This came in from Jerry Arnold on April 13, 2005:
I live in Irvine, KY now and have lived here all my life. I'm 55 and I am now as I was then a rock and roll junkie. Back then we had the old AM radios that had to warm up when turned on before they would play.
On school nights while listening to WAKY and WLS with Bill Bailey, Dick Biondi, WCFL with Wolfman Jack, Larry Lujack, WLAC with John R, I would take one of these old radios to bed with me which I had to cover myself from head to toe to keep the sound down where it didn't keep everyone in the house awake. This worked fine until one night I feel asleep with the radio playing under the covers. With the radio having those tubes in them, that created a lot of heat which resulted in melting the radio down. It's a wonder I didn't burn the house down.
Boy I miss those stations.
One more thing. I remember Bill Bailey saying on the air while at WAKY the reason he left WLS in Chicago, seems he threatened to throw his boss out one of their windows, resulting in his departure from that station.
Thanks for the memories.

I just checked out the site today and was so glad to see Becky's (#52) message. We worked at WAKY at the same time (and did the Monkey Meeks thing too)and she helped to make working there even more fun. She's right about the "stories" that could be told...too much fun!
Anyway...."The Girls" who staffed the office during that time were hard working and probably underpaid, but Vanoy, Penny, Jean, Becky, Penny and I had some terrific times. It was "show biz."
And, of course, the Tuesday night wrestling matches were a hoot. Johnny Randolph LOVED all the crazy action at those matches, we just went along for the fun.
The jocks were great -- Bailey, Dude and Burbank who were on the air during our working hours, and the other ones who breezed in and out during the day.
It was a fun time and quite a learing experience. I wouldn't have missed it for the world.

I read the article about you in the Courier Journal. I remember when WAKY hit the airwaves with 24 hours of "Purple People Eater." I was either 9 or 10, depending on the month. I must have heard about the start-up on another radio station, because I just could not believe they were going to play the same song for 24 hours straight. I tried to stay awake for the whole time, (and did for most of it) to make sure it was really true. I was just beginning to realize that there was music besides country and gospel in the world, and fell in love with WAKY and it's music.
Bill Bailey was one of a kind. I listened to WAKY until it changed its format. I don't remember when that was. But, for the kids of Northeast Nelson County in KY, (Fairfield, Bloomfield, & Chaplin - we were about 45 miles from Louisville) WAKY was the ONLY station to listen to as we were growing up. Anything else just wasn't cool.
Now I am mostly back to country, but give me an open road, a sunshiny day with the windows down, and the oldies button gets pushed on the radio. Country just doesn't seem to fit those kind of days. I revert back to the old carefree days in an instant!
Thanks for the memories.

I recently read in the Courier-Journal about your Web site. I worked at WAKY during the period with the Weird Beard, John W. Walker, Mason Lee Dixon and the guys of that time. I have some tapes and a picture of me playing against the Harlem Globe Trotters at the Exhibition Center that I'm trying to locate for you. The picture appeared on our Top 40 list.
I also have some backstage pictures of Steppenwolf taken following a concert. I was such a dork.
I must tell you, Weird was a delightful guy. He was my favorite. His father was a music instructor and he knew little of Top 40 before he joined WAKY.
I was in a Christmas parade with Skinny Bobby Harper and as a young guy I got drunk with Skinny after the parade. It was so cold the day of the parade when had gone to the bar to warm up. I'm not sure that I was even legal.
I only worked "on air" on weekends but it was the time of my life. There are still people in southern Indiana that remember me.
Anyway, I'll look for these items and if I find them I will forward. I'll ask for an address at that time.
Love looking at the old pics.

