I bought a lot of albums because they were played on Beaker Street.<br /><br />Jeff Madison Wi.

Thanks for the post! KAAY was certainl...Hi Jonnie,<br />Thanks for the post! KAAY was certainly a unique station, with its mix of news, music, religious programming, and Beaker Street. Thanks for helping to make that happen!<br /><br />As for Beaker Street: as you noted, during your stay at KAAY, Clyde was the guru of Beaker Street, and for those folks who were with him from the beginning (1966), he _was_ Beaker Street. Certainly, he owns the patent on the concept, format, and presentation.<br /><br />But if I remember correctly, Clyde disappeared from Beaker Street in 1972. (I listened to Beaker Street from 1968 to 1976.) KAAY continued the show, and I remember listening to ''Ken Knight,'' ''Tom Roberts,'' and Stuart. On his blog, A.J. collected some info and audio clips on post-Clyde Beaker Street <br />( http://kaay1090.blogspot.com/search?q=beaker+stuart ).<br /><br />I remember all these people doing their best to preserve Clyde's concept, and I remember some good nights of listening. I can imagine the post-Clyde presenters were a bit humbled when they realized that they were following in Clyde's footsteps. And I can also imagine that there are some listeners out there who listened to Beaker Street for an extended period in the 70s and never once heard Clyde at the controls.<br /><br />Thankfully, we can hear Clyde every Sunday at www.beakerstreet.com; I'm very grateful that Clyde still comes through for us, every week, after all these years!<br /><br />Thanks again for the post!<br /><br />Best regards,<br />Dave S.Dave S.noreply@blogger.com
