Midnight at the Oasis

By Mark Huffman

It was 1974. A President faced impeachment, gas had surged to 60 cents a gallon and women were burning their bras.Chris Pugley and Travis Buckner were young disk jockeys who didn't really care about what was going on in the world. After moving from small market to small market in the first two years of their careers, they suddenly had a chance to go to New Orleans to help KSLM, a stodgy old radio station, launch a rock music format. When you're 23 years-old, what could be better than that?Sandi Kelso was a sexy and streetwise 24 year-old New Yorker who moved to New Orleans on a whim and wound up at KSLM, doing mind-numbing office work. But events presented her with new opportunities to advance both her career and her love life.Maria Muldaur's sexy hit song that dominated the charts in 1974 provides part of the musical soundtrack as Chris, Travis and Sandi discover excitement, romance and themselves, while taking a big step toward adulthood. Their year in the Crescent City brought them closer together and changed the course of their lives in the process. If you're a Baby Boomer and can still remember being young, this book may make you smile. If you're Gen X or a Millennial, you might be shocked to learn what your parents were up to when they were your age. "Midnight at the Oasis" perfectly captures New Orleans in the polyester era, much the way "Mad Men" nailed the '60s.
