RCA, COLPIX To Mark President Kennedy’s Death on Anniversary
NEW YORK — Two record companies will observe the first anniversary of the assassination of President Kennedy November 22 with special product marking the Dallas tragedy.
RCA Victor is releasing “The Kennedy Wit,” an album which captures the humor displayed by the late President during the 1960 campaign and during his abbreviated term in office.
Material was selected by the best-selling book of the same title by Bill Adler. Introduction is by Adlai Stevenson, and David Brinkley does the narration.
Colpix Records is re-releasing “Four Days That Shocked The World,” an album produced late last year and released earlier this year in association with United Press International. The actual voices and sounds of November 22-25, 1963, are taken from UPI tapes. A booklet, “The Murder Of The Young President,” written by UPI’s White House correspondent, Merriam Smith, accompanies the album. END

FIFTY YEARS AGO this month, the Teenage Awards Music International (acronym for T.A.M.I Show) debuted it’s first screen presentation with a special press preview held in New York City, November 11, 1964. Filmed over a two-night period at the Santa Monica Civic Auditorium in Santa Monica, California, late October, 1964, the show was hosted by Jan and Dean. The billing featured 12 top recording acts from that year. Geared for teenage audience appeal, the highly acclaimed one hour and 40 minute film was released nationally on December 29, 1964.

‘THE KENNEDY ASSASSINATION’
The Keener Podcast
On this best-of Keener podcast, we replay our November 20th, 2004 study of how radio reported the Kennedy Assassination. We begin with a rare logger tape from KLIF in Dallas. Keener fan and Kennedy scholar Jim Feliciano connected us with this one-of-a-kind historical record which can be heard in its entirety on the ReelRadio.com website. Rex Jones, Gary DeLaune, Joe Long and Gordon McLendon (yep, that Gordon McLendon – one of the fathers of Top 40 radio) described the rapidly unfolding events. Then we fast-forward one year later to the WKNR documentary about that day, produced by Bob Green and Philip Nye for WKNR News. It is said that television news came of age on that day, 41 years ago (Broadcast 10 years ago. Fast forward 2014, 51 years ago!) But for many, radio was still a trusted source of timely, if not always accurate information. The Keener podcast is hosted by Scott Westerman, Curator of Keener13.com. (Notes by Scott Westerman)

*****
A SPECIAL ‘THANK YOU’ goes out to our friends and hosts as well of the official WKNR website, Scott Westerman and Steve Schram, for granting MCRFB.COM honors allowing us to archive every one of those memorable classic keener13.com podcasts
Scott produced for the WKNR website from 2004 through 2006. These WKNR/S.W. podcasts were acclaimed by many then as the consummate podcast medium at the time — a new form of entertainment, communication art suited for the internet — a template model how all podcasts should sound like when first launched on the WKNR website, 2004. We agree.
Today, MCRFB will showcase the November, 2005, “THE KENNEDY ASSASSINATION” podcast — there are over forty podcasts we have listed the WKNR website produced a decade back. For Detroit radio purists alike, this was podcasting “Keener” gold for the 21st. century!
