Oh...and it turns out that same Mad Daddy "clip" is on the "Monsters
Crash The Pajama Party" dvd from SWV...heehee

Ben

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

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 live. Dick Biondi and others since just aren't the same,
haha...

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 (now looking at actual cd...) some of the clips are
from that aircheck show. I know it sucks to pay for things like this,
but on Ebay, someone sells four or five airchecks by The Mad Daddy.
FYI...

Ben

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 been
12 or 13. Parents didn't want me listening because it was the "devil's music". 
I was not deterred.

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 listening for distant stations DXing.

Did you ever hear Pete Myers on WHKK? I keep hoping to fimd someone
with a box of reel-to-reel tapes in the basement of his shows.

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
this what you are referring to?

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 WINS, New York.

Robert Weston (Bob) Smith aka Wolfman Jack was born in 1939 and grew
up in New York listening to Alan Freed and others. Since Smith left
New York before Mad Daddy moved to WINS, I doubt that he ever heard
him on WINS although he may have heard some of the Cleveland
broadcasts. According to his biography "Have Mercy!" he used to spend
hours as a teen listening to R&B DJs at night and pretending to be one
on an imaginary radio station.

Smith began in radio in Shreveport Louisiana around 1960, moving to
Newport News Virginia and later to XERF in Mexico. He developed his
Wolfman Jack persona, patterned after that of R&B singer The Howling
Wolf. If you listen to the two of them side by side, the resemblance
is remarkable.

Could this be where the toothless "Wavy Gravy" at Woodstock got his

I propose an Ernie Anderson group (pre-California car sales). This guy
was a direct rip-off of the Mad Daddy and had a wider audience because
of TV, but a scream none-the-less.  What a tribute.

With all the "borrowing" from Pete Myers, you'd think he would be
remembered by more than the small group here.

I bought this tape too after it advertised Mad Daddy. To my

of him still exists. He did appear on several shows as host of the
horror movie show Shock Theatre on WJW-TV in the summer of 1958. I saw
a show on cable back then. He appeared in his vampire cape and played
video tricks like having the camera change to a negative image or have
the image turned upside down so it looked like he was "hanging from
the ceiling". He was the inspiration for Ernie "Ghoulardi" Anderson to
host the same show a few years later.

I keep hoping that someday a kinescope of one of these shows will surface.

Hi everyone,

Just joined after hearing about this group (Hi Jim & Patrick!), and
wanted to tell you all about this thing I found (by
accident...always a thrill when something like this happens...).

Anyways, I picked up 6 volumes of vhs tapes by Something Weird Video
called "Hey Folks! It's Intermission Time!", and on volume 3
(partially Spook Show themed) there's an old ad for The Mad Daddy's
Shock Theater show. Now, be aware, he's not shown or even heard, and
I think this might have actually been for a Spook Show he did (in-
person, live appearance at a theater). So, unless there was someone
else in the 50's/60's who had a Shock Theater show, this must've
been our Pete, right? Right!

Unfortunately, my primitive computer can't make a clip of this to be
shared. So, maybe someone else wants to? Something Weird does have
these tapes on dvd-r now too, fyi.

Thanks!
Ben

I owe it to WFMU's first Archival Oddities tape, Jay Hunt's continual
dedication to keeping MDs legacy alive, Rex Doane's great segues &
aircheck clips from his Fool's Paradise radio show &
SerenDippity-Doo-dah for finding out about this guy, how way way great
he was & for making Mr. Myers' airchecks a permanent soundtrack
companion of me life.  A circle-salute to ye all!

Hugs,

cool, thanks for the tip...we'll have to check that out.

I have uploaded a number of pictures and news clippings to the photo
section. In the files section, I have loaded a biography, a set of
playlists for all known Mad Daddy airchecks and a number of .mp3 sound
clips.

Enjoy.

Used to listen to The Mad Daddy when I was  kid in Akron.  I'm not
sure how old I was at the time or even what years he was on the air
out of Cleveland. For a long time I thought I was the only one that
remembered this stuff and didn't have that completely correct, either.

While on the 'net trying to find a song I remember him playing--"Left-
foot" (which turned out to be "Leadfoot") I contacted Jay Hunt with
information from a Mad Daddy CD I had recently purchased and he
actually had a 45 of "Leadfoot".  Now, you have to remember this was
not a Grammy-caliber recording, and has faded back into obscurity
(deservidly) long ago, but Jay had a copy and sold it to me. I was
amazed. It doesn't take alot nowadays.

I've been away from Akron about 30 years and around here not a soul
has ever heard of the Mad Daddy.  There were alot of Friday Nite
horror movie hosts (think Ghoulardi) in most major cities but none
have ever been the 'real deal' either on radio or TV. I guess I liked
his irreverence and his disdain for the rules. And especially his
warped sense of humor. If I remember correctly he was thrown off the
air over a sing-along of "Flying Purple People Eater".  Raunchy stuff
back in the 50's but PG-rated by  todays standards.  Anybody out there
with any information?  Tell me this geezer ain't headed for the home
yet!

Welcome to joining members of the Mad Daddy forum. Since I first began
searching the web for information on Pete "Mad Daddy" Myers I
discovered there are lots of people out there who remember him from
those golden days of personality DJs in the 1950s before the payola
scandal and top 40 formulas changed radio forever. There are also many
new fans who are discovering him for the first time, thanks to the
internet, oldies DJs who still play clips of his rhyming show patter
and Norton Records who released a CD compilation of his material a
couple of years ago.

I hope this forum will become a place for sharing old memories and
reminding us all of what a great place rock and roll radio once was.
