WHO KILLS OUR NATIONAL ANTHEM?<\/strong> Is the National Anthem is a thing of the past? Who is it that kills our National Anthem? Not too long ago the National Anthem is a staple of broadcasting way back when TV and radio stations sign off, and then sign back on again in the morning. But, that doesn\u2019t happen much anymore. We remember 15 minutes before the first pitch we stand and salute the flag during the National Anthem. Today the players remain in the dugout, until the words play ball!<\/em><\/p>\n

BILL CHERRY [Realtor. In late 1950s Music \u2019til Dawn host on WWL-870] (Dallas, TX)<\/strong> Jim there was a fellow named Brad Messer who was the editor of the Galveston newspaper for years. He was one of those people who could do anything. I liked him very much. I had always wanted a real gold leaf sign on the glass of my real estate office door. No one did that anymore\u2026or if they did, they were hard to find. And the work was very expensive. I made a comment to Mr. Messer, and without letting me he knew how, the next day he showed up with all of his brushes, gold leaf, etc., and hand painted the sign on my door. He spent the major part of the afternoon doing it, and he charges me twenty-five bucks. I see another Brad Messer\u2019s name from time to time in radio circles. I wonder if he\u2019s my Brad Messer\u2019s son? Would you ask him if you have his email address? Thanks Bill Cherry<\/em><\/p>\n
