Hey John.
I just donated to the website but I am wondering if I should sue you. Why? Because since I came across this website a week ago I have been in La La land. You have sent me back to 1972, man, and I don't wanna come back. I have been in a daze thinking of those days.
At work I have been surfing your website and dreaming of the days when WAKY and KLO were in the background all the time. The days when summer months were defined by the songs the stations were playing. I distinctly remember sitting in my car one hot summer day and hearing Coyote screaming at the top of his lungs. It was awesome.
I loved going to the department stores and getting the latest top 40 surveys (man, I didn't even remember those things until I visited the website) I would scan over them and check out the tunes before I would buy my 45's. "Popcorn" and "Long Cool Woman in a Black Dress" and "Hold your head up"
It was great.
My friends and I would play DJ with my phonograph --we would pretend to run a radio station like WAKY and we took turns being DJ.
My friends had an uncle that owned a bakery or coffee shop (can't remember exactly) but they got to take Bill Bailey a cup of coffee in one morning and he mentioned them on the radio. I was jealous.
Seriously, thanks for the trip. I know the world was just as screwed up back then as it is now, but those were golden years for a 12 year old kid, and WAKY and WKLO were always there. God bless them all for helping make Louisville a great place to grow up.
