Another "Who Is It?" By Barry Mac

Barry McCorkindale posted this up on the Facebook page, "KAAY-AM The Mighty 1090": "Well, it was in the KAAY '60s photo album. Anybody got any idea who this feller is?" Dale Seidenschwarz/Clyde Clifford replied: "Richard Weithan (sp?) Buddy Karr. He died in a jeep accident at summer camp. He was GOOD."

I don't think we've ever seen a good picture of him.  If I remember correctly, KAAY retired the air name "Buddy Karr" after Richard died.

Thanks, Barry Mac!

KAAY Train?

 

Posted by Chris McGaha on the KAAY-AM The Mighty 1090 Facebook page:

"This is me operating the Portable Party Machine in a mail car on the Hog Train on the way to the Sugar Bowl when the Hogs played Alabama. We were the only system that could operate on a moving train car because the system used old cart machines instead of turntables. I designed the t-shirt and sold them at our shows. The rest of the car was full of drunk and high people dancing. Part of my pay was admission to the Super Dome for the game. I had sea legs so bad from standing up in that moving car all night I couldn't hardly walk."

Mark Larsen mentioned that is Terry Caldwell behind Chris.

Betcha that was a wild time!  Thanks, Chris!

I remember this story being posted on A. Lindsey's previous KAAY Blog and the discussions we've mentioned...and here is the newspaper clipping, courtesy of Tim Brown on the KAAY-AM The Mighty 1090 Facebook page. He dated it 7/7/65.

 In April 2012, I was in Little Rock...I think it was Charlie Scarbrough who was taxi'ing me around on this particular day, showing me a bunch of stuff, and we drove past Howard Watson's son's home, where Howard was living at the time.  Charlie told me that Howard was in very poor health.  I stated that it would have been neat to meet him, if he were doing better, but we decided not to make a "cold call" and respect their privacy.

Howard Watson, "The Weird Beard", RIP.

Well, Look At This!

 

I have a floor radio very, very similar to this.  Neat display!  I wonder if they're piping music through it, but it doesn't appear to be lit up.  Just a nice, big, wide-range speaker behind it, firing forward, emitting music from some source, would be nice!

A Poster We've Never Seen!

 

Doug Virden posted this on the KAAY-AM The Mighty 1090 Facebook page.  Note the price!

His comments: "Saw this on a wall at a flea market. Never have seen a beat New Mexico State poster."

And Steven Cook commented, " At $225, I'll never see one again!"

Thanks, Doug!

KAAY Program Pick 72

 

I can't remember if I posted this, so here it is...forgive me if it's a repeat.  Gleaned from the KAAY-AM The Mighty 1090 Facebook page, by Doug Virden.  His comments:

"The song @ #25 is Jesus Was a Capricorn by Kris Kristofferson. Those were the most tabulated songs of the week. Doesn't have a date on it, I'm guessing it is sometime in November."

Thanks, Doug!

The Old GMC Is Gone....

 

Yep, the old 1969 GMC 1500 pickup truck I had has a new home.  I only taped this bumper sticker on it, for effect, so I wouldn't ruin the sticker.  The KAAY-AM The Mighty 1090 has been using this picture as their header for a long time.

I just didn't have the time, energy, drive, nor MONEY to throw into restoring it.  A neighbor bought it for his grandson.  The neighbor used to do body work and build racers.  With the little 1965 283 V8 in it, I'm sure they'll have fun.  That engine would 'chirp' the big, wide 60-series tires I had on the drive axle!

To be sure, I got a newer truck at a great deal.  I'm much more comfy now, thanks.  I may even put a KAAY bumper sticker in the window....

Bodyguard

 

This picture recently popped up on the KAAY-AM The Mighty 1090 Facebook page.  Barry McCorkindale put the question out there, "who was this?  Dale Seidenschwarz knew:

"Robert 'Bo' Marshall.  He was Win Paul Rockefeller's security man."

 Robert Lusk also mentioned, "...also a former LRPD public information sergeant."

Thanks to Barry Mac, Robert Lusk and Clyde Clifford!  Keep 'em comin'!
