A regular reader and contributor to the blog, pauls66, posed a question:
"In regards to KAAY, I have one question for the blog. Is there anyone who remembers a short-lived overnight show called "Blues Alley"? The show ran sometime around 1981. I also wonder if anyone rolled tape on the show."
Thanks, Paul! OK, to Those Greats Who Were There: anything in those wonderful, knowledge-filled memory banks? And, if anyone has an aircheck of this, please contact me so we can post it here for everyone to enjoy!
Thanks, Bud S. (staceys4@hotmail.com)
I DO remember that. I live in the middle of Nebraska, and that show was my FIRST introduction to blues that I later picked up on and still love to this day. I would say it was 80-81.
ReplyDeleteSimilar story here. I lived in west-central Wisconsin, and in the mid-'80s a buddy and I would drive around, pick up KAAY, drink cheap beer and enjoy 'Blues Alley.' Loved that show!
ReplyDeleteI remember Blues Alley. Back before cell phones and the internet, even personal computers for that mater. I would listen all night on my AM/FM 8-Track portable radio, then get up and go to work at my mail room gig in Kansas City. I can also remember my older brother listening to Beaker Street.
