1950s Country shows on WCKY and KXEL

J

I remember listening to the The WCKY Big Y Jamboree show in the 1950s. I used to listen to Wayne Raney do it and remember the baby chick adds, the talking harmonica and a special bible among the commercials he read. He played his own song "Why Don't You Haul Off And Love Me" and introduced me to the songs of Jimmie Driftwood, especially "The Rattlesnake Song" and "The Battle Of New Orleans". For years I wanted to know who played the Steel Guitar Rag theme but thanks to this forum now know that it was Spade Cooley. I also listened to a very similar show hosted by Jimmy Skinner show on KXEL, Waterloo Iowa and remember his song "Doing My Time".

I would love to find airchecks of these shows.
