I listened again to the WKDA aircheck again. It's pretty special to me.

I had suffered through 2 weeks of the Hong Kong Flu before Christmas 1968. In fact, that Friday when school got out, I got to attend my class Christmas party in 7th grade. My fever was breaking for hours at a time and I was real weak. My family was heading from Kansas City to Nashville that night. I was 'well' by the next day. I had a little 100 mw. AM going back then and loved radio. I listened to WKDA and even made notes so I could try to replicate it 'playing DJ' once I got home.

That aircheck was exactly what I remember hearing one night at my aunt's place in December 1968. I thought WKDA was exceptional. Now not so much. It's weird hearing what you actually heard half a century ago. I doubt I would if I hadn't written everything down and tried to make myself sound like that recording while a kid. It was sort of eerie hearing the recording and realizing how familiar it was.
