Mad Daddy came before Wolfman Jack, beginning to develop his character in 1957 at WHKK Akron, Ohio. He moved to WJW Cleveland in 1958, WHK in 1959 and then to...
For what it's worth, Wolfman Jack never would have heard Mad Daddy's Ohio broadcasts while living in New York. Here's why: WHKK in those days was required to...
Very interesting statistics. I knew WHKK Akron was very low power as we couldn't get it where I was in London, Ontario. WJW came in loud and clear so I always...
So, it would have been possible that under the right conditions we could have received some NY broadcasts in Akron? Is there such a thing as "skip"? Or is...
Yes. It would have been possible. Since WINS was an AM station its signal would bounce off the ionosphere back to earth long distances away (skip). We called...
No tapes, just faded memories. Could have been Akron or Cleveland and I recall skips from New York. Listened to the show on a 9-volt radio, I might have...
... Aren't there plenty of clips on the Wavy Gravy! cd from Norton? And also, there's 30 mins. of an aircheck from 6/26/59 available. I have an mp3 of it, plus...
And I meant to mention too, that these are from WHK... Sorry...a bit tired. From reading just these few messages, I really wish I was around for this stuff...
Oh yeah...forgot I had this in my Favorites folder: http://www.reelradio.com/bt/#mdwhk59 I know these are mp3s, but hell, it's something, ain't it? Ben...
while looking for a pic of the infamous "batty bucks" online, i stumbled across this ad for "mad daddy shoes" and was all excited that i had stumbled across...
What a disappointment. It's as bad as the (supposed) Mad Daddy clip on the Shock Theatre movie trailer video that is referred to in another forum e-mail. It...
... on the ... forum ... live ... Oh...and it turns out that same Mad Daddy "clip" is on the "Monsters Crash The Pajama Party" dvd from SWV...heehee Ben...
Greetings fellow muffins and fisteris munchers. What a delight to find a site dedicated to the splendid Mad Daddy. I was asked to compile a Mad Daddy lp in the...
Thank you friend, I have visited the list and am amazed to find that Charlie Gracie is the singer of CRAZY GIRL. Incredible. Very useful list. I'll add my...

Hello Jay, what great work you are doing. I have looked at your list and here are my observations - This Is The Nite is by The Valiants, it's the flip of Good...
Thanks for the information Paul. I'll update the playlists with the changes. I appreciate everyone's help in making them as accurate as possible. The picture...
Big Bad Train is by Lee Castle with Jimmy Dorsey Orchestra. I guess it was their brief foray into R'n'R. I think it could be the basis of "It Thing Hard-On" by...
Paul: Here are the songs and artists that I have identified on my play lists. JUNGLE FEVER - The Shadows IN THE DARK - Lavern Baker (his 1958-59 show close) ...
Hello Jay, thank you very much for your information. I can now search for these records.I was playing some Mad Daddy to my son today, I like to encourage these...

Many people don't realize that John Zacherly was a great influence on Pete Myer's Mad Daddy persona. Much of what he did is based on the original charachter...
I love Zach!! I've got the 45 of "Dinner With Drac" and the two versions of "Zacherle's Monster Mash". Plus, those cds that are available on Ebay. Great stuff!...
Yes I remember Dick Biondi well. I listened to him on WLS in Chicago. We used to be able to get Chicago stations in London, Ontario on a good night. There are...
didn't know about that 440.com site. Nice to see some Jerry G. Bishop on there (The original Svengoolie)...gonna have to check that out. Thanks! Ben...
Should also be noted, Zach did radio for a long time in NY too. Don't know for sure what kind of RnR he played (whether it was goofy stuff like The Mad Daddy...
Just wondering, who do you guys listen to you that manage to have some originality or soul (or style) to them these days? I know I can't be the only here...
