radioguy commented about Eastwood Theatre on Dec 16, 2013 at 3:42 am

Anyone remember the sci-fi music montage the Eastwood played before every showing of Empire Strikes Back and Return of the Jedi?

I produced that for Ron Keedy the day before the first showing of “Empire”. He had called just about every radio station in Indy for help in producing it… and they all turned him down. Then he called WEDM (Warren Central’s radio station). I was the station manager/instructor… and a Sci-Fi buff… and of course I had all of the songs he wanted to use.

With the help of a student we finished the production the same day. When we presented Ron with the tape… he invited us to comeback later that evening to attend the employees sneak preview.

What a night… and many more to follow. I never had to pay to watch either film… no matter how many time I watched it… or how many guests I brought with me.

If memory serves me… Ron was the manager for “Empire” and owned the theater for “Return”.
