced including doing the music. He was among the first with a large synthesizer set-up. He also recorded later Word Jazz records in that studio, working live with the background jazz musicians. A very cool guy. Very kind. Liked the idea that many of his younger friends and fellow performers thought of him as the last of the hippies. His son, Ken Jr., was the engineer on many of the Chrysler sessions and also the electronic music tech guy. Steve King |

In the late 90's, a friend of mine wanted a particular Word Jazz tape in a big hurry and Ken invited him to the house to pick it up. While he was there, Ken showed him around and played him tapes he had made the night before when the Greatful Dead had stopped by after their Chicago show. Funk |

I did a few projects with him in the 80s, and he was the nicest guy.... John |

I did a few projects with him in the 80s, and he was the nicest guy.... John Your assessment is bang on. Harry was one of my idols. I met him, when I first started VO freelancing. He did his share of commercials for both national and local advertisers, but the foundation of his career was in corporate and educational film and video both on camera and as a narrator. He was a wonderful performer, who began his career in radio drama, when Chicago was still important as a production center for network radio. I once had a client tell me that Harry was his favorite performer. He said that Harry telephoned him every couple of months. He inquired about the client's family and his general well being. He offered some little story about his own personal life--- a trip or a show he'd seen and then said goodbye, rarely discussing business. This client said that Harry always came to mind first, when he was casting anything even remotely Harry's type. Harry retired to Colorado Springs, when he was 70 or so. In the 80s, when AFTRA held their convention in Chicago, Harry attended. I asked him how he was enjoying retirement. He said that it hadn't worked out quite like he thought. As he took little driving trips around the Rockies with his wife, he couldn't help but stop in to see some of the folks doing video work in Salt Lake City, Santa Fe, Phoenix, Denver, and Cheyenne. In fact, he said, he had had the best financial year of his life the year before. So, yes, he was enjoying retirement just fine. His son, Harry Jr. was a fine film and video camera operator who, I seem to recall, died a few years ago. Steve King |

I don't recall his name but Harry used to talk about him. I worked with him after he had moved to Co. Spgs. He was very supportive of what I was doing and we had a nice friendship. Yes, he was working more in retirement than ever. I think he spent about 3 days a week on the road, in Chicago and New York. I'm sure he's passed on by now... John |
