KAAY Remembered

Thanks to so many of you who are taking time to send an email about your KAAY memories.
I am still anxious to get some KAAY Music Surveys. I have posted appeals on other groups but so far nothing. Kevin writes from Columbus OH:

Hi there,

I grew up in Monticello, Arkansas and started listening to KAAY in spring of 1980... completely missed out on the 1960s and 70s stuff unfortunately, but I remember the first time I picked up KAAY by recommendation of a friend. Tom Gallagher was on the air playing "Ride Like The Wind" by Christopher Cross. I was 12 years old and Tom Gallagher, Ray Lincoln, Bill Hickok and company got me hooked before long.

It's great to read your blog (I'm an infrequent guest, not as much time as I'd like to play on the computer these days) and learn more about the history of one of my all time favorite stations. KAAY was in the great company of 89 WLS and KNOE-FM in Monroe, Louisiana in my book :-) I miss those days, and wish I had some of those tapes I made back in the early 80s.

Keep posting cool stuff, and I will be back to read and listen to it all!

Thanks,

Kevin Wooldridge
