@mattblaze Also I miss the clear channel (the band allocation, not the company) overnight Trucker shows. The Road Gang from WWL New Orleans was my favorite.
@pirateradiomap and WWVA’s overnight trucking show.

With Big John Trimble! My favorite though was Big John Parker, the weekend guy on the Road Gang...he was what I like call to a "cornball nihilist" He'd come up with these crazy pranks for the truckers to do...like look for the missing hour during the change back to standard time. And he would record the truckers who would call in and then he'd edit the tape to make them say weird things.
@mattblaze And he was a collector of vintage country music on Sunday mornings between 4-6 AM he had a specialty show called "Country Music the Way It Used to Was." I"d stay up all night to tape it and would switch over the WRVA to catch The Silver Star Quartet an old school Black Gospel harmony group doing request sfor people who were getting up for church. Caught a few of those on tape.
@mattblaze
I've probably got about 100 hours worth of the Road Gang on cassette...a digitization project I should get to post haste given I recorded them in the mid-late 80s.
@pirateradiomap Oh, that definitely needs to b e online!
@[email protected] Yeah! I've got some digitizied...I'll try to put them up soon.
