950 AM Lubbock to celebrate 60th Birthday, Wednesday November 1st.

G

Garrett

They will have a BIG celebration starting with the morning show on Wednesday, with former personalities and classic jingles from their KSEL days. It is going to be great, get those tapes rolling!!!
 
Saw your add that said who was going to join in. If you are going to do a station reunion, you should invite everybody who is still around, including
Paul Beane, Jane Prince Jones, Rick Gilbert, Mike Deardorf (sp).. and the list goes on. Small time at the very least.
 
I say have everyone who's been successful after leaving 950 call in. That would take most of the day.
 
I don't know what it sounded like but I really had fun being a part of Lubbock radio history !

We may never have that opportunity ever again to get those that we had on FOX TALK 950 yesterday, together again.

The Dee's, MacCallister's (sp) Coleman's, King's and I know there are many, many more, were
real radio talents back when you had to have real talent to be in radio.

I will always have a respect and appreciation for those from those days.

And how I wish radio would somehow cycle back around to the standards of those days.

Thank you so much to Garrett for that jingle package, it really helped make a difference.

And to "blaster69", I don't know if you have ever tried putting together a reunion show like we did but

it is pretty challenging.

First, it's hard to track down a lot of the former air talent to even get them on the show.

Second, why would we bring in Paul Beane or Jane Prince ? They work on competing stations.

While I agree, there are many more we could've have brought in that made a mark with 950AM over the years,

I did'nt want to dilute the show with so many different people as there are time constraints even in talk radio.

I felt we had on the show the core of the old 950 AM days and the 6 decades were represented well !

Thank you,

Brian Davis
 
I think it's great that 950 took the time to showcase a period of radio history that is gone with the call letters.. I too woke up with the T.T.O. show, and to this day still influences the way things are done in some ways. Didn't want to come off as critical, I just know there are folks who would have liked to be involved whether competing or not. Maybe next year. Good job.

You're Welcome, it sounded Great, I'm glad I could help!
 
I didn't get an invite, but I would have loved to have just been there to hear (& see) so many greats from KSEL days. My radio career began just north of my hometown Lubbock in Abernathy 42 years ago this month and I couldn't believe it when I joined KSEL just a couple of months later, less than a year after graduating from Monterey. So much of what I have done and not done in broadcasting was learned in the two years I spent there working for the McAlisters.

From Bill & Mac & Lou & Paul Beane, Wes Youngblood, Misty, Daddy Dee & so many pther greats I worked with. And before that I listened to Gene Price & Jerry Coleman & Bill (really Dave) Tucker, on and on the hits just kept coming. I have been lucky to have worked with some great talents over the years, but there were no better people than those who sat behind the mic at KSEL. It was a great family to be a part of and I still miss it!

If there are clips available, please let me know, I'd love to get a copy.
 
Did anyone record any of the broadcasts? I'd like to hear some.
Hey Glenn, I went to elementary school in Abernathy back in the
late 60s before my parents moved me to Missouri.
 
I managed to grab the 2nd and 3rd hours of that show for those interested.

Send me an e-mail if you want copies !
