A SPECIAL THANK YOU
In Memory of George Griggs

I’ve had possession of this Tom Clay audition recording, along with his personally signed letter (as attached; see below), having first obtained this reeled tape while working for WNIC in 1983, some 36 years ago.
The Clay letter and reel tape was initially addressed to WNIC program director Paul Christy, sent 7 years earlier as dated, August 14, 1976.
In 1983, then WNIC music programmer Greg Kennedy did not know who Tom Clay was. While there, from time to time Kennedy would clear out tapes and other audition and production tape recordings having been submitted to the station at the time. I noticed this recording was one of the tapes he designated to be tossed out.
I recall having informed Greg Kennedy (age late-20s) who Tom Clay was to Detroit radio in the 1950s and 1960s. I asked him if I could instead have the tape. My request was immediately granted.
When Clay submitted this recording to WNIC, he was still at KRLA in Los Angeles. He was 45 years old.
Tom Clay died from lung cancer, in Los Angeles, on November 22, 1995 at the age of 66.
