Thanks, I checked it out. I remember WAKY as the oldies station when I was a kid, and I think I remember Bill Bailey too. The webpage said WAKY was around until '86, the year I turned 9. My favorite records at that time included "Sesame Street Sing-a-Long", featuring Cookie Monster with "C is for Cookie", and "101 Funny Knock-Knock Jokes", which I got at the school book sale. I really cracked my classmates up with those jokes.
