Acadianas Album Station

Say, what? Been off the board for a while, and just now seeing this. Trying to open your site, Smashed, but between the Christopher Columbus vintage on this computer, and the slowness of our backwoods ISP, I may have seen you at Cap's before it happens.
Don't have any of the old K94 playlists. But if you buy me a few shots of Cap's George Dickel and gimme a coupla Dixies to chase it with, I'll just betcha we can scribble down most of it on a pile of napkins.
Blair, any word on the whereabouts of that sweet patootiebird of life, your WNPS night lady, "Sister" Sarah Clark?
And BTW, Smashed, I have another K94 souvenir I'll bring ya in September.
Soxless.
 
Mashed DVD...been playing your list the last couple of nights at work and have enjoyed it. Marshall Tucker, Dickie Betts, Charlie Daniels....the good shee-it the consulants won't play. Soxless who? Add some Guy Clark "L.A. Freeway", Jerry Jeff "Sangria Wine", Asleep at the Wheel...Seagraves would be happy camper. How many on a playlist?

Seagraves...ATT has that USB laptop broadband, if you can get a signal thru the trees. He's a link to the coverage map, http://www.wireless.att.com/coverageviewer/

Sara Davis...close (Guy Clark on ya mind?), no idea. Last saw her in Lafayette in '77 when she came by for a visit. Girl had some nice lungs. Julie Tanner was in Germany married, Kathy Thurman was in Grenada, MS., John Scott, who knows and Dan Diamond, no idea but know where he ain't. Wonder what happened to the WNPS gorilla suit they bought. Bright minds back then.
 
I have somewhat of a recollection as a listener who took a lot of mental notes:

There are some "garnish" tracks that on paper would seem odd, but I do remember these airing and at my KRKR* stint, we would get requests for these.

Benny Mardonnes-"Too Young", "American Bandstand"-Never Run, Never Hide
The Kings-"The Beat Goes On/Switching To Glide"-(album ???)
.38 Special-"Chain Lightning"-Special Forces
Point Blank-"Nicole"-
Axe-"Rock and Roll Party In The Streets"
Ozzy-"Over The Mountain"-Diary of a Madman
Cars-"Misfit Kid"-Panorama
Jefferson Starship-"Black Widow"-Wind of Change
Le Roux-"The Last Safe Place On Earth", "Addicted"-Last Safe Place
John Hall-"Crazy(Keep On Fallin)"



*=KRKR was the former KVOL-AM's foray into classic then album rock then light-AAA which existed from August 1986-June 1988.

Thanks :) mashed dvd :)
 
I would like a list of the artists that were played pre Hit Radio KSMB that may have been forgotten about. Its been 24 years since I could listen to K94 FM I may have forgotten some.
 
Smashedcd, thanks for the direct link to your K94 tribute site. Haven't had much time to spend there yet, but definitely will.

Few more pre "Hit Radio" songs we played on K94/KSMB: Thunder Head/Rock Me, Roll Me; Robert Palmer/(trilogy) Hey, Julia, Sailing Shoes, Sneakin' Sally through the Alley; Pot Liquor/Cheer (and) Levee Blues; The Jim Carroll Band/People Who Died; Rick Shaw Band/Marathon;
Pat Travers Band/Snortin' Whiskey and Drinkin' Cocaine (and) Boom, Boom (Out Go the Lights); more LeRoux/Love Abductor (and) Take a Ride on a Riverboat (and) Can't Do One More Two-step; more Benny Mardones/She's So French (and) Mighta Been Love (and) Sheila C.; Delbert McClinton/Shotgun Rider (and) Goin' Back to Louisiana; Zebra/Bears; Diesel/Sausalito Summer Nights

Blair mentioned the Guy Clark tune. Strangely enough, even though I'd never had any complaints when I mixed in quite a bit of Jerry Jeff Walker with our otherwise pretty (for the time) ordinary album-rock mix the four years I was at WNOE-FM, when I played a couple of Jerry Jeff cuts on his birthday on K94, got some pretty angry complaints about putting that in. But a few months later, when our country AM sister, KXKW, presented Jerry Jeff at Grant Street Dance Hall, I saw most of the same people I'd see at any of our hard rock shows. Go figure, huh? ::)
 
I have an album by a band called Thunderhead. It was recorded in Louisiana The only song I ever heard from it on the radio was busted in Georgia and that was on 98 Rock Jackson, Ms. Is that the same band? From what I am hearing and reading about K94 in its first few years it is like the present Deep tracks XM 40. I discovered K94 about 1981 and it was starting to go more metal (hard rock now). But I had an aircheck where they were playing a band called yello or yellow? and Saga.
 
