DAVY CROCKETT GOES ON ANOTHER JOURNEY The star of Walt Disney's Davy Crockett TV and movie series that debuts in December 1954, Fess Parker, begins a coonskin cap and buckskin craze with kiddos all across America. Bill Hayes' tune The Ballad of Davy Crockett is #1 for 5 weeks in 1955. Parker's own version that he sings on the December 15, 1954 Disneyland TV episode Davy Crockett Indian Fighter reaches #5 on Billboard. The 6-foot, 6-inch Fess Elisha Parker Jr. is born on August 16, 1927 in Ft. Worth, TX. He loves to mention that Davy Crockett's birthday is August 17th. Parker dies at 82 in his Santa Ynez Valley home on Thursday, March 18, 2010 of natural causes. He continues his coonskin romps on TV as the star of real-life frontiersman Daniel Boone from 1964-69. Among his other movies is the classic Old Yeller (1957). His name becomes a Disney legend in 1991. Later, Fess strikes gold as owner of the Fess Parker Winery and the Doubletree Resort along Santa Barbara's beachfront. The death of Fess Parker comes on the 84th birthday of his wife of 50 years, singer Marcella Rinehart. Family spokeswoman Sao Anash indicates that Parker is coherent and speaks with his family just minutes before he dies.

MEMPHIS SOUL MAN DIES Rock singer-songwriter-guitarist Alex Chilton dies at 59 in a hospital in New Orleans, LA on Wednesday, March 17, 2010. Alex is born on December 28, 1950 in Memphis, TN.

John Fry, owner of Memphis' Ardent Studios and a longtime friend of Chilton's sighs This sudden death experience is never something that you're prepared for. And yet it occurs.

SCULLY FALLS Legendary L.A. Dodgers Hall of Fame baseball play-by-play announcer Vin Scully spends overnight in the West Hills Hospital and Medical Center on Thursday night, March 18, 2010 as a precaution after he falls out of bed and hits his head at his Los Angeles-area home. The 82 year old Vin Scully announces Los Angeles Dodgers baseball games for 61 seasons. Despite Vin's bumps and grinds he plans to be back in front of the mic on Sunday, March 21st to do play-by-play of the Dodgers game in Arizona. Scully issues a statement that says I am spending the night (in the hospital) and plan on doing the game Sunday. L.A. Dodgers fans hear Vin's voice for so many years that only we old-timers remember Scully's time with the Dodgers in Brooklyn, NY. Vin Scully who is a native of New York City begins his Major League Baseball career with the good old Brooklyn Dodgers that lasts from 1950-57. The team's original name is the Brooklyn Trolley Dodgers. As Hall of Fame broadcaster Vin Scully sings Take Me Out to the Ballgame it is as much a part of baseball as the ball itself. Salute!

KLIF FLASHES OBAMA The latest health care fiasco that many refer to as Obamacare causes tensions to rise all across America. Tea party protesters are in every city and town in our homeland. News-Talk radio KLIF-570 in Dallas, TX takes it one step further when it urges listeners to flash Obama both night and day with their car's headlights. Steve Nicholl KLIF PD says the campaign puts a focus on making a visible statement to lawmakers. Steve states that it continues until the bill is defeated. We have activated our emergency response team on the streets of Dallas-Ft. Worth to send a message to Washington that this controversial health care bill will cause a national emergency. Lawmakers are to make their final decision about this castigation of America on Sunday, March 21, 2010.

DERRILL HOLLY (Arlington, VA) Hi Jim, thought for sure you would pick up on one thing that the young people writing and editing celebrity obituaries missed about the late Peter Graves’ career. Many of us who read JRRR still recall Graves as the father figure on that Saturday morning serial "Fury." We watched in every week from 1955-60 and got more than a little disappointed when parents explained that you could not keep horses in the city. – "Kids of the Baby Boom" as the Bellamy Bros use to sing. Have a great day! Derrill E. Holly; Senior Writer-Editor, Electric Co-op Today; National Rural Electric Cooperative Association

