TALK OF
THE TOWN THEME SONG
The theme
song for my radio show was created in 1978. Jack Bell,
Manager of WEBC Radio at the time, was kicking off an "I
LOVE DULUTH" promotion on the station and wanted a theme
song for the promotion. He composed a long poem called
Duluth and asked me who could put music to it. I told
him about my friend Bill Sandwick who was a very good
writer and played in a group called Winterwood. Bill
took the poem and did an extensive edit job and put his
music to it. The song that you hear open the first and
second hour of my show every week was the final result.
It's a catchy tune and really says "Duluth" even though
the name is never mentioned once in the song.
The
original recording of the song "Duluth" by Winterwood is
available on the CD: Radio Play '70-'81 on the
DuluthRocked CD Series. The CD is available at the
Electric Fetus, Barnes and Noble, Globe News in Superior
and at www.duluthrocked.com.
Note:
The rooster crowing at the beginning of the song as you
hear it on the radio is NOT part of the original
recording.
