All this Salem talk has this Mid-Valley kid confused. I forget about the OTHER Salem. (Or, perhaps this is the OTHER Salem?)

Hey, I got to Salem, Oregon in 1980, but did not get to Salem, Massachusetts until the morning I first visited WMWM
Avatar 👻 Swag For Life Member 8:13pm
Austin Rich:

You have a 1980 Salem aircheck? That would be interesting to hear...
Avatar 👻 8:14pm

D'oh! I should say, the morning BEFORE I got to WMWM. Totally missed it in three previous Boston visits.

Sadly I don't think so. I might not have any from Eugene even from spending an entire week there in 1980

Yo Mr Time! This is the sort of public radio I was listening to around this same time, when I was stepping away from rock and rap for a bit and digging into the roots.

Hulloh! I wound up tracking down and recording many blues programs for Bob my last couple years in the Chicago area ... some on college stations, and some on commercial stations even

Ah, I made it JUST in time for the BobFest!

I feel like every station I've ever been at had a Blues Show like this. It's like a comfortable sweater; if there isn't a blues show around, I sort of wonder what's wrong...

I think the "Panic on 13th" website has some vintage punk radio shows from Eugene in the 1980's. But the last time I checked the files were not easy to download, for some reason. Hopefully he'll fix that at some point.

I don't recall much blues radio in the San Francisco area in the 1980s, even at KALX or KPFA. When I was on KALX they tried to steer me more towards punk

“Weekly World Blues” is an excellent show on the mothership.

While I was listening to radio in the 80's, I didn't get on the air until the 90's, and by then, every genre had managed to populate other spots on the schedule, even at the smaller stations. I remember there being a huge uproar over the need for another Grateful Dead show on my first station, and how that fight lasted for the better part of a year. I think in the end the Dead Show got on the air, because: it was Eugene in the 90's.

I don't think I ever played CDs on the radio
Avatar 👻 Swag For Life Member 8:36pm

I assume by the mid-80's, most stations started using CD Players. Or am I wrong? They were commercially available by then.

KALX still just had turntables, carts, a cassette player, and I had lots of fun with the reel-to-reel

I still have a box of reels, and a reel to reel player, but most of the stations I've been at didn't have them anymore.

Just in the last few weeks, I finally got around to digitalizing the Sinatra tribute radio cassettes from the 1998 trip
Avatar 👻 Swag For Life Member 8:41pm

I played a few Sinatra records on my show, the first one after he passed. Probably around this date of this tape!

KALX still had a monophonic production studio while I was there ... they rebuilt it for stereo only in 1986 or 87

I assume they all didn't play those disco tracks for those Sinatra tributes....

That sort of makes sense. Stereo FM is expensive!

EEK, thank goodness no. They also tastefully avoided those latter-day "Duets"

When I first re-launched my show as MVM in 2016, I was on Friday Night, here in the Mid-Valley, after the weekly Blues Rock show, very much like this one. It certainly takes me back.
