Austin country singer/guitar-stud Jim Stringer just turned me on to this great Web stie with dozens of MP3s from Kansas bands from the '60s who were managed by Mid-Continent Entertainment, which constantly advertised on KOMA, that 50,000-wat monstrosity in Oklahoma City. The site has MP3s from more than 20 bands, including Spider & The Crabs, The Bluethings and a couple of bands Stringer was in, The Upside Dawne and Tide. Most of these were cover bands so you're going to see a lot of versions fo Young Rascals and Wilson Picket songs. The site is HERE and my blog post about my KOMA memories is HERE.

I don't know. But I dig "I Dig Girls"!

The Heard: same group that released a single or two on Musicland USA? Probably not.
