In November 1966, "Beaker Street" was born. No one seems to remember the exact date, but many remember the great music "Clyde Clifford" brought to the airwaves. This, from Richard Robinson's doctoral dissertation. Richard had given us permission to post this on December 30, 2009:
"Consider this: In November 1966, eerie music and strange sound effects filled the airwaves of KAAY, AM 1090 in Little Rock. Over these program elements, a slow deep voice says slowly, “Music of Iron Butterfly. It’s 12:01 and I’m Clyde Clifford, and this is KAAY, Little Rock, with Beaker Street until 2:00 a.m. this morning, Beaker Theatre at 2:00.” This was the voice and sounds of underground radio in its infancy, from Little Rock, Arkansas and beyond."
Thank you, Richard! Thanks also to "Clyde" and Beaker Street!
