I thought I'd share this with anyone interested. It's a piece I did several years ago. Here's a link:

Nicely done, Robert. A "45 edit" of your 12" long version would've fit right in, back during the "Stars On 45" 1981 medley craze. Also enjoyed your mixing of the 1959 newscast snippets, the scanning-of-the-AM-radio-dial-effect, and the nicely-intertwined segments of the long-forgotten, almost Top 10 hit, "Three Stars" by Tommy Dee.

That was the 45-edit, Jim. The original was 18 minutes long. Maybe one of these days I'll see if I can cut it down a bit more. The big difference in the edit is the length of the capsules.