This note was received on April 14, 2005 from Chuck Combs:
Greeting John from Columbia, SC. I was back in the Louisville area this past week visiting with my folks and read the article they had on you and the 79WAKY website. I thought it was kind of cool that you lived in Charleston.
I was pretty young when WAKY first came on the airwaves but remember it fondly and they really earned their moniker of WAKY. If my memory serves me correctly they played "Purple People Eater" for a solid week and each disk jockey would present it like they were going to play something different then they would play Purple People Eater again. How could anyone ever forget that - it was so WAKY it was great. On their 25th anniversary they did the same thing for a day or two.
Like you said you did, I used to listen to WAKY at night when I was at Boy Scout Camp in the summers and really enjoyed it.
When International Harvester closed up in Louisville in 1983 I was unemployed for seven month before pretty much being forced to move to Columbia so I could feed my family. I really hated it and would like to return to Kentucky but Columbia is now my kids home and I doubt that I will ever move back.
A couple of years ago I started looking on the Internet for some of the old (late 50s early 60s) Louisville groups music. I have a couple Monarchs and Sultans songs but was not able to find anyplace to download any others. I would really like to locate a song titled "Oh Baby Please Don't Go" (or something very similar) by a Louisville group called Cosmo and the Counts.
Every year at the big Custom Car Shows they would have in Louisville they would always have the Battle of the Bands which was alway really great. It sure is a shame that radio stations dumped the Local Top 40s which helped support local groups more than the strictly national top 40 does. There were a lot of great garage bands out there across the whole country. Local radio stations should probably do more to help promote the better local groups.
Thanks for your work on the website.

Did you know J.T. Cosdon, Jr. (aka Cosmo)? He owned the Headrest Tavern on the corner of Frankfort & Stiltz, where I was regular drunk (to be honest) during the late '70s until the neighborhood voted to go dry. The place was a hangout for many Louisville DJs (even Coyote Calhoun went there). Since you're into local music of that day, try the link below. www.groovymusicinc.com/

We received this from Ric Martin on April 15, 2005:
John -
I grew up on WAKY from 1958 until I started listening to progressive rock around 1970. The people there at the genesis of WAKY don't seem to be mentioned on your website.
JQ says: Check out the Features page where you'll find interviews with Don Keyes (the guy who put WAKY on the air), Jim Brand and Hal Smith...plus a whole page devoted to Jack Sanders.
Jumpin' Jack Sanders put WAKY on the map. He was chosen as the National DJ of the year before he was run out of Louisville. Both Jack Sanders and Jerry Barr were charter members of the DJ corps. They both left suddenly and the story was they had both been found in a motel room with an underage girl.
JQ says: The true story about Sanders and Barr can be found by listening to Jim Brand's interview on the Features page of the 79WAKY.com site.
Other original DJs who made WAKY famous were Timothy L. Tyler and Jim Brand. If you just began listening to WAKY in 1970 then you missed the heyday.
By 1970, WAKY's and WKLO's influences were winding down as more and more young people were turning to progressive rock, which is now of course classic rock. I listened to both WAKY and WKLO and even won a motorcycle on the WKLO Summer Fun Festival. I did continue to listen to Gary Burbank in the afternoons after 1970 because he was hilarious. I still listen to him from time to time afternoons on WLS in Cincinnati when I'm driving home from work.
I have been in broadcasting off and on for 40 years. I raced in two disc jockey figure 8 races at the Jeffersonville Sportsdrome with disc jockeys from WAKY and WKLO. My father owns two radio stations in Southern Indiana.
I'm no longer in radio, but I have a morning TV show and I edit and publish a newspaper. I'm all for nostalgia - long live WAKY and WKLO.

Terry Wilcher from Hanover, PA writes on April 19, 2005:
I was checking out the Courier Journal website yesterday and stumbled upon the Tom Dorsey story about the WAKY website and spent almost an entire day looking at the photos, reading the DJ bios and remembering the "MIGHTY 790."
I grew up in Lebanon, KY about 80 miles south of Louisville and listened to WAKY religiously in the late '60s and early '70s. The music and the air talent was such an influence on me that I decided to get a job in radio myself. I spent approximately 18 years at various stations around Central Kentucky before moving to Pennsylvania and making a career change.
Browsing the 79WAKY website brought back so many great memories, and I wanted to thank you for what must have been endless hours of research and work to put the website together. I can’t wait to tell some of my former radio co-workers that also listened to WAKY about your website.
Again, thank you!

We received this on April 26, 2005 from Swain Ottman:
I like your use of the Internet to preserve a piece of Louisville radio history. My mother gave me a copy of the Courier-Journal article and asked me to check out your website. She was a big listener during the '50s, '60s, and '70s. Bill Bailey was her favorite, and she would always have him on in the morning while were getting ready for school.
Our 1972 Nova only had an AM radio and it stayed tuned to WAKY, so our drives meant listening to the station while getting around town.
One other thing I remember is the contest in the '70s where a station rep would knock on your door to count how many radios were tuned to WAKY. I think the person would pay $10 per radio, and we ended up with over $100.

