I Wish’t I Was In Peoria, Pt.1
With the 200th Name This Peoria Landmark post fast approaching, I figured it was a good time to publish my first of two retrospective videos.
Music by The Smothers Brothers from their 1961 album Live at the Purple Onion.
Narration by former WMBD radio host John Williams from the incredibly cheesy 1991 Peoria Convention and Visitors Bureau album Taking Pride in Peoria.
WIRL jingle dated November 27, 1964.

Pretty darn cool and I even recognize some of them, though it may be because I read the answers on your blog!

That was awesome! I want to buy five copies! Those will make fantastic Christmas stocking stuffers! BTW, I’m serious!

Great job. I’m a sucker for a fun YouTube video.

I thought it was a bit creepy. Maybe I’m just “too young to appreciate good music”.
