"I recently came across a treasure on the internet.
Radio Nederland Wereldomroep has set up an Historical
Audio Archive. This includes a few Eddie Startz
recordings. Best of all is a Happy Station broadcast
for 23rd December, 1956. This was a special show
featuring the Sweet Sixteens in the Happy Station
studio. The programme includes popular songs of the
day, an interview with one of the singers about her
stay in Australia and England, a greeting from another
member of the group to her father onboard a Dutch
ship, and several Dutch Christmas carols. It is
wonderfully evocative of an earlier era of shortwave
broadcasting. Perhaps the easiest way to access the
audio archive is to type "Eddy Startz and the Sweet
Sixteens" into a search engine. ("Eddy" appears to be
the Dutch form of "Eddie.") As this is a developing
archive, it will be interesting to see what appears
later. It would certainly be good to have more Eddie
Startz Happy Station recordings."
(Brian Kendall, UK, March World DX Club Contact)
Typing that into google didn't come up with any
results but I did find the blog at
http://blogs.rnw.nl/haa.
I then scrolled down and clicked on English on the
left hand side. There are several pages of material,
some just descriptions of the programme, some mp3
files including the programme Brian mentions which was
added on October 10 2007.
Searching under Eddy Startz I found the following had
mp3 files as well as the one Brian mentioned:
Happy Station : Estación de la Alegria, /1959-08-28
Happy Station : Estación de la Alegria, /1959-08-19
Edmund Hillary interviewed by Eddy Startz, /1953-11-13
Around the world in 20 days : Manila by Eddy Startz,
/1959-04-24
Details of Jonathan Marks' first Media Network and one
on the history of the jingle are also posted but no
mp3 files of those at present.
