Voiceover preview for Mary Hartman, Mary Hartman coming up next, by Bud Kelly.

A quick flash of the Kaiser Broadcasting Company ID that no one has seen for 32 years! Too bad it's not complete - you can hear a snippet of some music that they played over it - sounds weird, I wonder what it was? (By the way, the little bit of...
