the first 45 i ever bought myself (89 cents) was "come go with me" by the del vikings...on dot...who doesn't remember randy's record shop as a sponsor on the shows on WLAC?...the AM signal skip was perfect and we were able to listen to WLAC nightly in college station (tx) in the late 50s and early 60s...

What memories that Randy's Record Shop conjurs up. My brother and I listening to WLAC, The Jivin' Hossman brought to you by Randy's Record Shop. The first great black blues singers were just kids then putting out records that you could send and get from Randy's. 8:05 and Time to Jive!! We would turn on the attic fan, open a window, flop across the bed and turn the volumn up.....we were livin' in high cotton.
