Meet Ken Dunnagan
Founder and Producer
    

"The known replaced by the unknown, old shall become new, and new old. That not feared will be, and that which guides shall no longer guide. Fears will be replaced by a new kind of security. That which is believed will no longer be, and that not believed shall be. Old thoughts will become new and new thoughts old, and that which has been done shall no longer be done and that never done, will be done."

Ken Dunnagan

Ken is a long time TV, Radio. Film. and Stage professional, video producer, TV & Radio anchor/journalist and pioneer talk show producer/ host in Los Angeles, Texas, Louisiana ,New Mexico and Europe. Known in England and the continent for his news and DJ programs from AFN Frankfurt & Berlin. One of his DJ shows was "The Hot House," with Ken as "The Baron of Bounce, " a cool Jazz/ Bop program from AFN Frankfurt in the early 50s. Although it was only a 30 min once a week program, during it's tenure it pulled more fan mail than all other AFN Frankfurt originated network shows combined . It was during this period that Ken, as " The Baron, toured Germany with the late great Dizzy Gillespie, appeared at the London Palladium with the famed Big Band Orchestra leader and composer, Ted Heath, and played German Theaters, Concert Halls and American military bases with the European Jazz All Stars, and also appeared with Stan Kenton and his big Orchestra touring in Germany. Ken was also featured in concert in Munich, Germany, with the great Max Gregor, Senior. Other noted Jazz musicians who appeared at various times in live concerts and/or as radio guests were famed European jazz vocalist, Rita Reys of Amsterdam, Holland, Jazz pianist Jutta Hipp of Germany and many others including the celebrated British musician, composer/conductor Johnny Dankworth and his most talented Jazz vocalist..his wife Cleo Lane. Over the years Ken has also had on his radio and TV shows such notable celebrities as Elvis Presley, Mohammed Ali, Minnie Pearl, Conrad Hilton, Frank Sinatra, Gov George Wallace, and many others.

Ken is also a retired US Army WW-2 combat veteran of three major campaigns in Europe, as a member of the 84th Inf Div. Ken completed his 20 years service, not with the Army but rather as a Navy Chief Journalist.

Also, in his "spare time," Ken became what is known as a veteran "tail dragger" pilot. His all time favorite aircraft to fly? The Stearman biplane, still used today in aerobatic flying.

Ken even to this day is forever busy "doing his thing." Doing "his thing," can be just about anything he finds interesting or entertaining. One can say that Ken was "cool" when "cool" wasn't cool...a word he learned from Dizzy, way back in the early 1950s. ( Sorry kids !)

Dunnagan. founded Transworld Video Productions back in 1981. It was also known for a while as Rocky Mountain Productions. Ken continues to devote much of his time and talent to his video productions, and travels quite often to Europe to film some of his unique videos.

And Ken very much enjoys hearing from his old friends and fans as well as the new ones. And be assured, he and his vast experience is at your service. Give him a call, or email or even snail mail him, even if it just to say hello..or hello again. You will surely get a personal reply.
