When Annette Funicello passed away a few weeks ago we mentioned that John Landecker had a very soft spot in his heart for her, and even wrote about her in "Records Truly Is My Middle Name". When he was working in Canada in the early 80s (CFTR-Toronto), he actually got a chance to talk to her on the phone.
He kept a tape of that interview, and his current producer Tony Lossano posted it on YouTube last night. You can hear it below. Notice the excitement in John's voice. He was beyond thrilled to be speaking to her...
The CD soundtrack of the book will include gems like this. It comes out later this summer.