Didn't want to necessarily start another thread, but there is an interesting article in chapter by chapter form on Gordon McLendon, who is responsible for getting so much of this phenomena started, written by Don Keyes that can be found at www.radiodailynews.com/rdndaily.htm or by going directly to www.donkeyesonline.com.

Scott Miller sent us this note on May 11, 2005:
Hi John, I love this website! I have been wishing for years to find some old memories of WAKY and WKLO, because they had such a major impact on my life as well as the lives of the people I grew up around. This website brings back those childhood memories of sitting around the campfire with my buddies, transistor radio in hand, surfing the airwaves for our favorite tunes of the day on WAKY, WKLO, as well as WLS and WCFL in Chicago. I remember the tragedy of Mr. Markert (Weird Beard) losing his son. We even had posters about the missing child posted on poles around our schools in this area, even though we were about 35 miles from Louisville. We had band battles and hops at the local skating rink, usually hosted by Jason O'Brien. I found one of the airchecks advertising that very thing, and it really got to me. WAKY inspired me to go into broadcasting on a small scale, and I did get to give it a try on our local station, producing ads and doing some news and board work. What fun you full timers must have had at your stations. Oh, well, I've bored you long enough. Just would like to tell you how thrilled I am to have all this stuff. It's driving my wife mad, and that's just what I was hoping for. Thanks for the memories. Scott Miller Pekin, Indiana

We received this on May 17, 2005 from former WAKY DJ John W. "Dude" Walker:
John, I read what Byron Crawford had to say about WAKY. I remember Byron well. Not only was he great as a newsman but did a great job with Bill Crisp who hired me at WAKY and a guy I have a lot of respect for and loved working for. Byron had a great country boy type sense of humor and was a delight to work with. I missed him when he left. I am glad he is doing well and I wish him nothing but the best in the future.
When Weird Beard's son drowned it was a real tragedy and affected all of us. One night he came in with tears in his eyes. He was on right after me. I asked what was wrong and he said look how cruel people can be. He handed me a box and I pulled out a jar and someone had sent him a jar full of water with a toy doll in it. I begged him to let me go ahead and do his show but WB said there was no way he was going to give this sadistic person the pleasure of having him miss his show. He went on and did a great job.
His wife Sunny and my wife Cynthia and WB and I became very close friends. She was also my dental hygienist. I loved them both and am sorry to hear that he is dead. I remember when they first told me of his illness and his wife said she would stay with him even if she had to wait on him if he had to be bedridden.
They were wonderful friends and I will always remember them as well as Byron Crawford who really made me laugh. He's a great guy as well and never put on any airs. He was down to earth and a genuine guy.
How lucky can a guy get to work with his idol Bill Bailey, Johnny Randolph, Bill Crisp, Weird Beard, Mason Dixon and of course Gary Burbank whom I greatly admire. To have newsmen like Byron and Mike Summers, Len King and Bob Watson made it even more special. I feel like one of the luckiest guys on earth to have been included with these talented guys and am thankful for the opportunity just to be a part of WAKY.
Life is good.

Hi John...
My name is Les Cook. I am the Program Director at Kool 103.5 in Elizabethtown, KY. I grew up on WAKY and still consider it the best top 40 station I ever heard! i liked WAKY better than WLS, CKLW, KAAY and all the rest!!!
My father signed on WPDF in Corydon, Indiana in 1962. I was on the air at age 12! I have been in radio ever since and have worked in Detriot, Miami and all points in between.

