Anyone know what the ending music is?

Views: 5325

Here's Part 1 of an episode of The Warren Freiberg Show on WCIU Channel 26. In case you weren't familiar with him, Warren Freiberg had some rather "extreme" and "fringe" opinions. He had a radio show, and you may also remember him turning up in little vignettes on Steve Dahl's "It's Too Early" show from 1983.

This part begins with a partial WCIU-TV Station ID (voiceover by Bill O'Connor) followed by the opening credits (anyone know who does the voiceover?)

Here's a clip of the ending of Outdoor Sportsman on WCIU Channel 26. Joe Wyer had as a guest some kid that wrote into the show - can't quite make out his name - did he say Red? Brad? Rhett? Wouldn't that be neat if he found this clip here after 30 years?

Anyone know what the ending music is?
