Do you have the WGBH & WGBX sign-on and sign-off from the 1990's? I remembered the WGBX sign-off. It was first used in 1980 and lasted till 1989.

I don't believe so, I was very surprised to even find these last two WGBH and WGBX pieces.

I have since found something from WGBX- 90's...

Anyone know the name of the music they use for this sign-off?

This was the very end of all this..the whole "museum" sign on and sign off started around 88 or 89. I always thought it was odd how we could hear the Pierce voice over under the 'newer' Dunn version. I miss the EIGHTIES and BOSTON!

Its really amusing just how audible William Pierce's voice is underneath the Tom Dunn overdub. I suppose they had done that after his retirement, and since he was no longer contracted they couldn't use his voice any longer. Its just funny how its sort of a shoddy overdub. Also- I wonder when they added that horizontal scroll...it must have been at least 1988.
