But First, a word from our sponsors!
Times like this, what do we all crave? Chicken!
"I know you LOVE fried chicken. Everybody does! Now just listen here, babies, because I got a way that you can plenty of lip-smacking good fried chicken on your table, anytime you want it and almost for free!"
This was the kind of patter you used to hear on the Mexican X-Stations, that broadcast just across the border from Del Rio, Texas, from the 1930s clear through to the 1960s.
Click the link below for a recording of some of that choice radio gab! It's not actually from one of the X-Stations, but from WLAC in Nashville, but boss DJ John R worked the same ground as Wolfman Jack and the other Border Blasters. Both of them were white, but they talked they sounded black and "talked the Soul Language."
