Yet Another Old Perserved VTR Recording

[old_tv_nut]

Besides the car salesman, several things struck me.

Johnny Evans either wasn't local or else went to announcer school to learn to speak with a "standard midwest" accent.

The Hired Hands quartet was really well balanced with that single mic pickup. I'm trying to figure out how the guy on the left could sing while barely opening his mouth.

A nicely put together, simple, local show - I wonder if anything similar survives today?

Also reminds me of the fact that TV variety shows apparently can't get an audience any more.
