JOE FORD [ex KLDE FM, KNUZ-1230, KILT-610] (Spring-Houston, TX)<\/strong>\u00a0Subject: Fats Domino. My dad had a great guy, whose name was Otis Evans. Otis worked for Pop and was the guy that introduced me to the wonderful world of the blues. I was 15 years old and was attempting to copy the licks of Jimmy Reed, Lightnin\u2019 Hopkins, BB KIng, etc. on my old Kay electric guitar. Otis took me under his wing and taught me things a little white boy would never be able to learn in the sheltered world I lived in. He said, \u201cI\u2019m gonna give you an education kid. Tonight I takin\u2019 you down to The Skylark to see Fats Domino.\u201d We walked into the Skylark Lounge in Corpus Christi, Texas, and my life changed forever. On stage was a small, good looking young man, a bit overweight, pounding a well used baby grand and blowing the roof off the place. It was the first time I\u2019d heard \u201cPlease Don\u2019t Leave Me\u201d- but not the last. Fats keyboard work mesmerized me and is still a rock n\u2019 roll standard. Over the years, he became a friend and we would sit and talk about his career. He would play a couple of bars of one of his many million sellers and make me guess the title! I loved his music so I always got it right because I was such a huge fan. I could go on and on about this kind man who epitomized the heart and soul of his native New Orleans but I\u2019ll just let his great catalogue of music speak for itself. RIP, Fat Man\u2026you deserve the time off. Joe Ford<\/em><\/p>\n

KAREN MASSEY [Duckie ex morning host on KITE-930, KXOL-1360, KBUC FM] (San Antonio, TX)<\/strong>\u00a0Subject: KXOL Ft. Worth. Jim: What year was MIKE SHANNON at KXOL. There were some real nice guys that I worked with and have lost all contact. I would love to reconnect just to say Hi. I remember, my partner (Casey Jones) and I would talk about a club in town that we called the Stomach Pump. It was a lovely club, we just called it that. We had one jock, as cute as a little button that was a wonderful singer, I don\u2019t remember his name. However, I would like to think he did something with his singing career. There was another chap with curly hair and again, I don\u2019t remember his name. Would you mind putting a call out for those that worked at KXOL during 1973 or 4 thou 1976 I believe those were the years. As always, thank you. Your Radio Remembrance brings back some wonderful thoughts, especially when I see some names that I recognize or think I recognize. Hay, this old age is for the birds. Duckie !

JAY WEAVER [KLBK\u20131360 Lubbock; KBUY\u20131540 Fort Worth; Several Other Places] (DFW-Hurst, TX)<\/strong>\u00a0In 1968, I worked at KPCN (730) for about one month. The details are that the manager at KBUY (1540), Roy Lemons fired me because he didn\u2019t think I was knowledgeable enough about Country Music. I had been playing Top 40 and had never played Country. It was the only time I was ever \u201cfired\u201d in my radio career. One month later, KBUY called me and wanted me to come back. The main reason was because they couldn\u2019t find anyone else who they were happy with, at least that\u2019s what Bo Powell told me at the time. Bo was the one who told Mr. Lemons he had better get me back because the regulars were not going to work weekends and fill in. They were having no luck finding anyone else they were happy with, so Lemons agreed to ask me to comeback. That\u2019s how I was told it happened. It ended up leading to a five year stint at KBUY.
