Letter From Daisy of Puerto Rico To KAAY
This letter must have been translated by someone at the station, or affiliated with KAAY- Wayne Moss sent both to me for inclusion to the blog. Another dedicated listener who took the time to bear the expense of international mailing to express her gratitude to KAAY for broadcasting to her nation! Remember those maps of KAAY's signal we've posted here before?
Thanks again, Wayne!

La Habana Letter To KAAY
This listener had written two almost identical letters at dates close to one another, so I picked the better-written version. It was also the most detailed. Very similar to what we call a reception report!
Thanks again to Wayne Moss for sharing this letter for the blog!

Bob Robbins, KAAY, May 8, 1972!
Courtesy of Wayne Moss' collection, here is Bob Robbins! Wayne sent us several tapes that Greg Barman was able to lovingly, tenderly transpose to digital; Dave Schmidt loaded the audio to our archive and here you go!
Mostly unscoped, please enjoy this tasty bit of aural history, in the 2-3pm hour, with full newscast from Mitch Michaels, compliments of Wayne Moss! Listen in particular to the commercials; hear that reverb? I'll bet that's the same reverb board we showed you on my trip in April 2011!

Many thanks to Wayne, Greg and Dave for bringing this to you, dear visitor!

Remember Listening To The Rolling Stones On KAAY?
Does this make you feel OLD, or YOUNG !!??
The Rolling Stones will indeed play 50th anniversary concerts. And I am told they will go on sale this weekend–maybe as soon as Friday. Ticketmaster will handle the sales. All hell is going to break loose, too.
It’s not so much that they’re still touring, it’s that they’re still freaking alive!

Letter From Panama!
This letter, sent in April of 1973, came in the type of Air Mail envelope I mentioned previously. The paper, although blue, was also very thin, although not the aforementioned "onion paper".
Once again, KAAY invaded the borders of a friendly country with its wonderful signal, replete with great programming and music! I can hear Gary Gears saying, "Greetings, QSLers!" and mentioning Panama in the line-up....
What a voice- and what a station, KAAY! Thanks to Wayne Moss for sending this letter in for the blog!

Eric Thomas On KMJX 1985
Fritze Prentice sent us some airchecks and this nice email:
"This goes along with the Eric Thomas thread on the Mighty1090 blog. I have a couple of scoped airchecks of Eric Thomas after he left KAAY of him at Magic 105 (KMJX 105.1 Conway/Little Rock), recorded on-air near Star City AR (where I grew up, which was remarkable since KMJX/Magic 105 had a marginal signal in upper Southern AR in those days--likely tropo enhacement) in the late Summer/early fall of 1985 (undated but a mention of Monday Night Football is on one of them--not sure of pre or regular season). The first one is a legal ID for KMJX and the second has more of him speaking. Nighttime jocks then at Magic 105 (KMJX) didn't do much banter, it was mostly music but it was live and local in the pre-Clear Channel(tm) days."
Here are Fritze's airchecks of former KAAY deejay Eric Thomas:

KAAY Bob Robbins & O'Brian With Beaker Street, October 3, 1973!
Another offering from The Wayne Moss Collection...here's Bob Robbins in the half hour leading up to O'Brian and Beaker Street! "O'Brian" was (and still is!) a friend of "Steve Scott" (Steve Morris) from that era and has been mentioned here before. "O'Brian's" name is Mike Verdicchio, who now runs a number of very successful businesses today.
We're pleased to have both of these personalities, but ever more so for "O'Brian", because he was one of the links we were missing in the Beaker Street line-up.
Again, Greg Barman lovingly, carefully coaxed the tape through the machine to dub this over to digital format; Dave S. faithfully loaded it onto the archives for posting here, for you to enjoy, dear visitor!
Per Greg: "Bob Robbins starting at 10:30pm, leading up to Beaker Street and 'some of that dope smokin kind of music', in Robbins's words. Then, 'Impact', a public-affairs program. Finally, Beaker Street with O'Brian, starting off with music from the Rolling Stones, Bob Dylan, Joe Walsh, and War."
(or download here)
I must mention here that, to the best of my recollection, several of the tapes came to us broken or had come loose from the leader; Greg Barman, having all the goods and abilities, spliced everything back together to preserve this great history. Thank you, Greg!
And thank you Dave S. for your computer skills to bring this audio to the blog; and most of all, thanks to Wayne Moss for sharing!