BOB GRANT [Robert Hanger] (Houston-Jersey Village, TX) Jim: As you know, we lost singer/guitarist Alex Chilton @ 59 on Wednesday, 3/17/2010. He was founder & lead singer in Memphis of group, The Box Tops, who had the hit "The Letter" (#1 August 1967) & "Cry Like A Baby," (#2 in 1968). The former record may hold title of the last #1 hit less than 2 minutes in length! I know you will have much info on death today of Texan Fess Elisha Parker Jr., but I wanted to add a few notes paper may miss tomorrow: Parker was raised in San Angelo, TX from age 3 months; att. Stephen F. Austin Elem. School there & grad at San Angelo H.S. 1943; (on Bobcats Football teams of 1941 & 1942); then played football at Hardin-Simmons Univ., Abilene, & later earned his bachelor degree at University of Texas. His late father, F.E. Parker, was Tom Green County Tax Assessor & served 2 terms as a county commissioner in San Angelo. (San Angelo H.S. is now Central High School) I once stayed at his Doubletree resort in Santa Barbara, CA hoping to see him, but he was out of town, according to wife Marcella. Fess died on the 84th birthday of his wife of 50 years! BOB & Sonny Lee

NOREEN DICKSON (Houston-Cypress, TX) Subject: The Exterminators on A&E. Thanks for the reminder it has been so long since (we) talked! I did see it last night as I was flipping through the channels. They were running a marathon of all the old ones which means they should be starting the new ones anytime. They have advertised Billy coming back on TV and if they gave me a date and time it is marked and alarm set. Perhaps I will check out the web site for A&E to see if they have the time listed! I have been reading when you mention Lacy and watching how the 2 of you have bonded since you got her. I am so glad that you finally found a compatible buddy to keep you company and share your life with. Although we have not personally met I am glad that we have become friends! Funny how life leads us. Please keep in touch. Noreen Give Lacy a big hug and kiss for me!!

TRIVIA ANSWER: Barry Manilow records his vocal and piano parts for Mandy in just one take. The tune reaches #1 and sells over a half million copies.

DAN MCCURDY (Sherman-Denison, TX) Subject: Kimball class of 1964? ...well, Jim...I checked Dan's picture, so he's not my doppelgänger (also NOT ME) but it is interesting that his HS grad year would have been my college grad year (had I not responded to the siren song of KLIF). So I'm one of those weird birds who, if I had stayed to graduate, would have had my successful career horribly torpedoed. I'm also one of the few guys I know who was hired as an executive by a Fortune 500 company (and stayed 20 years) without a college diploma. Further, (ask me the time, I'll tell you how to make a watch!), I've now got a PhD from McLendon University, with advertising and public relations as a double major. I also have three oak leaf clusters and a Purple Heart from my Boston fiasco. Um, don't ask where they put my oak leaf clusters <g>. - Dan McCurdy (1960 graduate of Hamlin, TX High School).

ALL THE NEWS THAT IS NEWS

SOMETIMES IT HAPPENS IN PAIRS Two of America's top entertainers - one in radio the other in TV and movies - pass away in the last few days. Radio Ink reports that legendary New York radio air personality Ron Lundy dies at 75 on Monday, March 15, 2010 in Mississippi from a massive heart attack. Ron spends 30 years behind the mic in NY radio. Many NY listeners remember Lundy’s famous sign-on from 1965 to 1982 on Top 40 WABC-770, Hello, love, this is Ron Lundy from the greatest city in the world! When WABC flips to Talk in 1982, Ron moves over to cross-town Top 40 WCBS FM (101.1) where he remains on the air until he retires in 1997. How can we ever forget Peter Graves in his role as Jim Phelps the head of an elite team of spies in TV's Mission Impossible that runs until 1973? Peter dies at 83 in his Los Angeles, CA home on Sunday, March 14, 2010. If he lives Graves will be 84 on Thursday. Sandy Brokaw, his publicist, says that he suffers a fatal heart attack after he returns from brunch with his family. He is born Peter Aurness in Minnesota as the younger brother of James Arness star of TV's Gunsmoke. Peter studies drama at the University of Minnesota before he heads west to Hollywood. In 1980, Graves becomes a comedian of sorts in his role as Captain Clarence Oveur in the film Airplane! In the 1990s, he hosts the A&E documentary series Biography. Peter wins an Emmy when he hosts a Judy Garland special on A&E. Graves continues to work steadily. He scores roles in films that include 2002's Men in Black II. In October 2009 he receives a star on Hollywood's Walk of Fame. Peter Graves' survivors include his wife of 60 years, Joan Endress; three daughters, and six grandchildren.

