Count reeshard:
Scream! AMAZING!! In one fell stroke, Ralph Nielsen effectively nullifies the entire recorded output of Peter Gabriel !!
2:22pm
RevPhil:

A lust-filled kick??? Holy crap, guys, we gotta go see that one!!!!!!
2:32pm
Marc Grobman:
Great to hear Ralph Nielsen's "Scream" again. Since I live within about 50 miles of where Nielson was playing, I've long hoped to sometime email you and Dick Blackburn with the news that I've popped 100 unplayed copies and to see what each or you would trade for a copy. The best record I've gotten so far from Dick BB is the great satire of all macho-boasting muscle car songs, Gene Savage's "Big Machine." Rex and Dick, if I fulfill my little dream of finding you a copy of "Scream," I want even better in trade. You're warned.

Nancy K:
In the hazy memories of my beloved transistor, I seem to recall that Mad Daddy came on after Murray the K on WINS.
It seemed like it was very late at night but I was very young.
2:50pm
RevPhil:
That Idols record remind me of "A Fool In Love" by The Ikettes.
2:51pm
rick:
Regarding Don Mincher, who also played for the A's and Angels, I believe, my first baseman's glove which I have had for the past 35 years or so is a Don Mincher autograph model. I'm not sure you can get very man autograph model baseball gloves nowadays which is puzzling.
2:56pm
Bill W:
RIP Don Mincher & vet ump Harry Wendelstedt, but to complete the circle of life, Orestes Cepedes makes his Cactus League debut for the A's in 10 minutes.
2:59pm
Daddy-O:
Vernon Green....Haunting record, one of his best !!!! Great Minds do think alike !!!

@Nancy K: wikipedia says: ""Mad Daddy" reached the peak of his popularity at WHK [Cleveland], hosting record hops and live after-midnight shows dressed in a Dracula costume. In July 1959 he moved to WHK's sister station in New York, WNEW 1130 AM, where "Mad Daddy" was not well received. He played it straight as Pete Myers there until 1963, when he moved to WINS and resumed the "Mad Daddy Show." This show was syndicated to other stations until WINS changed format to all-news in 1965. As again just Pete Myers, he returned to WNEW once more. Myers lived until November 4, 1968, when he took his own life in New York City, shortly after he had been informed that his show was to be moved from afternoons to evenings at WNEW."
