Today is Karen's Birthday!

I'll tell you what about Bobby Langham. If you ever need to know anything about anyone in Houston radio, Bobby's your guy. I look forward to his calls. We talk about everybody! I've gotten letters from him for decades, and I have my current one in a safe place in my locker at The Arrow. You are not truly hired until you get your letter.

Kevin, did you ever talk to the woman from Beaumont who used to call Barry (She LOVED him!!) and me at Oldies. I forgot her name, but she could talk for an hour and never finish a sentence. Her thought patterns would sometimes change a half a dozen times in thirty seconds. I had to put her on hold once so I could do a break, and when I got back she was still talking. Her MRI must look like a fireworks display! But you know what, a show would really be boring if we didn't get those kinds of calls.
 
Dave E. Crockett said:
I had to toss in my 2-cents about Joseph-- He would call everyday and ask, "What's 93Q giving away today?" After about a month I finally told him, "Your MOMMA!" Yes, I got called into the GM's office to get a much deserved butt chewing after he complained!
Click to expand...

Crockett, you should have forwarded his calls to the GM. He would have screamed, "YO MAMMA!" too after a month or two.
 
Col.... I know the one you're talking about but cannot think of her name, if she ever gave it. She could ramble for hours... Then again, after a few drinks, so could Barry Kaye!
 
i ;too; have experienced joesph and bobby langham......and the dude who has a thing about requests...and when u play them...he only gets worse...i think that's the "randy" that mr holstead is referring to. 'cept he/randy; constantly changes his name.......

there's also the "redneck"; that is obcessed w/teddy bear by red sovine....and u would play it once....and it would get out of control....the redneck would call, his wife would call, his sons would call, his girlfriend would call and the redneck's other wife would call.....and have to hear it; over and over and over.....
i guarantee.....you'd get a "vile" dose of "naughty words"; "if'n u didn't drop everythin' and play it agin and agin and agin....(of course i wouldn't.....duh!)(and avoided playin' it ever agin; less i had to)
"i do declare; they/the redneck and his kin; showed up at a remote w/a red sovine "teddy bear" cd for rowdy yates to bring to the station to air.....he (rowdy) was at a live remote broadcast at gallery furniture....and we were raising money for the "star of hope mission".....and mr redneck wanted us to stop the christmas tunes; right then and there.....and play him some "teddy bear"
the "redneck and his family i understand live in a trailer....down by the river....in egypt texas....(really! the colorado river); i's seens them...a hangin' 'bout "disco 2000"......i do not lie!

oddly enuff; my birthday is the same day as karen's....and every year; she remembers to call and wish me a happy birthday...even when i went from the jock arena to producer......
i always talk to karen.....just to see what she's gonna say next....
she loves it when i do character voices...
"oh dylan"
"you're a mess!"
"just checking in"

and then there's this one time;
tom fontaine was recently a proud new daddy of a new baby boy; logan......and dangerman was working on a friday nite;
karen called.....
"hello. 2 u.......
"hello karen....hello, to mom and hello to dad; hello 2 u...."
(he does this in rapid fire succession)

tom?'
"how's anna?"
"fine, karen"
"how's nick?"
"fine; karen"
"how's logan?"
"he's fine; too!; karen"

"tom?"

"is logan speaking spanish; yet?"
"No; karen; not yet..."


"ok; tom; i'll call u tomorrow...is it a date?"

"sorry karen; i'm off tomorrow nite."

(karen became flustered.....u could here papers rustleing about)

"no you're not; tom.......you're working tomorrow nite; rowdy said u were"

tom hesitated......."what?"

"you're working tomorrow nite; tom."


"ummmmmm; karen; i gotta go...."


tom called the apd.....and yes; he was on the schedule; and if karen hadn't called him; he wouldn't have shown up.


"word 2 your mee-maw; ya'll!

Kevin, I forgot about JC, wonder how Janis & Elvis are doing down in Alvin these days?
 
Steve Rixx needs to share all the pearls of wisdom that "Rainmaker" has blasted in his ear since he has worked at KILT. Pretty funny stuff.

And Barry is more fun w/a couple of Jack -n- Coke's in him. Then again, so am I.

All of this talk about Bobby's Dad's funeral reminds me of the time that a man called the switchboard at WBAP in Ft. Worth and requested that a bunch of personalities serve as pallbearers at his elderly Mom's funeral-and to be sure to wear their WBAP blazers and ascots. Many of them did including my old man. That's class.
 
Cathy. Her last name started with the letter "D". Said she was from Beaumont. Lived in Mont Belvieu.
About this was in the mid 80's. Actually showed up to at least one studio. Very sweet but moderately unhinged.
Anyone remember her...Barry?
