You were alive and working as a DJ in 1979? Damn, how old are you!?
At 8:15 doesn’t quite sound like Jane Barbe, its close but there’s more of an accent.
I always thought Mary Moore was someone else, well the women you say is Mary Moore doesn’t sound like the women I thought to be Mary Moore, the women I thought was Mary Moore can be found at Miscellaneous Bell System Recorded Announcements (google) and if you scroll down to the recordings it’s the one that says “Not Jane AIS DISC-WAV neither Pat nor Jane”, do you know who the women on that recording is? The lady in that recording says 5 & 9 the way they describe Mary Moore would say it.
@revision2011
I think her name is Joanne Daniels. She did a lot of bell recordings and she was also the time lady
for At&t in California until 2007. Joanne worked for weatherchron which was competition for audichron where Jane
and Pat worked for.
@chrism614 but the women on that recording on the “Miscellaneous Bell System Recorded Announcements” has the odd pronounciation of 5 & 9 that websites like Wikipedia (and others) describe Mary Moore had or used, and I remember hearing that women (who I thought was Mary Moore) way before hearing Jane Barbe, well not way before (Im 38) but I remember hearing her before hearing Jane. I know I’m probably the only one, but I prefer whoever that women is over Jane, but prefer Jane over Pat any day!
Ahhh, I see you are a fan of Evan Door Bell.
I remember when I was a kid, the recordings on the phone system in Cleveland, which was Ohio Bell back then, were from Jane Barbe. I liked her recordings a lot better than what they have for AT&T now-a-days. And now the recordings for all the AT&T areas in California, Texas, Oklahoma, Kansas, Missouri, Arkansas, Illinois, Indiana, Ohio, Michigan, Wisconsin, Kentucky, Tennessee, Alabama, Georgia, Mississippi, Florida, North Carolina and South Carolina (and I think Nevada too) are all the same.
i try to call you dude, but ur number was out of service!
An I thought I was the only one who would get 2 lines out of different offices.
Now I have a physical telephone number as well as VoIP numbers, across the town and across the globe.