JOYCE WEBSTER [J.C.] (Mena, AR) Jim, Guess I remember Chet from having to deal with management people. Anyway, I remembered Chet's name, and that IS something these days. Give Lacy a great big tummy rub for me! We people of the night sure have to stick together! I have to tell you about the response I had from the 40sh women in my family when I told them about your story on Carly telling the name of the guy from Your So Vain. Good memories. Okay, my friend, you keep on keeping on! And, as my Irish daddy, Danny Doyle, would have said, "Call me anything you want just as long as you call me in time to eat." I sure miss him on St. Patrick's Day because we had so much fun with it, but...I've tried to pick up the mantle and make it fun for my mother, my sis and my kids and grand-kids. THAT is what my daddy would have wanted, and I know it. Tomorrow I'm making an Irish potato soup to share with my mother, and my oldest brought me from Iowa's Dillard's the neatest Irish green shirt to wear on St. Patty's Day. I may have to wear it over long johns, but I'm wearing it! And, may the Luck of the Irish be with you! (Sometimes I wonder WHAT luck of the Irish...seems to me Ireland hasn't always had such good luck.) Optimistic, though...JC

CHUCK CASHMERE (San Diego-San Marcos, CA) Subject: Chinese Radio. What would the Chinese want with an American Radio station that barely gets out of Galveston County. Would it be to broadcast locally. NO.NO.NO. How about eavesdropping...listening to what's going not so much for military information but the kind of work that's being done on the oil rigs off the Gulf Coast. Originally Foreign govs. could not own American air waves. That was a great idea, but what do we have here? The Chinese censure and hack google, now they have a listening post where hi powered listening devices can be utilized as broadcast equipment and our dumb government which is run by a bunch of incompetent affirmative action educated idiots, can't smell the a** holes coming. I'm sorry my country is in such terrible shape. I mean think about it, how many Chinese speaking Texans are there? Maybe we could move to China and start a country music station. H*** we'd never get passed customs! A paranoid patriot.

CHARLES GEORGE (Dallas, TX) Subject: DFW Radio. Hi, I always figured if a station had a number I could call without being charged for Long Distance and they could be heard clearly they were in the Dallas Market. I know that is stretching it, since I called KRRV 910 when they had a number as well as KYAL 1600. Also KDSX had a number where I made requests. Some announcers seem to pop up at every station in Dallas and Fort Worth like Rick Vanderslice(sp). KNOK had studios at least offices by the Forrest Theater, since they had a console that could be seen in the window. I am not sure whether it was used much. KBUY was interesting though they got wiped out in my part of town at night by KXEL with Religious programming. I do like the Art Museums in Fort Worth, and also their downtown is alive compared to Dallas. I like to take the TRE to go to the museums there and to see the water garden. I have never had a radio I hated, just some I liked better than others. I used to enjoy collecting the coverage maps and other materials that I could get from Radio Stations. When the locals had programming I did not care for my radios seem to land on KELI 1430 or WKY 930. Also I enjoyed listening to John R. on WLAC 1510.

JOHN HALE (Austin-Cedar Park, TX) Subject: Jim Rose Remembers Radio (#790) March 15, 2010 [Monday] Jim, John Hale here...sorry not to have written in a long time, but my computer one morning several months ago decided it didn’t know me, and it’s taken a longer while than I’d like to get it back up and running. It was cool to see Russ Knight’s email in the issue. I listened to and idolized him in his KLIF days while I was growing up in central Texas. I’ve got his ’62 Cruisin’ series CD, and every time I listen to it, I miss the really great radio from back in the day. It’s a shame that broadcasting is rapidly becoming a lost art. IPods will never replace real talent behind the mic. Hey, it’s great to be able to read the column again! John Hale

BOB EDWARDS [Peabody Award-winning member of the National Radio Hall of Fame] (May 16, 1947-p) The Louisville stations were loath to hire beginners, so I had to go across the river at a tiny station in New Albany, Indiana, which is right across from the river from Louisville, Kentucky, where I grew up.

DIAMOND JIM DIES The Fort Wayne News-Sentinel reports that former 1960s air personality on Top 40 WOWO-1190 Ft. Wayne, IN Diamond Jim Brady unexpectedly dies at 67 at Lutheran Hospital on Saturday, March 6, 2010. Fort Wayne is the birthplace of James Ellenwood Jr. Over the years local listeners hear Diamond Jim's voice on several other radio stations in the market. Brady is also an announcer on CH21 WPTA-TV. The name Diamond Jim Brady has historical roots. Edward Arnold portrays the legendary gambler in the Universal Pictures movie Diamond Jim that releases on September 2, 1935. The film covers his romance with popular entertainer Lillian Russell. Diamond Jim Brady dies in 1917 which is almost 20 years before the film is shot. Edward Arnold, who plays Diamond Jim, actually meets Brady twice when Arnold is a young actor who begins his career in the theater. A press release indicates that Ellenwood loves to fish, smoke cigars and collect items that he finds interesting, but his greatest joy is to spend time with his family and grandchildren. James' survivors include his wife, Gwen; three daughters; a brother, Michael Lee Ellenwood of Fort Wayne; seven grandchildren and one great-grandson. His memorial service is at D.O. McComb and Sons Pine Valley Park Funeral Home on DuPont Road in Fort Wayne. Diamond Jim's family asks that in his memory contributions go to the Juvenile Diabetes Foundation.

