WAKY 1970s Text-Based Music Surveys

We're fortunate to have many scans of WAKY music surveys on this Website, but viewing them is a problem for the vision-impaired. So we're posting text-based surveys on this page, which may be enjoyed by those with screen reading software. If you have any other WAKY surveys that have been transcribed to text, or would like to volunteer to do so, let us know. Thanks!
