Yeah, WLS had the National Barn Dance or some such thing up until '60 when they converted to rock; first song played - "Alley Oop" by the Hollywood Argyles. Both Dick Biondi and Clark Weber are still around.

You must be an ol fart like me. LOL

In reminiscing, musn't forget the "Wolfman."

Still one of my all-time favorite tunes: "Clap for the Wolfman."

Oh man...let's get older together. A station in Bakersfield carried Wolfman Jack when I was cruising Fulton street in Fresno from about 50 to 54. For years I thought his show originated from there until I read a story about him...

He's gonna rate your record high
If you got the curves baby I got the angles

A blatant whorish attempt to get radio play as bad as "Cover of the Rolling Stone" and Al Stewarts "Song on the Radio".
