| In 1960, Bill Meeks came up with the idea of creating a standard 1:30 music bed, entitled “My Home Town” (in the “Sound of the City” – Series 16 jingle package). The song bed, written by Euel Box, was pitched to radio stations from Abilene to Winston-Salem. Localized lyrics would be penned by the jocks, or other staffers, which would then be performed by Jenkins, for the custom jingle. It’s estimated that there are over 100 different versions of “My Home Town.” Variations on her name have included “Terry Lea,” “Terry Lee,” “Terry Lea Jenkins,” and “Terry Lee Jenkins.” |