BREAKING NEWS FROM CLEAR CHANNEL No, there's not another severe earthquake upon which to report. All during 2009, Radio station owners and managers cut both employees and benefits due to what they call a down economy. Like oceans and beaches there are ebbs and flows. Maybe the tide is about to change because Inside Radio reports that Clear Channel SVP Bill Feehan tells his staff that 401(k) contribution matches begin on April 1, 2010 and is retroactive to January 1st. Mr. Bill says his decision comes from a prediction of better times for 2010.

JAY PENNINGTON (San Antonio-Boerne, TX) Subject: a mention about KEXL and Ron Houston. Hi Jim. Last Friday I was interviewed on the subject of how one person can make a difference / how just a small positive comment by someone can positively greatly affect another person. About halfway through the interview I talk about what was the magic of KEXL, about how Ron Houston positively affected the whole town of Blanco, TX, I mention about other KEXL jocks such as Bobby Reyes and Nick St. John. I also talk about Augie Meyer needing a kidney and his race to get one before this May. Your readers might find it an interesting interview.

I used to listen to Russ Knight on my old Zenith radio when he was at KILT in Houston. Remember his jingle. I'd sing it but no one can hear me. Probably good. The Zenith was the size of a loaf of bread. What a great dial radio back in the day.

DAVID PERKINS (Fort Worth, TX) Subject: WBAP-FM. Hey Jimbo and Lacy (good girl...now tell your master to take you to see "UP.") Re: KMPZ-FM going to WBAP-FM. Oh great! Now my old country gold WBAP will sound twice as stupid. And while I'm riling up some folks, Charles George wrote a few weeks back about "Dallas" radio stations which included KBUY, KCUL and KNOK. To my knowledge those stations were NEVER in Dallas. They were in Fort Worth, an entirely different (and much better) city to the West of Dallas by 33 smiles.

TRIVIA ANSWER: Elton John's name is from Bluesology saxophonist Elton Dean and his last name from bluesman, Long John Baldry.

DAN MCCURDY (Sherman-Denison, Texas) Jimbo, you write <<As Bob Dylan states, The times they are a changin'. JRRR predicts that this is a sign of more drastic changes on the FM dial as music radio becomes like dust in the wind.>> Sadly, YES...UNLESS folks with Real Radio chops concentrate on LOCALLY SERVING their cities-of-license with locally popular tunes, local information and LIVE local on-air entertainment. WHAT DOES THIS MEAN, DANO? It means returning to the days when RADIO WAS REAL, when radio was responsive to local folks' wishes...played local folks' favorite music (nationally popular, too, but more emphasis on LOCAL MUSIC SALES) and provided information and stories which have genuine local interest, angles and focus; contests which offer local payoffs for local participation. And LIVE local news and weather. Sound like the 1960s? Yes it does. It was the McLendon formula, (1) B-funny, (2) B-informative or (3) B-quiet (and play music). This is the ONE audience-building area in which the non-terrestrial sky-casters simply cannot compete. They are welded to the concept of BROAD-brush programming, generalities with NO local emphasis. Local TOWN-casters have no such restraints and are free to customize, literally tailor-make their station's sound, format and content to custom-fit the area in which they are broadcasting. REBORN LOCAL RADIO CAN generate listenership numbers that cannot be delivered by sky-casters...EVER! Here's Hoping it Happens (again)!

NFL HALL OF FAME MOVIE ACTOR DIES Hall of Fame defensive lineman and member of the Los Angeles Rams' Fearsome Foursome, Merlin Olsen, dies at 69 after a battle with cancer early Thursday, March 11, 2011 near The City of Angels. In 2009 he receives a diagnosis of mesothelioma which is a cancer of the lung lining. In 1962, Olsen is an All-American at Utah State and a first-round draft pick of the Los Angeles Rams. He joins Deacon Jones, Lamar Lundy and Rosey Grier on the Rams' famous Fearsome Foursome. Merlin follows NFL with a successful TV career in Little House on the Prairie, NFL broadcasts and commercials. Roger Goodell, NFL commissioner, issues a statement that lauds Olsen as an extraordinary person, friend and football player. He cared deeply about people, especially those that shared the game of football with him. Merlin was a larger-than-life person, literally and figuratively, and leaves an enormously positive legacy. In 1973 Merlin Olsen is NFC defensive lineman of the year. In 1974 he is the NFL MVP. In 1982 he joins the Pro Football Hall of Fame.

