Greetings, everyone!
I'm looking to track down information on two hard to find (ok, hell, really
REALLY obscure, heh heh) countdown shows from the 70s.
One of them was called "Music Scene USA" and was hosted by Wink Martindale -
it was the "Easy Listening" version of AT40 and was also produced by
Watermark. I found an old ad for it in a 70s Billboard on Google Books, but
that's it. I remember this show well, it was on every Sunday at 12 Noon on
KVI-AM in Seattle, and i'd like to find out more about it.
The other one is a bit more difficult, because I don't remember the name of
the show, or the host. It was a countdown of the top 20 AOR songs of the
week, based on something called the GoodPhone Music Survey, the only time
I've ever heard of this magazine/callout/trade/whateveritwas. It used to run
every Sunday at 5 PM on a station in Walla Walla WA; it was on right before
Dr. Demento, who was on from 7-9 PM. The year was 1979, if that's any help.
All of the above, along with AT40, Reelin' In The Years, The Robert W.
Morgan Special Of The Week, and several others all ran on Sundays in the markets where I heard them, and I'm planning to write about all of them in a new column debuting soon on my website. I'd also like to eventually make a directory of as many syndicated shows as I can find, or maybe help contribute to the one I read about elsewhere in this topic.
If anyone has any info on those shows, or knows where I might be able to find them online or on LP from a good transcription dealer, i'd greatly appreciate it!
Thanks!
