I really miss KSCS in the DFW area. Oh it still broadcasts, but it ain't COUNTRY. Back acound 1960 or so KBOX (1480am) switched from Rock & Roll to country. Boy was I mad. I shoud have appreciated it when it was around.

Patrick ,
KDAV was in Lubbock. (never knew of it being in Amarillo too) Two yrs ago KDAV went back on the air here in Lubbock but now it is a 24 hr "oldie R&R station (50's & 60"s) www.KDAV.com
We still have KLLL but just to mention back in the late 50's we had a DJ by the name of Waylon Jennings - - anybody know him?

Al U: You got it close. The town is "Villa Acuna" but it's pronounced "Vee-A-Coon-Ya"

Also XERF had a sister station that had Wolfman Jack in the 1960's, " radio XERB, cincuenta mil (50,000) watts de potencia, en Chooooola Veesta (Chula Vista

) California, baybeeeee!" That was when Wolfman played almost exclusively blues and R&B, no rock and roll, and he was great!!!

Trivia time: Who out there knows Wolfman Jack's real name?

I remember a station in Waco back in 1964-5 (when I attended 2nd grade there) called KBGO. They played a song that went "K-B-G-O, the big go in Waco." Its funny how you don't forget some useless trivia!

They played RnR like the Beatles and Righteous Bros.

Hey Sam,was the old County Line Bar beteween Waco and Hubbard still open then? Also the old Coconut Grove,where Willie started in the 50's.I'm sure you frequented them both while in the second grade huh.Probally where you learned to play steel.

Unfortunately, I was oblivious to those places when I was in 2nd grade. Moved to FLA after Waco and then to DFW. Dad followed the space program contracts around.

Al Udeen:
Yes, we have met. The incident I was referring to, was when the Regal Riverfront
was the Clarion Hotel.
It was after the show was over, and we were in my room, you were playing Steel, and I
was playing flattop and singing,(using the
term loosley), the roo9m was full of people,
the smoke was so thick you could cut it with
a knife, people were lined up out in the hall, half-way around the atrium,and had
propped the door open,
The Night Manager had come around for
the third time, before we finally got it
through our thick heads, that he meant business, so we finally shut down around
2:30 or 3:00 A.M.
Sorry you can't make it this year. Maybe next.
