I know the town where I grew up had a station that played early "rock" after hours and broadcast that music to anyone within range. That station was an icon in its day..

As for my Jerry Lee story, like I said, I promise, after he's gone, I'll share it. It's too personal for me and for him to broadcast it on the internet now...I wouldn't want to betray the trust I built with him at that time.