Eric Thomas, KAAY, September 27, 1981
Here is Eric Thomas again, working the graveyard shift! First time heard here was 12:08 Sunday morning. Did you hear that phone number for those requests? "Your favorites as close as 433-0059, area code 501". As before, 'scoped, from the studio...but still enjoyable!
If some of you listeners may or may not know, many deejays made recordings of themselves, to constantly market themselves to prospective employers and to listen to themselves, to constantly improve their "delivery". Many of the deejays here were very critical of how well they sounded to the public and constantly worked on their voices and their delivery. You can tell a quality professional in how he or she presents himself or herself- the work shows!

Once again, my hearty thanks to Dave S. for ALL his hard work here, and to Russell Wells for his audio offerings- despite my constant research and questions to both!

Barry Mac: A Few Words About The KAAY 50th Birthday Party
I started out writing a little bit more formally about this event that transpired at The Oyster Bar party room on Friday, September 14th, but ended up scrapping that draft and going with something a little more informal. After all, it’s radio!
My immediate concern that evening was that there had been a couple of torrential downpours of rain, and I thought this might keep a few people away. And indeed, there were at least half a dozen no-shows that stood out. But my main concern was Sonny Martin and his wife driving in from Searcy, which is about an hour northeast of Little Rock. Fortunately, they drove in a bit earlier in the afternoon, and were already at our venue by the time I showed up at 6:00. And then there were more – Charlie Scarbrough, Jay (Elliott) Brentlinger, Bob Robbins, Stuart McRae, Mark Wallace, Tom Wood, and Mr. Beaker Street himself, Clyde Clifford. All of them long time radio professionals, and with the exception of Tom Wood (for over 30 years a Little Rock broadcaster himself), all of them with a very direct connection to KAAY.
Rex Nelson was our guest speaker, and was, in fact, the reason that I moved this event from September 7th to September 14th. Rex is a great speaker and is so exceptionally enthusiastic about all things historical in Arkansas, and I couldn’t think of anyone more qualified to give an opening introduction. I especially loved his story about listening to KAAY Farm Director Marvin Vines back in the ‘70s, as Marvin would talk of “barrels and gilds” and such, and even though Rex had no idea what the hell that was, he’d keep on listening anyway! And the reason? Well, it was AM 1090, KAAY, and that was reason enough.
Our other speakers, excluding yours truly as a kind of host for the night, were Bob Robbins, Sonny Martin, and Clyde Clifford. As much as I wanted a number of other former KAAY broadcasters to be in attendance, this was probably the hat trick, the trifecta, the three most significant, in terms of longevity and lasting impact on the glory years of KAAY. I introduced Bob after Rex finished his opening remarks, but within probably five minutes, Bob brought Sonny Martin up, and together they talked about those glory years, the late ‘60s to the late ‘70s, from George Jennings’ hiring of Sonny to lawnmower racing contests to the various personnel they worked with to their late General Manager Pat Walsh. The stories flowed together seamlessly. And through it all, as Bob put it, the reason it worked wasn’t just because it was a 50,000 watt blowtorch. It was because of the sense of family at the station, the true closeness and affection that everyone felt for each other.
And then came Clyde Clifford. Clyde, like Bob and Sonny before him, talked of the camaraderie amongst his co-workers, and how it all started with him in the middle of a pasture in a transmitter building several miles south of Little Rock, and within a year, it was a cultural phenomenon, with communications coming in from Canada to Florida. And to top off the night, after acknowledging the passing of several former KAAY jocks, I ran a couple of three minute montages of commercials from years past – five to fifteen second snippets from various announcers, including our three primary speakers for the night. Oh yeah, and I had to throw in a national ad that featured June Carter Cash for Snowdrift shortening. It was just too good to pass up.
And with that, we closed out the evening with a little more food, a little more drink, and a number of thank yous and goodbyes. And I’d like to give my thanks to the approximately 30 people who were there. I really wish it could’ve been more, but it was quite a treat for the 30 who did show up. And if you’re reading this, I wish you could’ve been there, too. A wish that I’d be fairly certain you share with me.
Maybe next time…

Letter From Paul Kauffman, Costa Rica
I have been told, and read, that Costa Rica is one of the more American-friendly nations in our hemisphere- that living there is pretty easy these days and that they have no overly-restrictive laws. Apparently, KAAY's signals had no problem with their Border Patrol or immigration laws, either!!!
Thanks to Wayne Moss for this, and many more letters- more to come!

