Andy Mansfield - 1965


We've always had oldies.  In 1965 that would have been music from the 1930s and 40s.  Andy Mansfield did a pair of oldies shows for AFRTS.  First was one with his wife Virginia in the 50s "Turn Back The Clock".  Later he did this one "America's Popular Music".

On this broadcast Andy plays requests for our shadow audience, Americans that live overseas, residents of other countries.  We always knew they were there but they were rarely acknowledged on the network.

  1. Stationed on Midway Islands, 1966-67, no tv, only AFTRS, Armed Forces Radio & TV Service, transcribed radio broadcasts. Used to like to listen to Andy Mansfield's Big Band Oldies from the 20's, 30's, & 40’s.
