An Audio Bon Bon for a Media Noteless Day

Today's class will begin with a quiz, so there is no media note today. In its place, I offer a link. In class yesterday we listened to audio clips from Orson Welles' 1938 "War of the Worlds" broadcast. What I didn't mention was that there have been some pretty interesting remakes that have been done in the years since. A favorite of mine was this one done by WKBW-AM (Buffalo, New York) in 1971. Especially check out a frenetic Jackson Armstrong doing his Top 40 formatted show. Enjoy.
