Here is the second aircheck that our very own Greg Barman sent to A. J. back in 2006, as promised:
"The second aircheck is with Ken Knight, from December 1974. Note the Spanish ID and 'Greetings QSLers', the ad for a hard rockin' local band, and the intro for Beaker Theater."

What TRULY fond memories this clip brings!
ReplyDeleteIt gives me goose bumps.
Do you think that some day a compilation of Beeker
Street and Beeker Theater recordings will be
assembled? I could listen forever.
We're all getting older and seek remembrances of
our youth. This is one of mine. A BIG one.
Used to listen to KAAY at night 1000 miles away in Minnesota. Would like to know which radio plays were used for the theater.
ReplyDeleteFound one Old Time Radio "X Minus One" episode "Junkyard".
Landed on a planet that stole memories. Could not remember to take off. reassembled engine to be more efficient and had leftover parts added to the Junkyard.
I to am from minnesota and loved beaker street and theater..this was one am station that beat any fm station today...great memories
ReplyDeleteMinnesota here too! Loved beaker theater!
ReplyDeleteMonroe,LA I used to live for this program. Me and a bunch of my 'ner do well compatriots would way out in the sticks with a bonfire and other illeagal substances. Sometimes 2 or 3 radios going. Thanks KAAY.
ReplyDeleteDiscovered Beaker Street and KAAY at summer camp (Episcopal/Bratton-Green) outside of Canton, Mississippi. Having only listened to Top-40 stations, I was shocked at what I heard...but I knew I liked it! Can still remember "(I know) I'm Losing You" by the Faces (Rod Stewart) echoing over three radios in Cabin B at 3am. When I got home (Hattiesburg, MS), I scored major "cool points" by introducing Beaker Street to all my friends. Totally changed our taste in music and Top-40 radio lost all luster!
