What do I know? I received a rejection letter from the Johnny Mann Singers. Apparently, they don’t like my voice.
For the newbies: Mann wrote a number of radio jingles, the most famous being the “Sound of the City” jingle for KSFO in San Francisco, California.

Mann can be seen on YouTube videos at a Los Angeles recording studio directing his six-voice jingles singers while they sing logos for radio station KRTH-FM (K-Earth 101). https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mObI_EvSZTs