WBAP GOES FM AGAIN The words of Andre Crouch, Soon and very soon, are very apropos today as Citadel puts the WBAP call letters back on the FM dial. At noon Friday, March 12, 2010 KMPZ FM flips its Soft Oldies lid with an hour of Country programming under the Texas Twister banner that it previously uses. Ahead of its coming soon format change, throughout the weekend KMPZ FM stunts as Reagan Radio 96.7 with a focus on speeches from America's former President Ronald Reagan. Then on Monday, March 15th Soft Oldies KPMZ FM (Platinum 96.7) Dallas, TX begins to simulcast the powerful 50,000-watt clear channel NewsTalk WBAP-820. This is probably because Arbitron’s January 2010 PPM ranks KMPZ FM with a low a 2.0 share. KPMZ FM emerges as WBAP FM with its new NewsTalk rebroadcast of sister station WBAP-820. Citadel says that it hopes to attract listeners who never listen to AM radio. Due to the influx of XM Sirius satellite radio and its wide array of music, terrestrial FM radio begins to ditch its music programming for News and Sport Talk. This is a reminder of when FM radio begins to dominate AM radio in the mid 1970s. Remember? To better compete, AM radio dismisses its music for News and Sports Talk. As Bob Dylan states, The times they are a changin'. JRRR predicts that this is a sign of more drastic changes on the FM dial as music radio becomes like dust in the wind.

JOAN PATE-DAY (Cedar Creek Lake, TX) Subject: news. On this snowy day, cold outside but cozy inside, I enjoyed your email from Mike Simpson. It makes me feel proud my brother (Sam Pate) was a swell guy like Mike reminds me Sam has not been forgotten. Knowing Sam, I am sure he remembered you Mike. And having ridden with him in the mobile, I bet you held on real tight to the dash board when he made those u-turns to get that story. Sam's grandson Mack, about 10 years I guess, made the front page cover of a Dallas magazine. On the last anniversary of Kennedy's death, his mom took him downtown to the Memorial. Every time the guide would start to tell the events of that day, Mack would correct him and say "here's how it really happened." A reporter noticing Mack asked where he got the information. "My grandpa told me"

TRIVIA ANSWER: Elvis Presley plus thirty other artists turn down Bye Bye Love but The Everly Brothers' version in summer 1957 rises to #2 and remains on Billboard for 22 weeks.

1970S ROCK MUSICIAN PERISHES Los Angeles, CA session musician brothers Lolly and Pat Vasquez also appear on TV's popular music show Shindig. The brothers change their last name to Vegas. In 1968, Lolly and Pat form the Swamp Rock group Redbone which is a slang term that means Cajun or a person of mixed race. The members of Redbone are part Native American. Jimi Hendrix who also is part Native American is the one who urges the brothers to form Redbone. Members of the group include Pat Vegas (lead vocals, bass), Lolly Vegas (lead vocals, guitar), Peter DePoe (drums) and Tony Bellamy (guitar). Lolly writes the song Come and Get Your Love which rises to #5 on Billboard's Hot 100 in April 1974. Their only other tune to hit the Top 40 is The Witch Queen of New Orleans which peaks at #21 around Christmas 1971. Lolly suffers from bad health since he has a stroke 15 years ago. Lolly Vegas passes away at 70 in his sleep from lung cancer in Reseda, CA on Thursday, March 4, 2010.

OK CITY RADIO DOES THE SHUFFLE At 2:00pm Monday, March 8, 2010 Tyler Media moves Country KKNG FM (King Country 93.3) Oklahoma City, OK to 97.3 which is the former home of KOJK FM (Jack FM). This shift slips King Country from a Class C 100kw signal to the weaker Class A 1kw rim shot. All KKNG FM air personalities exit the building as well as morning hosts Bill Thomas and K.C. Shepherd. KKNG FM also removes all currents and recurrents from its play list and flips to Classic Country. Last week, Tyler Media registers the new Web sites 933TimFM.com and TimFM933.com. Some of us question the Tim FM name tag for Oklahoma City because of the possible confusion with Timothy McVeigh's 1995 bombing of the government building.

