He has a very large collection of records.<br /><br />The show went into syndication in 1974. For at least a couple years, Barry would record the show at a studio in South Pasadena behind Gus's, and it was mailed out the the subscriber stations around the country. My friend is a recording engineer and it was his studio. Hansen would record the lead-ins, and then they'd put in the songs, make space for or add the commercial, and mail them out.<br /><br />I listened to Demento mostly in 1974-1976 in San Diego, and in the early 80s in LA. At the DooDah parade a couple years ago, there was a large section of seats saved for him.Mister Earlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18405041951237611622noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4926759868384604174.post-41640340386456661612010-06-25T19:02:19.943-07:002010-06-25T19:02:19.943-07:00I listened to that radio show in the fifth grade! ...I listened to that radio show in the fifth grade!
