KMAQ 53 TODAY AND NICE COMMENTS ABOUT THIS ON "JUST TALK" THIS MORNING.

JUST IN CASE YOU ARE WONDERING....THE MAQUOKETA CITY COUNCIL IS MOVING FORWARD WITH INSTALLING A WIND TURBINE ALONG SUMMIT STREET NEAR THE MAQUOKETA YMCA. MORE LATER.

FAMOUS BRANSON ENTERTAINER AND IOWA NATIVE (CEDAR RAPIDS) DOUG GABRIEL
WILL BRING HIS BRANSON SHOW TO THE OHNWARD FINE ARTS CENTER IN MAQUOKETA
ON SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 10TH. TICKETS ARE $22.00 IN ADVANCE.
SHOULD BE A VERY GOOD SHOW! IT WAS GOOD WHEN I SAW IT IN BRANSON A FEW YEARS AGO.

THAT FIRST WEEK KMAQ-AM WAS ON-THE-AIR, 53 YEARS AGO, BILL GOLD RAN QUITE A FEW SPOTS ADVERTISING A BIG PAINT SALE...FOR GOLD'S DECORATING LOCATED BELOW
THE KMAQ STUDIOS. THE FIRST SPOTS I MYSELF SOLD WERE TO DWIGHT DARNELL OF THE DARNELL OIL COMPANY ON SOUTH MAIN STREET, NEXT TO PETERSON'S A & W DRIVE-IN...THE ZEPHYR STATION. WE WAS A REGULAR ADVERTISER AFTER THAT UNTIL HE SOLD THE STATION IN THE EARLY 70'S. AND HE WOULD PAY FOR THE
SPOTS IN CASH 3 MONTHS IN ADVANCE. RADIO SPOTS THEN WERE ABOUT $1.50...GAS
WAS AROUND 27-CENTS A GALLON...VICEROY CIGARETTES WERE ABOUT A QUARTER
A PACK AND I WAS MAKING $65 A WEEK AND RENTING A SLEEPING ROOM FOR $7.50
A WEEK.

HAVE A NICE WEEKEND.