Hey John! I really enjoyed the interview you ran of Timothy L. Tyler. Really brought some forgotten memories back to today's world.
Those WAKY-WKLO days were the best days of my life. I was in school from start to finish during those days. I couldn't stand to be away from the radio for more than a few minutes at a time. My mom was a big fan of WAKY, my brother, WKLO. I kind of see-sawed back and forth from one to the other. (I get in trouble with my wife for doing that with XM and Sirius nowadays).
At night, my best friend and I would go from WLS to WCFL, trying to find anything new we hadn't heard on the daytime stations. Tim and Weird Beard were my favorite deejays in the evening. Anyway, thanks for all that. Scott Miller Pekin, Indiana

Hi,
First off, I can't tell you how overjoyed I am to find websites dedicated to my two favorite radio stations growing up: WAKY and WKLO. I am looking forward to a long session in the "wayback" machine!!
I do have a question that I HOPE you can point me in the right direction. I was looking for information on the horror movie package that WLKY ran on Saturday night in the 1970s. Then it was CREATURE FEATURES and not SHOCK THEATER. I remember being able to watch The Fear Monger on FRIGHT NIGHT on upstart WDRB and later (when we could), stay up later to watch the WLKY show. I am trying to find out if it was the same CF package that ran out of Chicago affiliate WGN....No one can seem to tell me and I am not sure where to go to ask.
If you can help me, great!! If you can't, well, it's a treat to have stumbled on to BOTH the WAKY and WKLO sites!!
Thanks and God Bless,
Sheila Fiene
Anybody know the answer?

This came in on July 3, 2005 from former WKLO newsman Dave White:
John, I've just had a chance to spend a little time at the WAKY site. I don't have anything substantive to add, but, like the WKLO site, it has rekindled a lot of memories, and is very well done.
Woody Stiles started at WIRV about a week before I did. He had a part-time gig there, and one at WEKY (he lived in Richmond). After a few weeks, he got the opportunity to do a fulltime gig at WEKY, so that, of course, won out. I didn't mind, because it meant I got to work more hours! We hit it off because we were both -- literally -- just kids, and were afraid somebody was going to wake up and realize that they were paying us (albeit very little) to play radio! We followed each other's careers and ultimately wound up "across the street" from one another in Louisville, he at WAKY and I at WKLO.
If I remember correctly, Buddy Kay (Buddy Kincer) was the brother of Jim Kincer, who was PD at WEKY in the late '60s. I can't recall whether Buddy worked at WEKY (I *think* he did), but those of us at the bottom of the food chain (WIRV) were pretty impressed that a "small town boy" could make it in the "big city" at a place like WAKY!
Although the competition was pretty keen between "us and them", I recall it as primarily a friendly one, with a good deal of mutual respect, at least among the "ranks" (on air staffs).
Thanks for providing the opportunity for me to pleasantly waste a couple more hours of a holiday weekend {;>)
Thanks to Dave to the wonderful contributions he made this weekend to the 1080WKLO.com site.

Former WAKY newsman -- and Bill Bailey sidekick -- Sam Stephens wrote on July 1, 2005:
Seems like only yesterday Bill Bailey would say to me, at 6 a.m., "Sam, I woke up this morning and my clothes were in a pile on the floor. Unfortunately, I was still in them!" And if you'd like my strangest story about Bill ( I worked with him at WAKY, WCII and WVLK) it was the time at WVLK that the Secret Service agents showed up looking for Bill. They didn't like what he had said about the president. These were real agents. We talked, they listened, everyone unofficially chuckled and officially promised to be good from then on. I'll let you guess how long he was a good boy.

Scott Miller sent this on July 16, 2005:
Hi again, John I listened to the interviews you did on Joe Elliot and Terry Meiner's shows. Sorry I wasn't there to call in and yak with you some. I was sent to Ohio this past week on business with the company I work for and missed it all.
Hope you guys get together a public reunion for WAKY and WKLO, since I listened to both growing up. I was in high school from 1970 to 1974. Boy, WKLO had a lot of good stuff going on, but I got a little annoyed by the sonovox call letter stab they insisted on popping in at the end of each song.
I was, however, inspired by both stations to get into a little radio in the early '80s at the local station in Salem, IN called WSLM. Wasn't much there to be called radio, but at least they had an AM and FM studio and had just replaced their old Gates board with a new and bigger one. I started by doing commercial and spot production, and did a little news and deejay stuff when the station manager and others were out to NAB conventions and things like that.
I was a supermarket manager in town, so the station manager was constantly calling me in to fill in, and I thought it was fun. They even used my sign off message for a few years until they changed frequencies.
Anyhow, I'd really like to get together with the WAKY and WKLO guys sometime and rehash old memories and stuff. My wife just showed me an autograph she got from Johnny Randolph when she was a kid.
I used to go to the local skating rink and listen to Jason O'Brien emcee band battles. That place is a fire station today, and I'm a captain at the Fire Department there.

