[Description by Uncle Ricky, contributed by Daniel Fuentz] This Exhibit SCOPED (09:42) No music more often! But please remember that we pay bandwidth and hardware costs for anything streamed from REELRADIO. (Complimentary Scoping by Uncle Ricky.) Dick Lyons boasts a long career in Southern California and Los Angeles Radio, (KBLA, KUTE, KGBS, KLOS, KROQ, XPRS, KOCM, KACD, KZLA/KLAC, KBIG) but his first full-time radio gig was the overnight Lyons’ Den on Boss Radio 55, KAFY in Bakersfield, California, circa 1966. This rare sample of early KAFY answers a lot of questions. Yes, KAFY claimed to be “Boss”, but the jingles were most certainly NOT the Johnny Mann originals that appeared on the station a few years later. And, instead of “20/20” news, you’ll hear an edition of “15/45” news! On this hot August night, it was 85 degrees (F) in Bakersfield at 12:45 in the morning! Residents could look forward to a toasty 105 degrees on August 9, but you could rent a furnished two-bedroom garden apartment for $109.50 a month – including the cost of the electricity to operate your “central refrigerated air conditioning system.” Having lived in Bakersfield for a couple of years in the late ’70’s, I can verify that the temperatures were normal and yes, you NEEDED to live in a refrigerator there. Remember, REELRADIO pays music licensing fees to present unscoped airchecks. Sadly, the fidelity on this recording hardly merits an unscoped version, so it’s provided in a ‘scoped version as well. However, the unscoped version does include a forgotten parody entitled “I’m Normal”, by an unheralded performer known only as “The Emperor” (begins at 6:35.)
