Found on a 16 inch transcription....as I continue to digitize locally cut discs for CHNS in my possession.....2 local 60 sec radio spots for Bing Crosby's program on the station. Believed to be around 1947, This would mean it would be Philco Radio Time and what is highlighted in the radio spots? The Philco Radio Phonographs you can see at Simpson's Halifax.

I'm started moving digitized maritime radio material in my possession to archive.org for future preservation. It's an amazing website for all media headed by Millionaire Brewster Kahle and numerous volunteers headquartered in San Francisco, California. As I proceed over the coming months, links will be put here for all to enjoy.

Let's start off with the Live Broadcast from CFDR circa 1966 from the Swordsman Coffee House....

This massive digitization project I have undertook may take years, but a large collection of cassettes I acquired recording shows from 1991-1995 (so far anyway) is a jigsaw puzzle to put together, but one tape at a time it will come together. Not sure who actually recorded them, but it's amazing that this even exists despite the quality varying widely.

Download and Enjoy!
