What I find especially interesting about this issue is the list of radio stations on page 4 playing local music. There's a lot of writers in this issue that are still working as writers or are in the music business. Bill Lee was on board writing a column titled Dino Tracks. Bill has been entrenched in the Kansas Music Scene for a long time and his historical perspective really tied the scene together. For those of you unaware, a few years back Bill Lee started the Kansas Music Hall of Fame.

     This was a time when PAW had just been signed by A&M Records and was bringing a lot of attention to the area. The item in the "Around Hear" section (PAW to be Tortured, Killed on National Television, Page 5) is especially interesting pointing out the jealousy PAW aroused. Bill Lee's Dino Tracks reminded everyone that the Blue Things were actually the first rock band to be signed from Kansas.
