JSngry Posted December 30, 2019 Report Share Posted December 30, 2019 The Ellis intro sounds like the same guy on the Brubeck, just a little more "on". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JSngry Posted December 30, 2019 Report Share Posted December 30, 2019 Ok, here's a few things... https://books.google.com/books?id=gvFyunCAQbMC&pg=PT497&lpg=PT497&dq=discapades+1950+knbc&source=bl&ots=dVOomyQTjW&sig=ACfU3U0uXdCJ9cQUBLyFdE9_NEMpTklB_g&hl=en&sa=X&ved=2ahUKEwjkp6GZmN7mAhUFV80KHYO2DFUQ6AEwAXoECAkQAQ#v=onepage&q=discapades%201950%20knbc&f=false says that Lyons had a TV show on KRON. No dates are given, but check this out: https://www.montereyherald.com/2009/03/31/jazzfest-founder-was-backstage-star/ The Vallejo-born and raised son of German immigrant parents met Lyons while he was employed at KRON-TV in San Francisco. Television had just come to the West Coast in 1950, the year Vieregge completed his college education at College of the Pacific in Stockton. Lyons, a DJ at KNBC, had added television to his repertoire with a program that introduced jazz musicians through live performance and interviews. Vieregge had moved to KGO after a year at KRON and worked nights handling stage design, lighting and management for the locally produced shows. Then this:https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_television_stations_in_the_San_Francisco_Bay_Area#KRON-TV The city's third station was KRON (Channel 4), which began broadcasting on November 15, 1949, with studios in the basement of the San Francisco Chronicle (hence the name KRON[icle]), which owned and operated the station, and a transmitter on San Bruno Mountain. So, January 2, 1950 might have been some "new year's special" live broadcast, which might be what Lyons means when he refers to "this auspicious tete-a-tete". That's a helluva lot of "might"s, though... From the radio angle, here's a station guide date January 3, 1950 (from The Californian, out of Salinas: https://www.newspapers.com/clip/31549922/radio_program_listings_03_jan_1950/ You can see that Discapades comes on KNBC at midnight, or at least it did that night. KRON was owned by the SF Chronicle, but it, like KNBC was an NBC affiliate. KNBC, though, was owned directly by NBC. So...there's a lot of "could be"s here, but nothing definite.

mikeweil Posted December 31, 2019 Report Share Posted December 31, 2019 I listened to the tracks on headphones and cannot hear a bass on "Moon" and neither bass nor drums on the vocal track. Sounds like it was recorded on a machine with automatic recording level adjustment. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"OUR barbara ritichie" "OUR barbara ritchie" ill leave the TV thing up (cause of the appllause.........) but thats another tick for RADIO, not TV, is it not: "O-U-R Barbara Ritchie".............. but if the tv was as we know nbc affil. than our barbara richie could be either Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JSngry Posted January 2, 2020 Report Share Posted January 2, 2020 If it was TV, then the station would have been broadcasting for less than a year. You gotta expect that there would be a lot of crossover between radio and TV personalities for stations with the same network affiliation.
