As the heavy rain falls outside of Norch Studios and FuzzyWuzzy Productions…here, let me turn on our parabolic microphone and pick up those sounds…

Ok, let’s wish a very Happy Birthday to Joan from Tewksbury!

Without her foresight and trust fund cassette tape budget we wouldn’t have as many amazing archives of Norm here in the Vault of Silliness. Thank you, Joan and hope you had a great day! And a Happy Birthday to our very own Jack Harte! What a week!

Speaking of bdays, today brings us a DBG from a mere 30 years ago. October 16th, 1993. It is titled: A Breast of Fresh Air.

Before we get to the game, we begin with some Jack Harte Traffic report fun:

Including an appearance by Jack’s third cousin on his mother’s side, Paul Drake who gives a rather dramatic report for WBNW.

Next, Joe Franklin for Bloomberg News drops by with some interesting facts about Ed Sullivan

Paul Drake can’t stay away as we get report #2, which sounds eerily similar to report #1 BUUUUUT wait for the surprise ending 

The Jack returns on WBZ

And the traffic extravaganza closes with Paul Drake on WBNW.

Note that all of these sound like they came from Thanksgiving. From what year, I don’t know.

Time now for the DBG with full transistor radio sound!
