More Take One Advertisers

Villager Nashville ad 1979
 
WKDF One For The Sun 1979

The Great Escape ad

More invaluable Take One magazine advertisers! The Villager, a bar in Hillsboro Village, was a favorite hangout of mine during my senior year of high school and afterwards. WKDF-FM was an early supporter of the zine, and this is their ad for the 1979 "One For The Sun" concert they co-promoted. Finally, The Great Escape, which came on board as an advertiser early, after they'd moved from a small house on Division to the much-larger location on Broadway that they subsequently spent decades in. I met Gary Walker, The Great Escape owner, when he was selling comics at the flea market every month at the Fairgrounds. I was an early customer at their Division store, and even worked for the company as a computer consultant, installing their first computer system and training staff members in its usage. Gary's son Greg became a good friend, and he contributed to my The Other Side of Nashville book. Thanx to all these folks for their support!
