I  believe Tom Merriman was the founder of CRC, one of the other real  pioneer
jingle houses.  There also seemed to be a lot of  cross-pollination between
competitors--musicians who'd play one session for  one company in the 
afternoon,
then in the evening or the next day play a  session for another.




***************************
 
Tom Merriman had a country western band on KLIF in Dallas.  In the  early 
'50's.  I believe it was Don Keyes who got the band to record some  jingles for 
KLIF in 1952-53.   Don Keyes has a web site that mentions  this or maybe in som 
other McLendon bios.
 
Regarding CRC  Commercial Recording Corporation,  CRC it was  owned by John 
Coyle.  John was in advertising and later with associates put  KVIL-AM-FM on in 
Highland Park & Dallas.  I know Merriman and many  others probably worked 
there or he may have started it.
 
PAMS, CRC, FUTURSONIC and many others at one time did 84% of the nations  
radio jingles.
