"Border Radio" -by- Gene Fowler and Bill Crawford
(Limelight, 1990) is a detailed and amusing history
of the snake oil salesmen, radio preachers, and
rollicking disc jockeys who worked south of the border
on powerful AM stations, beaming their English-language
signals north with programming illegal in the US.

NOTE - National Public Radio (NPR) is proposing
a merger with Public Radio International (PRI)
http://www.bizjournals.com/washingto...12/story4.html
Both 'non-profit' organizations receive federal funds
indirectly through the Corporation for Public Broad-
casting (CPB), which gives 'public' Radio Stations
money to buy programming.

I wasn't on the left coast for Wolfman Jack in
his heyday, but you would think the whole rock and roll biz depended on
him from listening to the that show.

Often musical trends start in clubs long before the recording companies
get in the picture.


I was out west when Wolfman was in his hayday.. and I can say that he was
quite instrumental in bringing rock and roll to much of the western US, far
beyond the 'local' reach of the stations he worked at. There was much of
rock and roll that was never played on stations in places like Idaho, Utah,
Nevada, Arizona and New Mexico, because of the very conservative nature of
these states. Though my listening to Wolfman and his contemporaries on
border radio didn't start till I was 13 in 1968, they were still a
significant influence in those areas. At that time, stations in Salt Lake
City were still playing 'cleaned up' versions of top chart songs like Lou
Christie's "Lighting Strikes" and "Rhapsody in the Rain", and not playing
some of the chart records at all. We turned to the border blasters to hear
the stuff our locals weren't giving us.

Long before he was in L. A., the Wolfman broadcast out of Del Rio,
Texas late at night on 1570. I remember him from the early '60s and
it was just plain creepy.

''Stan's Record Shop, 728 Texas Street, Shreveport, Louisiana'' was
his sponsor.

Back in the 1950's I used to listen to that preacher guy in Del
Rio,Texas.I can't remember his name just now.

A parody of the many late night radio preachers
that sold all sorts of religious icons over the air
on the powerful Radio Station in Mexico near
Del Rio, Texas.

days when you could pick up New York
City,Sacramento,Portland,Oregon,Miami and all points in between from
right here in Jackson,Mississippi.
