Anyone here remember "Beaker Street"?
Good ol' Clyde Clifford and "The Mighty 1090 KAAY". Quite possibly the finest "underground" radio program of all time. This was during the freewheeling '70's, at least as far as radio was concerned. I miss those days. Many's the night I sat up and listened to the show in my parents kitchen or my room while the parents were telling me to go to sleep.Incidentally, Clyde Clifford is still going. www.beakerstreet.com. We need more radio like that over the airwaves. Never mind me, just reminiscing again. Sigh...I really miss radio.

1. I got turned on to so much music through that show
Even though later on in its history there were a couple of fairly innovative
FM stations I could get locally, Clyde still played stuff that no one else did.
And that long-distance AM signal added to the mystique. I'll have to check out
some of those recent archives on his site.
