They spoke fondly on Sunday, Feb. 21, and Monday, Feb. 22, about the importance of what they did at the station.

  • The PAMS Bible
    The Bible by Welcome to the official set of PAMS lyrics, for the first time presented in useful data form. There were no lyric sheets created back then for Series 1-13, so we compiled them by listening to the demos and typing them out. In the 1960s and ‘70s, PAMS used a typewriter to create each lyric sheet (with one exception). We have reproduced them here with a font very similar in style and size to the originals so that they have the appearance of a vintage lyric sheet…without all the smudges. And through the miracle of computers, you can execute a word search and a number of other fun things. I painstakingly preserved the inconsistent punctuation and style to keep the authentic feeling of the originals. Where I decided to add comments, there is a footnote that can be clicked to take you directly to the comment for that line. This CD-ROM was implemented by our Web master, Norman Barrington. If you desire any sort of Web service, he’s your guy! Contact him at [email protected]. Ken R. January, 2004 Jingle Lyrics: The Odd Facts The shortest jingle packages? Series 6B, “Color Radio,” only had three jingles. Series 6C, also called “Color Radio,” had just three cuts as well. Series 7 is a strange one. The demo is sung by a black vocal group and the whole concept really should be put in a time capsule. Definitely politically incorrect! Some of these instrumental tracks were re-used in later series, sung in a less ethnic fashion.
