Great stuff on Post!

Thanks! You folkies stick together of course--should've known you'd be all over this. I admit I didn't really know much about Jim Post until I went over last week's '72 papers, but then I started listening to his "Colorado Exile" via YouTube--it doesn't seem to be available on Apple Music which is insane--and I am hooked. The first song especially, but several others, are almost indistinguishable from Mumford and Sons. If they'd re-released it in the last couple of years, re-engineered a la all the Beatles stuff, it could have been a huge hit I believe.

WFLD was/is Channel 32. 44 was WSNS. Just sayin'.

Oh my God, where was my brain when I wrote that. Many thanks. Correcting now. Which is to say taking it out. Sheesh. Thank goodness for smart readers.

Do you remember Dick Allen's talk show on WSNS? I think his Ed McMahon was someone named Les Kipnis. 1972 at its 1972est.

Uh-oh. I know it's bad a comment on oneself. Still, I think White Sox, Dick Allen and talk show history happened in 1973.

And now I feel shame.

No shame allowed--mistakes will be made, the important thing is that they be corrected. But you're right the second time. Just looked it up: The Dick Allen Show premiered May 20, 1973.
