Abbreviated Christmas show with John Doremus. I made it from a old tape recording I had some 30 plus years ago.. so the Quality is not as good as I would of liked
@@jimcatanzaro5164 wouldn't surprise me if this was recorded during the late 70s or early eighties but it does have a sound of the 1960s yet some of these songs were recorded in the sixties so this show has to have been recorded after the mid-1960s
This is my grandpa I never got to see him because he died before my birth I loocked him up because my dad listens to him every night I maybe have never got to meet him but at least I can listen to him.
Chris...you my be very proud to be John Doremus' grandson. He had the best radio voice I ever heard. I was a young guy who listened to The John Doremus Show that aired on WVNO-FM 106.1 in Mansfield Ohio for years. His voice and his personality on air (the show was recorded) helped influence me to get into radio. I am no longer in radio, but I eventually owned a few radio stations in Florida. I read where someone in radio said your grandfather had the best radio voice, period. I agree with that. Bill Histed, Mulberry, Florida
I'm in Queensland Australia, and they still play his show the "Passing "Parade" on 4kz radio every day for 5 mins, great stories told by John with his great voice.
That's really cool that you have that connection to him. I listened to him at night on my clock radio when I was a little kid and it helped me go to sleep. He always told jokes that I didn't understand but I found his voice soothing and I liked his laugh. Easy Listening radio is a thing of the past now but it was good background music. The station I listened to him on eventually changed to a Rock format and I couldn't sleep to it anymore.
We used to run his show weeknights at 9 on WLBH-FM, Stereo 97, Mattoon, Illinois. I worked there in the 80’s while going to college to earn a Broadcasting degree.
Brian: The Passing Parade gets played on a Melbourne Australia radio station called 3AW at 11:10PM edt Monday to Friday. You maybe able to contact them. I've been listening to it for years and never heard a repeat. Good luck
It seems to me he did an evening show in December called "Christmas fantasia" which was on every night about 8 o'clock. It was music and stories related to the holidays.
In case anybody was wondering what that "exit song" was that was heard at the end of the tape: It's called "Everything's Alright" From Jesus Christ Superstar. That's what it sounded like to me.
What is the name of the artist of the beautiful Oh Come All Ye Faithful song in the beginning? this is the kind of Christmas music I absolutely love to hear it
Are any of his shows available from any other sources? The Christmas show was a favorite! My brother had recorded it and played it as his annual Christmas party. What a great voice and a great memory!
Was this a radio broadcast? what was the date that this was aired? The Little Drummer Boy song is awesome who sings it? it sounds like something from the 1960s.
