Great blog! Really brought back the memories for someone who's lived in the Knoxville area since 1976, and thanks for pointing me to the "Knoxville Radio History" page. I still remember every single DJ listed for WOKI in 1980. I was actually quite friendly with Michael Henry Martin, and was a "regular" on Brother John's "Boogie Check". I used to have some tapes around here, somewhere... Anyway, thanks (again) for the memories!

Shotgun Stevens. Wow! I loved listening to his shows. I think my favorite part was the 'make me like you' show. I remember laughing so much listening to it. I actually was on the air a couple of times myself trying to convince him to like me but didn't succeed. lol
