I'm sitting here waiting for all you to do something.... you're waiting for me? I'm a nothing, out of the business, I just like to voice some concerns and keep my finger on the pulse of what's going on.. BTW.. I'm Tom Emanski, I don't hide my identity... I'm easy to find, I think my email address reveals who I am, so if you need to reach me, I'm here... So what's up everyone?
Tom Emo your more then just a nothing, Radio-Info poster's count on you to keep them up-dated with your polite no non-sense style of posting with the pulse.

Tom may have forgotten but when he was hired at WARM, Terry McNulty couldn't figure out if his name was Tommy Manski, Tom E. Manski or Tom Emanski
It was, however, an honor to work with Terry & the gang.. Harry, Jerry Heller, Ron Allen and the Stan Neishel.. to name a few. Some great stories and memories. Polite? I'm not always nice, but I try to be fair.
Norm remember when you were working with the WARM snow patrol, and you stopped by the station to get some commercial copy for your road reports. As the story goes Norm tried to get back on the road to do his reports during a storm.. well the keys were somehow missing and we were in a panic. Then the second incident popped up.. the copier suddenly wouldn't work. After a few minutes we put Norm & the Copier problems together and found the keys to the WARM car in the copier.. Norm has set them down on the sheet tray to copy some commercial "reads" and they got pulled inside.
I also remember once when we got a new sfx library.. there was this really good effect of someone "tossing their cookies.. very graphic and "wet" sounding. Well we got this live read for some Canned Bacon product and at the same time we had done a news story about a bad batch of bacon and a recall (not the same product). Well, Terry gets the script and a warning not to take any liberties with the live read... I think we all knew Terry would have some fun with it, but about halfway through the copy, he fakes an illness, recalls the news story from just minutes ago and drops in the vomit sfx and we all lose it.
Then there was the time that Harry West was doing a live remote at the Viewmont mall and he handed me his typed "Emerson the Janitor" bit and a cart with Emerson's voice on it that I was supposed to hit from the studio and Harry would interact at the mall. Trouble is, I did not know that Harry had 4 separate bits on that sheet and the +++++++ that was on the sheet was supposed to designate a separate routine. I'd never run them before and I basically went from the end one one bit right into the next and the next and the next.. which caught Harry totally off guard. I basically blew all of Harry's bits in one break, and you could tell Harry was a bit perturbed as each bit ended, he would say.. "no really Emerson, stop.. go away!" I still count Harry as a good friend even though I ruined his routine that day..

tom, i dont think we ever met, but just from reading your posts, your an o.k. guy in my book. i know harry, and norm hill, and of course tommy woods, and they are great guys too. keep sending your thoughts and opions to radio-info..i enjoy reading them.. sam
Sam.. I know of you and you're a pro.. One story you may enjoy... I ran into Jim Ward once at a Price Chopper in Kingston. He didn't know me, but I knew him, I had my daughter with me at the time, she was maybe 3 (she's 27 now).. I know he had a bout with cancer at the time and must have been going though a lot. As I went through the checkout with Jim in front of me, he stopped, turned around, looked down at my daughter and then up at me and said.. "they grow up so fast... remember this time, it doesn't last long." I still remember that vividly, because I knew what he was going though and I respected him for what he meant to radio in this area. I'll never forget that moment.
yes , jim was one of the great pioneers in radio. in all the years i worked with, and for him, i learned alot. thanks for your story about jim and your daughter at price chopper. i know that jim was a true family man. he loved his wife , and his four daughters. they came first in his life. the funny thing about his great talent in broadcasting, is that he never went to college, he went into the air force, served his country, then after being mervs right hand man for wbax.. he bought his own station(wpts) then after i found out that ward was available he took those call letters. he new how to get people excited, if it was a remote, or on the jerry lewis telethon on 16.. he just had that thing that got people to come out. thanks for writing back tom.. sam
