tHE KINKY LADY IS STILL FUNNY AND STILL MAKING PEOPLE LAUGH….AND SOMETIMES SHE MAKES GOATS LAUGH.
GOATS DON’T HAVE MUCH OF A SENSE OF HUMOR AND THEY LIE ABOUT THEIR AGE, AND THERE IS NO SUCH THING AS A CONSENTING GOAT IN THE STATE OF GEORGIA, AND GOATS LIKE TO DRESS UP IN SEXY CLOTHES AND PRANCE AROUND AND THEN YOU HAVE TO WEAR THAT STUPID ELECTRIC BOOT THAT GOES OFF WHEN YOU GO NORTH OF KILLIAN HILL RD.
DANG IT,
THE KINKY LADY

Remember the Kinky Lady? She was hysterical – mild by today’s standards I’m sure. And the Lobster Alert? It seems dumb now but back then it was truly funny.

Willis, sad to say, passed away a few months ago. He retired from the radio after he left WQXI, dangit.

THANK YOU SO MUCH for posting this! I think Gary McKee is/was the greatest DJ of all time and I’ve been searching for years on the internet to find an aircheck or two from him. This is WONDERFUL! I had recorded several cassette tapes of his shows back in the 70s and for the life of me can’t find ‘em anywhere.

I would love if anyone had some shows of his when he had Yeta Levitt. Those were awesome shows!

Now, if only we could hear “The Buford Triangle”.

Gary, Willis, et al, were absolutely great. I loved Willis’ puppet, Gerald Huh. And who can forget Willis the Guard’s song, “PBRs and Peanuts”? Atlanta traffic was almost tolerable listening to Gary on QXI in the morning. Thanks for saving a bit our youth!

There was noone better than McKee for so many years. Such a part of my daily life from 1973 to the day he left the air, he brought life to what was Atlanta for me. Noone even in all these years has become the icon he was. Listening to all these recordings brought back many memories of a simpler day and time. Thanks Gary for all the great memories!

I too, grew up listening Mckee, tuned in to whatever station he was at. Then in 1987, I went on “The Love Boat” with Mckee & the gang. WQXI started the Love Boat cruise and what an incredible trip it was. I will always remember, “Wake me up McKee you Bozo!!”
Yes, the raft races – wow what a blast that was.
McKee, all the best to you and your family. You truly were a part of my family for many years and your humor is sorely missed on Atlanta radio today.
God Bless

we returned to Atlanta july 1971, Gary McKee was a staple on wqxi-79.1… by the time I learned to drive, he was on both the am and fm WQXI stations…. I loved Gary, Willis, Yetta and then Art “madman” joined the team… what great fun Atlanta radio was… Gary and the wqxi team was responsible for the ‘GREAT AMERICAN RAFT RACE’ on the ‘Hooch, and the Light up Atlanta street party…. what great fun we had when McKee was around…. and yes, I still talk “through a cardboard tube” . I met him a couple times here and there, and talked to him on the radio many times…. he, like Lewis Grizzard are “GREAT AMERICANS”