Eric Thomas, September 6, 1981 Drive-Time!
We'd had a previous post with Eric Thomas working the graveyard shift on this date- well, here he is, back again on the same day (Sunday), this time in the afternoon drive-time! This is one versatile-- and tireless-- dude!
Another 'scoped audio clip from the studio, obviously, but great memories, nonetheless! The movie "Continental Divide" with John Belushi is advertised. Eric continually mentioned to be careful, with all the crazy people out on the road for the Labor Day Weekend.
(or download here)
Where were you thirty-one years ago? Groovin' on great music in the warm sunshine, I hope!
Thanks again to Russell Wells for more great audio from his collection, and to Dave S. for his great audio help, so we can enjoy this wonderful history!

45 YEARS...AND COUNTING !
MY FIRST DAY ON THE AIR WAS SEPTEMBER 10, 1967...45 years IS a long time !
But. I want to Celebrate by honoring two of my closest friends who were there with me before I ever became the "me" that you know today.
My friends DON PIETROMONACO (KXOK's Johnny Rabbitt) and GAYLE McCORMICK (Singer of the R&R Classic "Baby It's You") were two of the BEST !
Don was one of St. Louis', and the countries, leading Air Personalities; Gayle was a Superstar whose humble beginnings in St. Louis led to National & International fame as a recording artist: with A Group Called Smith, and, later, as a solo artist.
Don, Gayle, and, myself were linked together, personally & professionally. In fact, with Gayle & I there is a KAAY CONNECTION that you will read about in my Tribute to her.
You'll also see how her career and mine ran side-by-side from our time in Rabbitt's "Bat Cave" in St. Louis, to Hollywood for Gayle, and Detroit for me...all within a fast-tracked 5 year period !
These stories are a History lesson in Radio in the 60's & 70's, Music changes during that same time period, a Chronological History of both Gayle & myself...showing how the link was indelibly forged, and that Don was the catylist for the THREE of us.
You'll also learn of the mystical, magical, event that caused me to write the Tributes that you'll read...and no the were not based on "coincidence".
Gayle's Tribute Section was a massive undertaking that required 10 days and 60 hours worth of work...but I was there from the beginning, and my first-hand memories of all the events documented needed to be written, so neither Gayle, nor Don, will ever be forgotten. I loved them both...they were the truest friends you could imagine.
Thank you, each and everyone for FORTY-FIVE FANTASTIC YEARS !
(You will love the King-KAAY-McCormick Connection Story...it helped "put us on the map Nationally" !)
Here's Gayle's Link: http://www.jonnieking.net/gpage28.html
(Don's is at the Bottom of Gayle's Page !)
My humble thanks,
Jonnie

Eric Thomas, KAAY, September 6, 1981
Eric Thomas seems to be everywhere! Here he is on the "graveyard shift". The first time mentioned was "12:02" and then "12:06 Sunday morning", where he was covering the shift until 5:30 AM. There was also mention that this was the Labor Day Weekend.
Temperatures seem a little milder, where he reported 69 degrees at the Capital Building. Another 'scoped studio copy; nonetheless, more great memories one could have heard via skywave (if one would have been awake!)....
(or download here)
And this Labor Day, it is good to mention that KAAY was born FIFTY YEARS AGO! Happy Birthday KAAY!
Thanks again to Dave S. for the great work he does, and to Russell Wells for sharing on this momentous occasion!

Cuban Letter Interpretation, By Friend Thom Whetston
From one of our blog friends, Thom Whetston, of the AFRTS Archive (see the link under Mighty 1090's Friends on the right), here is a note for the interpretation of a previous letter from Cuba:
"Hi Bud:
This is rough, but it’s pretty much what the Cuban was saying in his letter on your blog:
Havana 12 March 1974
I'm one of the listeners of KAAY and Beeker St. For me this is the best program in the world with a high musical quality.
From the musical interpretations I prefer Rare Earth and Alice Cooper.
I'm also addicted to the music of Grand Funk and Led Zepplin.
I'd like to give you a list of my favorite groups:
Led Zepplin
Grand Funk
Alice Cooper
Rare Earth
I'd really like an Alice Cooper poster."
It looks like in the other Cuban letter, the writer mentioned posters for Jimi Hendrix, Santana and Black Sabbath....
Thanks, Thom! I've lost the ability to read & speak Spanish, since I never use it any more. And be sure to visit Thom's fine blog, regarding the history of the Armed Forces Radio and Television Service, he has plenty of studio-quality audio there, of those who served and aired great music and programs to our armed forces all over the world. We salute you, Thom, for your service and those who served!
