oompaw, remember this .......
Beaker Street with Clyde Clifford was the first underground music program broadcast regularly on a commercial AM radio station in the central US.[citation needed] Beaker Street began on Little Rock, Arkansas 50,000 watt AM radio station KAAY late in 1966 and ran through 1972. The show's original announcer, Clyde Clifford, moved to FM in 1974[1] as the rise in popularity of FM radio began to impact the operations of many AM stations. Beaker Street pre-dated the FM radio boom of the mid 1970s and foretold the rise of Album Oriented Rock and Classic rock formats.

Remember getting a faint signa in New Orleans to listen to Bleeker Street. Used to watch Midnight Special also - but it was pretty obvious that many of the acts were not performing live, but were synching to a recording.

pepe, I guess I just never tuned in to it. I reckon I just stuck to what I knew I could get and never really scanned the dial.