PAT MCGOWAN (Chandler, AZ) Hey again Jim, We have LOTS in common, here's some background for you. I am Univ of Houston grad, Radio-TV '67-'71. Very active in KUHF with Robb Ritchey from San Antonio and Milt Dooley (still at KPRC Ch 2). Robb's mentor was George Lester, worked for him at KBER. I first met GL when I went to SA with Robb for the weekend in spring '68. I remember visiting the on air control rooms of KBUC and KTSA. Pretty big stuff for an 18/19 year old kid. Fast forward to fall '70. I had finished a summer relief tour at WGN Ch 9 Chicago. Robb was Ops Mgr/PD? at KENR, still a daytimer, in the Dow Center. Charlie Temple was GM, Jim Rankin mornings, Jackie Ward PM drive. I became Robb's Sunday morning guy and put together a Gospel music show in and around the taped PSA shows. Actually started to get request postcards which freaked out Charlie (maybe we can sell this) <You can't sell this, it's Public Service time> (Any way around that?) <NO> Later while working at Ch 13 or Ch 26 moved to the new Fairfax subdivision in Spring. George and then wife (Kathy?) were neighbors. We'd walk the kids in strollers together. He was at KIKK then. I moved back to Chicago in '74, lost touch with him. Googled and reestablished contact in '06. Have heard from him every so often. Then the email address bounced, just as you have experienced. I have some old KENR stuff and pics, (including the horse trailer remote studio). If I can find them I'll pass along to you. And yes, add me to your list. I run high end network television mobile units. Should Houston appear on the schedule (you never know), let's get together for some Goode Bros BBQ! Pat

GEORGE LESTER (Palestine-Elkhart, TX) Subject: Short radio story. Jim, This is about as short as I can get it and still make sense. I hope it will work. George When I was working at KRGV in Weslaco in the late 50s a story making the rounds was about one of the Spanish speaking announcers at the radio station in Harlingen. His name was Martin. (pronounced Mar-teen). He spoke with perfect diction in a rich baritone. It was almost like music. He was a genuine folk hero on both sides of the border. When he got off work he often headed for Matamoras, Mexico just south of Brownsville, Texas. There he would meet with friends for a night on the town. One evening, when they all were feeling no pain, Martin invited them to come to the radio station so he could show them around. One of his rather inebriated friends climbed the radio tower. He slipped and fell to his death. They decided to place the deceased in the trunk of the car and quietly slip him back into Mexico. When they stopped at the border the officials noticed their nervousness. They were at a loss explaining the dead body in the trunk. It was probably only because of Martin's great popularity that he didn't end up in jail. The whole thing eventually died down and Martin continued his radio show as if nothing had ever happened.

MAJOR TV NETWORK CLOSES BUREAU OFFICES The San Francisco Business Times reports on Tuesday, March 2, 2010 that ABC News shuts down all of its news offices in U.S. cities except for Washington, D.C.

David Westin, ABC News President, says that the number of network bureau correspondents are cut from several dozen to half of that amount. David says that sometimes freelance crews might cover breaking stories. Reports indicate that ABC plans to use digital journalists to shoot and edit their own footage for stories.

I have a long and sundry association with radio – started out as a DJ in West Virginia – ended up in TV in Richmond, VA and radio at WRVA – then to CBS Network in the early 90s – and then back to radio at WTOP news in Washington, DC. I’ve spent the last several years in PR – worked for the DC Fire Department for almost nine years – and recently started at UDC as VP - radio is a love affair that won’t end, it seems. But – I came across your website many months ago – see it occasionally and really enjoy reading it – when I went about trying to find those old 7-Eleven spots – I figured you’d be the guy who would know where they were. I had them on a cassette tape 25 years ago – and played them for years. Really appreciate your help – and I look forward to hearing from Dan. All the best!

BLAKE FARENTHOLD (Corpus Christi, TX) Subject: http://news.jimroseremembersradio.com/. RADIO HOST RUNS FOR TX HOUSE Blake Farenthold, morning talk host on Clear Channel KKTX-1360 (ex KRYS) Corpus Christi, TX is one of two finalists in a four-Republican primary who run against incumbent Solomon Ortiz (D-TX) to represent the Corpus Christi area in the US House. To be a candidate in the race Blake resigns from KKTX. This gesture may be only symbolic. It appears that the seat is safely in the hands of the Democrats because they send Ortiz to Washington, D.C. continually since he first wins the seat in 1982.' Come on...Scott Brown took the Kennedy seat. Republicans got 40% last time against Ortiz before the tea party movement and the outrage over Obamacare. Plus the last candidate was way under-funded...basically paying for his own campaign. I’m conservative, well funded, articulate and a long time radio guy. Give me some love. My first gig in radio as a weekender was on KRYS in ’76.

