  3. I remember the weatherman “climbing up in the tower” to fast music, mainly for strings, at the start of the program.

  4. Our family ran to the TV when we heard the music so we could see Bryan McMurray as he “climbed” the tower! As an adult I went to church with the family. We used him in a variety show at church once as the weather man
