Gay Byrne Radio Show Jingles

TicoStudio90

Hello all Gay Byrne fans ! As we know, the theme tune to the famous radio show (Tico's Tune) finally appeared in full, for all the world to hear. And I have no doubt, that every single GB fan will have listened to it and downloaded it by now! But here's a little something extra, for those who have an interest in radio jingles! Back in the golden age of radio before the digital era took over, jingles were played as we know on the continuous loop tape 'carts'.. The cart was simply popped into the jingle machine and the jingle 'fired' instantly. The machine then automatically re-cued the jingle ready to be played again, without any need for the DJ to rewind the tape (like the audio cassette). I have the jingle machines, and the four pieces of the GB show theme on separate carts (exactly and as originally played on the show). 1 : Start of show. 2 : Jingle for going into commercial break. 3 : Jingle for coming out of commercial break. 4 : Close of show. I intend very soon to video my playing these wonderful carts in my studio, and put the video on YouTube! Yes, it's great that the 'impossible to find' Tico's Tune finally appeared in full for all the world to hear. But if you're into jingles as well as being a big fan of Gaybo and all the magic of his radio show over the years.... you will love this video when I put it on YouTube ! In the meantime, I look forward to comments/questions to this thread !!!!