TONY LAWRENCE (DFW-Arlington, TX) Giles (Giles Edward Miller, SR.) had just sold KPCN to a group of lawyers, Gump, Feld, Strauss and Kelly and TX. Lieutenant Gov. Ben Barnes. Irene Runnels had left KBOX and was manager of KKDA... Few probably remember the reason for the call letters was K-DAY "The Sunny Sound". I recall the avid country listeners threatened us daily to bring back KPCN. Those 500 watts went quite a ways but the format was doomed from the beginning. I only knew Giles in passing. Dale Edward (Payne-Jimmy Rabbitt) and Bill (Young) had just left KDOK for KILT when I arrived. The PD who hired me in Tyler was Dana Adams Jr. who left me the PD a few months later. Dana Sr. was GM and Hugh Neel was Sales Mgr. There are a lot of stories and history there also. I left Tyler for KPCN (KKDA) and later to WFAA 570/820, WRR and KRLD. WFAA Radio/TV were memorable days for me and you're right they didn't break the bank on payroll. I love your stories and the ones in JRRR bring back a lot of memories. Looking back we owned the world and were too young and reckless (as least I was) to realize it. Working 820 in the days of REAL clear channels and getting nightly calls from the Panama canal Zone should have been an eye opener.

KPCN-730 is one of if not the favorite radio station in my long broadcast resume list since early 1965 that includes Dallas, San Antonio, Ft. Worth, Austin, Waco, Temple, Terrell and finally Houston for over 30 years. In 1967 the KPCN studios are at the transmitter site in Grand Prairie right between Dallas and Ft. Worth. We sit out there in that truly grand prairie all alone in a cow pasture where we see miles and miles of Texas. KPCN's 500 watts completely cover central and north TX like a blanket because of its low position on the AM dial. One day as I enter the building to do my noon-3 pm show there is a young couple with a new born baby who wait for my arrival. These fine folks travel all the way from Oklahoma to meet and get my autograph. This completely overwhelms me because it's the first time that anyone ever asks for my autograph. What are they going to do with that piece of paper? KPNC has a grand array of famous DJs: Bill Mack, Groovy Joe Poovey, me and Randy Ryder. We have so much fun out there and listeners love us like we are members their family. KPCN is real radio. Many stories about my short time at KPCN. In 1967 I leave KPCN to go on the air at WFAA-820/570 Communications Center for the Great Southwest in Dallas. Each night from 7 pm-midnight that 50,000 watts of power on WFAA-820's clear channel sends my voice all across Texas and America. Receive phone calls and letters from as far north as Alaska all the way down south to an island in the Caribbean Sea. Boy do I have grrreat (as Tony the tiger says) stories about my time on WFAA and KPCN. When I leave WFAA in August 1968 to head south to the Alamo City to program KBUC FM-AM my good friend and fellow Elkins Institute of Radio classmate (1964) Rex Russell (Boehme) is my replacement. Sad to say that Rex passes away at 65 at home in Orange, TX on Wednesday, February 25, 2009.

TRIVIA ANSWER: After the Young Rascals' Good Lovin' becomes #1 in Billboard organist Felix Cavaliere admits, We weren't too pleased with our performance. It was a shock to us when it went to the top of the charts.

GEORGE LESTER (Palestine-Elkhart, TX) I'll try to think of some (stories). I hope I can come up with some that are reasonably interesting.

JRRR's Friday, March 12, 2010 Issue #789 has a very interesting radio story from George Lester that you do not want to miss. Tell your friends to tune in.

VICTOR HUGO (February 26, 1802-May 22, 1885) Winter is on my head, but eternal spring is in my heart.

ALL THE NEWS THAT IS NEWS

CHINESE RECEIVE A PIG IN A POKE China Radio International (CRI), which is run by the Chinese government, leases KGBC-1540 in Galveston, TX with hopes of sending its broadcasts to the Houston market to become the first U.S. radio station to broadcast CRI programming 24 hours a day. Much to the surprise of the KGBC staff it begins to broadcast CRI programs on New Year's Eve 2009. The FCC officially lists KGBC as a Galveston-Houston radio station but in reality its signal does not cover the Houston market. Before he resigns on February 12th over a policy dispute after five months at the network Mark Shorey, a consultant at CRI headquarters in Beijing with 20 years of experience in radio, says It was the dumbest thing they could have ever done. CRI believes that they are broadcasting in Houston and continue to announce this fact on the air and on their Web site. Glenn Richards, former KGBC morning show producer, says that the radio station's signal is strong as far as the 610 Loop but the signal fades en route. George Lee, whose Electric Theater Radio Hour they remove to make room for CRI, says that if a listener drives from Galveston toward Houston, the signal usually begins to fade near Santa Fe: It's a small market station, and it was never intended from the day it was built to broadcast to Houston. Gabriel Arango, President of Siga Broadcasting Corporation says in a January 6th interview that he signs a letter of intent for a five-year lease with a well-known California broadcaster. In 2002, when he buys KGBC he upgrades its broadcast power from 1,000 watts to 2,500 watts.