Another thing about the surveys in the mid 70s was the paper stock they were printed on.. So I would gather some of the outdated leftovers and use them for braille. I sure wish I had just saved them. On the subject of Jim Osborne, I seem to remember him at both WGRC and WKLO. Here is an item from the CJ the morning after his death. When I was 5 years old Jimmy Osborne closed his AM drive show each day with this sign-off: "Remember folks...if you can't say something good about somebody...don't say nothing". Radio Singer Osborne Kills Himself Dec 27, 1957 Country music singer Jimmie Osborne died of a self-inflicted gunshot wound here last night. Chief Deputy Coroner William C. Kammerer said the 34-year-old Osborne took his own life by holding a .32-caliber revolver to his right temple and firing a bullet into his brain. Kammerer said the suicide followed an argument with Mrs. Osborne in the couple's trailer home in Bluegrass Mobile Home Park, 3510 Newburg Road. The body was found on the floor of the bathroom by Mrs. Osborne and a family friend, Robert Ryan of 2530 Kings Highway, Kammerer said. Ryan had been invited to the trailer by the Osbornes and the three had been talking only a short time before Osborne shot himself. Osborne, a native of Winchester, Ky., sang country music over radio stations in Lexington, Shreveport, Nashville and Louisville during a career that started when he was 15 years old. He was reported to be the highest-paid performer in the radio and television field in Louisville. For the past year Osborne had been singing over radio station WGRC. For five years before that he strummed his guitar and sang over station WKLO and he was due to return to that station in 10 days. William Spencer, general manager of WKLO, said today that Osborne had agreed to come back starting January 6. As a recording artist, Osborne was best known for two hits--"My Heart Echoes", his first record and one that hit the best seller list in the country music field in 1947, and a few years later, "The Death of Kathy Fiscus", which sold 1,000,000 copies. Osborne wrote the song while working on radio station WLEX in Lexington. He gave half the royalties to a memorial fund for the little California girl who fell in a well and died. Like many other performers in the country and folk music business, Osborne played many benefits--for fellow performers down on their luck and for such causes as the March of Dimes. Those who worked with him said Osborne's success was based on his "infectious personality" rather than on his singing voice, which was not a notable one. His home town of Winchester never forgot him and once gave him a home-coming day. The key to the city was handed to Osborne by the Mayor, Dr. John A. Snowden, who was the physician who brought Osborne into this world. He is still remembered in Winchester as the youngster who began "picking and singin" with a guitar that cost $4 and a "get-up" that featured the oldest overalls he could find and a floppy black hat. Funeral arrangements for the country music singer are incomplete. The body is at the Owen Funeral Home, 2611 Virginia.

When I was with the Joni Agency(co owned by Gene Snyder, formerly of WAKY and WOWI) in the 60s we had teen dances in Corydon, IN. We bought spots on the local station (WPDF). I was invited to the HOT jock's house for dinner before the dance one night. It was Bert Markert..he, his wife and I had bologna sandwiches, chips, pickles and colas. I was about 17 years old and was won over by this very talented SINCERE guy. Jim Nathan (GM of WINN) got Weird started in Louisville and then onto WAKY. Wonderful days. I always felt he deserved a better life in middle age. Danny Kanipe aka Young Daniel King

Great page. WAKY 7-9-0. EVERYBODY in Bedford, Indiana listened to WAKY. I was a fan from the '50s until the very end.
When I was in Vietnam, I sent a letter to WAKY and told them how much I missed them. That Christmas I received a card that all the DJs had signed. I've still got the card, SOMEWHERE.
I'm going to send a T-shirt order right away. Wish I still had my WAKY license plate.

I'm wondering what year Ed Wray received that Christmas card from WAKY. I seem to recall that the Weird Beard talked about letters from Vietnam on one of his airchecks. I was also remembering that I once had a WAKY license plate (the same one pictured on page 15 in Photos) but did not have a car to display it on (*gRoAN*). My first wife threw most of my WAKY memorabilia away. That's why I divorced her (okay, so that's a bit of a stretch).
