Funny KAAY Shotgun Story From Mark Moss

 Dear visitor,

 

Mark Moss told me a funny story and sent pictures (three here) of a shotgun the staff kept on-hand at KAAY.  Pat Walsh said it was gonna be there for protection.  Wayne Moss took the bird shot out of it and loaded it with buckshot!  It's a Marlin magazine-fed bolt-action model, no telling what vintage.  Wayne had painted it with camouflage colors... after all, he WAS a hunter!  But now Mark has a great piece of KAAY and his dad's history.

Per Mark: "It was located in the main long hallway, hung on a pair of hooks above the door before you got to the rear parking lot exit.  It was very close to my dad's office (which was probably no accident).  Dad was notorious about having a pistol with him when he went to work.  Dad was a firm believer in people having access to protection in the station, particularly in the late hours, as the station wasn't in the best part of town."  Mark mentioned that this particular studio was near the Capitol building.

 


Thanks Mark, for sharing!

Wayne Moss Recordings!

Dear visitor,

Wayne Moss' son Mark Moss recently sent us a bunch of tapes, etc. for us to share here.  Greg B. has now digitized them and they are ready for posting....

It has been a long dry spell, and I apologize for lack of material; however, Barry Mac has been faithful with sending his programs our way.  He is doing mountains of work to keep the memories alive.

Nonetheless, soon to come are links with Wayne Moss and some Beaker Street recordings, too... even a recording from my town Mobile, AL!  I am not sure where it came from, perhaps from Wayne himself , when he was tenured here in Mobile, AL at WABB.

 So sit back, hang on and enjoy the memories!
