Thanks for this, Dave! Great job pulling it together!
Freedom going back to the capital Dome after Grand Canyon
I have VERY fond memories of T&C. Thanks for the gut laugh!
Ken Beatrice was Washington sports. Sports call was my favorite radio show. His take on the Redskins, was great.
He was a legend! One of a kind.
Faure is so good heard on a piano. Comment? Relax it a bit. (not slower...relaxed, fall off the beat...add a little "luftpause") Yeah, yeah...everyone wants to be a critic...
Yes, I could definitely use more fluidity. I could try again but I was lucky to get it recorded at all. I'm often getting a version of the "yips" these days. When I know I'm recording, I can badly overthink a piece that I normally play effortlessly. Interesting neurology, but very aggravating. I now sympathize with announcers sitting at a mic to just record a tag or something simple, but taking 20 or 30 takes because they keep getting more and more self conscious. I recall Pete Larkin and Bill O'Connor getting so furious they'd rip off their headphones and storm out.
@@AboveAverageDaveSproul At WMAL I only had one of those O'Conner/Larkin tantrums. A new woman in Promotion thought she had written a great spot touting something or other and was attempting to get something out of me that just wouldn't work. The music bed was actually a vocal and had nothing do to with the copy. I told her "I'm not going to talk over a vocal." She insisted. I refused. Headphones slammed down, exit right. Play some more...work on a piano reduction of Rachmaninoff Second Piano.
Hi David, enjoyed this tape. Where did you get this recording. Who owns Bill's recordings now?
Thanks. I edited together the video tape and used my personal recordings from the radio station as the soundtrack. I was on the engineering staff there for 41 years, the last 15 or so as chief engineer. Bill had two sons and one of them has many recordings but I believe he got them from me over the years. Glad you enjoyed it.
This is all beautiful and I can't thank you enough. Now can anyone recall or point me to a pizzicato version of the station theme, about 8-9 seconds long?
I’m thinking, I’m thinking! Sounds familiar but I’m not able to pin it down yet. Please hold.
after watching monument mythos im expecting a jumpscare for no reason
i remember when WMAL introduced Smooth Jazz 105.9 washing dc in the 1990s
Fall of 1997. Good memories!
Called his show in the 80s, as a teen, and no matter how stupid my questions were he didn’t embarrass me. Good guy Did he mention Bernie Streeter’s Arby’s on the way out the door?😂 “Try the Jamocha shake, it’s my favorite!”
Me too! I grew up in Falls Church, VA - graduated from HS in 1982 - and my friends and I were obsessed with Ken Beatrice! His show is one of the “soundtracks” of my life. Who knew, that sports radio would become what it is today? Mr Beatrice was a pioneer.
Thank you so much for uploading these guys to your channel. I listened to them whether I wanted to or not as a kid and then teen…the 2-for-the road team were on constantly (car and home). Great memories…and, as far as I know, no other uploads exist for them on TH-cam. Trumbull & Core were the 2nd best pairing in WMAL history with the possible exception of the Joy Boys (Walker and Scott).
Jim Gallant was on WMAL?! Thats amazing I didn't know that. He was on Connecticut Bandstand in the late 50s and early 60s on TV.
Good memory! Yes, Jim finished up mainly in management in radio but did the occasional on air editorial. Dedicated broadcaster. He was pretty tightly wound and kind of hard on himself at times. Died of cancer many years ago.
thanks David! you make it easier!
Can you get audio of more of Bill’s shows ?
I'm afraid I don't have anymore of Bill Mayhugh's airchecks. I pat myself on the back every time I remember that I got it in my head to run an hour of tape in every daypart from WMAL on January 23, 1980.
LOVE IT!!!
Love how you can hear the wind going through the metal as it falls
Yes, haunting! One of my favorite surprises.
So much we've lost. Live, on the spot reporting from a fire scene, in the middle of the night, on the radio! A great recording with excellent sound quality.
I’m impressed with the quality too (must be from the master tape).
Monument Mythos anyone?
Find the most rare, most valuable piece in there. Look straight up from it to the underside of the roof, and that's where you'll find the inevitable roof leak. A couple of years ago, a friend of mine was invited to clear out the attic of a widow whose audiophile husband has recently died. Her roof leak was directly above a Nakamichi Dragon, in its original box with all the papers and the receipt. It was rusted out, but he took it anyway. I think he cried over it.
BRAVO!
Beautiful

That sounds like great music for a cartoon.
Lary Crebs I remember him.
Yes, Larry Krebs, beloved! You’re probably tired of being asked, but your name? Pretty distinctive. No relation to the famous movie and TV star?
That's beautiful!
Do you make jingles??
Sorry, no, but I’ve been an avid fan of the business my whole life.
Oh. Oh *no*. Not after last time. Not after what happened at the Grand Canyon.
Groovy!
Too much fun! Great job.
I remember all of this when I grew up in Bowie, Md.
Wonderful!
Keep making this enlightening content 🙏🏼! Get to know the secret > promo sm!
Bravo!

I can't believe there is no barrier to prevent jumpers. But my God that place is beautiful. Heaven on Earth. Thank you for posting. I'm enjoying your videos! (Big fan of WMAL here!)
Very kind of you! Figure a way to DM me and I’ll talk your ear off about WMAL!
Beautiful bird! Quiet surroundings!
Like that low altitude cruising. Nice video.
Bittersweet.
Is it unusual for a bird like that to drop 9,000' in 6 minutes?
Not really unusual. That’s what’s so convenient about turbine helicopters. He could have done it straight down if needed. Piston airplanes might get too cool in a long descent like that.
Thanks for sharing this!! I had the honor to be invited to attend the dual funeral at Arlington National Cemetery for Lt. Gen. "Buck" Pattillo and his twin brother Maj. Gen. Bill Pattillo. It was a beautiful and respectful ceremony for two American aviation pioneers.
There is a picture taken in 1986 of Bill Mayhugh with Eddie Durham (Sr. & Jr.) in the book Eddie Durham with The Harlem Blues & Jazz Band, around p108.

I can remember running "Valley League Baseball" games on WTON in the summer of 1976; my first paid job in radio. And running "American Top 40" on the weekends the summer I got out of Washington and Lee down in Lexington. I had air checks but they were on reels and probably long gone!
Thanks for that memory. We must have narrowly passed by each other there on (306?) West Beverley.

Exactly. Poor me.
