[78-L] Record collection brings laughs

[David Lennick]

As Associated Transcriptions, Muzak also recorded a lot of important jazz and 
big band and some of Jan Peerce's first recordings. Muzak also recorded a 
couple hours of Carl Sandburg in the 40s and again in the 50s.

They provided background music for many facilities, including restaurants, theaters, offices, and other public establishments. Their repertoire wasn't just 101 Living Strings blandness; they did customize music to fit the facility and although their name has become a joke, they were much more attuned to matching appropriate music to individual venues. For a few years, I worked for a different company, AEI Music, that did the same thing, except I was in their inflight division which programmed music channels, wrote scripts, and conducted interviews for specialty programs on airline audio systems.