224 artists so far. I think I have the main ones its the fringe ones I am looking for now. In its early days was it like an AOR station that played the Eagles, Firefall, boz Scaggs..etc? I didnt hear it in the 70s.
 
Probably the same Thunderhead album--think they had only the one. When I was at WNOE-FM, as a quid pro quo for their appearing on our "Monday Night Live" series at The Showboat in Fat City, we played a cut from it called "Busted in Breaux Bridge." Supposed to have been a true riff on their getting pulled over for speeding in a beautiful little town (home of the annual International Crawfish Festival; also, of Carolina Panthers QB Jake DelHomme) 7 or 8 miles east of Lafayette on I-10, while on the way back from playing a club gig in Houston.
Trooper smelled something that made him fantasize raping a Baskin-Robbins, searched their van, and semi-serious legal trouble ensued.
Seems I also remember one of the members--or maybe their manager--getting mega-PO'd at me for slipping and calling them Thunder MUG in one of my live plugs. ;D
Remember playing a cut or two from Saga; not sure the titles, or what year. Some others that have occurred: Montrose/Rock Candy; Billy Thorpe/Children of the Sun (and) East of Eden's Gate; Aldo Nova/Fantasy; another Delbert McClinton/his semi-hit, Givin' It Up (for Your Love). And yeah, we did mix in some mellower, not really rocky stuff like Dan Fogelberg and some of the hipper (well, seemed that way at the time) Linda Ronstadt. Like a lot of stations outside the top 20 markets at that time, we really couldn't just let 'er rip and blow the doors off the sucker. Had to wimp it up a bit, not-really-rock artists wise...and dayparted a few cuts to after 4PM that you now hear at 9AM on the classic rockers. But it was fun to do while it lasted. ;D
 
I liked Linda Ronstadt ;D She was on FM (The movie) When I lived in mississippi we changed the words to that Thunderhead song to Busted In Gloster ;D Riding thru Gloster on the way to Busy Corner.....Not a worry in the world and nothing could be finer...staring out the window watching the countryside...When we got to amite county I thought Id die...Busted in Gloster never see my home again
 
Smashed...been listening the last couple nights and enjoying the tunes, good job. Actually quality sounds pretty good with the little sub I have with the speakers. Buster Poindexter & the New York Dolls on now. Enough to have the old lady next door bang on the wall. Can anyone add songs to the list or just you? Request...Mr. Slacker PD

Little Gandy Dancer - BTO
Any Stevie Ray Vaughn
Never Been Rocked - Delbert McClinton
Don't Change Horses - Tower of Power (more TOP!)
Tupelo Honey - Van Morrison or Wayne Toups (good version)
L.A. Freeway - Guy Clark

Soxless would be proud...speaking of which, Seagraves, you gonna make it down to Caps in September?
 
Blair on the air (not to EVER be called "Blair DERE," for obvious reasons of the rotund runt Corvette persuasion)...for shurr, for shurr; will be at da Cap's September 20th. Hell, the way gas prices are coming down, I may even be able to buy some of my own beer -- but if The Rockin' Bird insists, I will let HIM, lol. Been leaning hard on Skinny Tom...but don't bet a lotta money on that show-up.

Back to K94 playlist memories (yeah, riiiiight, ME...MEMORIES?): one or two by Lillian Axe. Delbert's "Standin' on Shaky Ground" and "Before You 'Cuse Me." Did we already put on Pot Liquor's "Cheer" and "Levee Blues"?

Soxless.
 
Speaking of Potliqour, I remember we played "Waiting' For Me at the River" in N'Awlins, ya'll air it in da bayou 'dere? Soxless, Cap, I remember ya'll played an awesome guitar (no vocal) track back when I was a tike at Bro Mart (70'ish)...Stoned Cowboy I believe was the band, been trying to search for it forever...other RNO gems ya'll mighta played, Boston's Barry Goudreau solo "Dreams," LeRoux "Carrie's Gone," Madonna "Like a Virgin (oops, Mikey's reporting CHR daze with Melroy, sorry)", Flash & the Pan "Hey St. Peter," I'll think of more in between packing boxes for the move...
 
Keep em coming..You guys are brin back memories for me I remember all that stuff :) 228 artists so far :eek: What Top 40 was on the pre Top 40 KSMB? IE.. Tony Carey, Planet P, martin briley...
