For me, in Oregon, it wasn't Christmas until the holiday themed Tom Peterson's commercials came on. (He sold home appliances in PDX.) Tom's commercials were ridiculous and great, and always featured some holiday music in the background. I found a bunch a few years ago on YouTube.

It was Do or DIY.

first, it was reruns of her "Do or DIY" show, then her "Radio Boredcast" project.

I ran home from school to listen to Bob & Ray on WOR in the 70s. I wrote to them and got an autographed photo of The Two & Only in return.

That's so cool! I found them in thrift stores, record hunting while friends were looking for clothes (or something similar). But they seemed like magical discoveries.

that was Barry White for K-Mart.

I heard a bit from the Bob & Ray records but haven't ever searched out any air checks. That clip you played seemed more lively than what I recall from listening to their records, but I was a young punk then....

We had Korvettes in my hometown. I think K-mart came in when that closed.

austinrich:

I was always blown away that there were four (or more!) characters, and there were just two of them doing the voices. And often they would improvise, too! So wild.

I remember when Don Joyce did a whole show of Bob and Ray I felt vindicated in liking them.
Avatar Swag For Life Member 8:54pm

I had books of the scripts and their voices were in my head while reading.