JOYCE WEBSTER [J.C.] (Mena, AR) Dear Jim, I read Mike Shannon's response to there being no broadcast museum in Dallas in today's issue, Friday, February 26. There should be. I was excited to hear many years ago from Ken Carter that there was. At KIXL's location on South Akard which I believe was owned by Hymen Chiles at the time we moved into the building was a huge old record collection going back at least as far as the big band era, and it remained under lock and key while we were in the building. Initially there was other equipment, but it was moved during our move into the building or shortly thereafter. I particularly recall equipment that played the very large wax records, and I enjoyed the walk through history by our Group Engineer during the move. All of us felt so blessed that we had parking behind the building. Even though that building was old, it had some wonderful features which included a huge production studio, and the building was convenient to everything downtown. I'm sorry to say I don't know very much about the history of KIXL but I'm sure it would be fascinating. Mike probably knows much more than I. Hymen or perhaps Ken Dowe would know more about the contents of the old building. J.C.

ALAN ETTER (Washington, DC) Subject: Jim...I’ve been searching for audio clips of the old 7-Eleven radio spots – from the 70s and 80s – they were hysterical and among the best ever – ‘Oh Thank Heaven for 7-Eleven’ was the theme – can you help me out? Thanks! Alan Etter; Vice President; University Relations & Public Affairs; University System of the District of Columbia; Washington, DC (www.udc.edu)

DAN MCCURDY (Sherman-Denison, TX) Subject: 7-Eleven commercials... Alan (forgive the familiarity, but I assume that anybody who loved our 7-Eleven spots is a friend). I was in 'The Gang of Five' that developed the 'Oh Thank Heaven for 7-Eleven' slogan in 1967, as a member of The Stanford Agency, the in-house ad group for The Southland Corporation (7-Eleven). We had a reprehensible amount of fun, almost shameful to accept a paycheck kinda existence at the agency, with a group of writers (including our boss, Bob Stanford) that had more sheer, raw creative talent than I've ever been surrounded by in my life (I stayed in a state of awe from '67 to '81, when I made the jump to Southland's public relations department. Not as much fun, but absolutely necessary experience for my future position with another c-store company. I have a number of our oldies-but-goodies in MP3 format...how many MBs can your server handle in one swallow? Best...Dan McCurdy

TONY LAWRENCE (DFW-Arlington, TX) Hello Jim, As you can see you were one step ahead of me more than once: KPLT Paris, Texas 1961-1967 (I was in school and couldn't get away); KDOK Tyler/1967-1968; KLTV-CH7 Tyler/same time as KDOK (we had to stay busy); KKDA Grand Prairie 1968 (Part of the switch from KPCN); WFAA (820/570) Dallas/1969-1973 (On air during the last switch April 30, 1970) Met and worked with (Bud) Buschardt, one of the most decent people I have known; WFAA-CH8 Dallas (booth announcer) same time as radio; WRR-1973 (took over from Jim Lowe/left due to format change...what else is new?); KRLD 1973-1976; KPBC 1976-1979; TSN 1979-1991 (TSN moved from Fort Worth to Dallas); 1991 Back to Paris to buy into KPLT (big mistake, you can't go back!) and KPLX/KLIF 1992-1996 (was part time during my 11 years at TSN). There are those who would say we moved around a lot but those were the days when you could change stations with a phone call.

MIKE SHANNON (Dallas-Mesquite, TX) Subject: Jim Rose Remembers Radio. Hi again Jim and Lacy! As for Charles George, he mentioned the old KIXL tower on Military Pkwy behind Hancock's. I went on a hunting expedition of sorts a few months back, just to see that tower and who it belonged to. Nowadays, it's all fenced off, although a little-used concrete bridge just beyond the fence links you to the tower site. I tried to reach the site from each side, but it's pretty well protected today. (I even had the traffic chopper fly me over it one day just to survey!) The tower is still standing, and, per the FCC, still belongs to 1040AM, but that's now KGGR using the former KIXL frequency. KSKY's towers on Bruton are supposedly no longer in use, but they are still lit at night, and the property looks much the same as it did when I lived just down the street from there nearly 40 years ago! Thanks and take care...Mike Shannon, Dallas, TX

TRIVIA ANSWER: John Lennon includes The Lovin' Spoonful's Daydream and Do You Believe In Magic? inside his personal jukebox.
