Who would staff your all-star OKC / Tulsa dream station?

Scooter: Good to make your acquaintance again! Last time we spoke I was MC'ing a charity event involving raffling off a bunch of bachelors...and you brought the house down walking the runway in tuxedo top and boxer shorts. Sorry you couldn't match page 602 of Sears, but you did great! I was also under orders to include the word "Pinky" as a nickname for one of the bachelors who apparently was less than massive in one aspect of frontal male appearance. Can't remember the jock's name!!

Coop, hope it wasn't yours truly who was called "Pinky;" alas, probably fit, so to speak. I remember that night all too well. Came out there with those "boogie boxer shorts" from my back-in-Tulsa newspaper ad. Had 'em on over my tux pants. About halfway down the runway the first time, the light bulb went on: should've had 'em under the tux...then peeled out of those long pants, to showcase the boxers. Thing I remember most: after completing it, when everyone else was going out for drinks, I was so zapped I just straggled home, put the tux back on its carry hanger, and started to go to bed, feeling like it had to be 3:30 or 4AM. Tain't so, McGee, said my bedside Seth Thomas -- it's only 10:45. Thank God, I was such a dud at getting any auction bucks, they never asked me again. :D
 
You and "yours" may rest assured you were NOT Pinky! That name will come to me one day soon...but I'll likely not publish it here!
 
Guess that's a relief, for what "little" difference it makes at this stage of things.

More names for the staff: can't believe nobody's mentioned Danny (Croskery) Dark or Beau Weaver. Probably because they were snapped up from Tulsa and moved to LA, Cleveland, Dallas, and other majors so fast. Also, for the "not top-40" krewe: John Doremus, Joe Knight,
and Walt Teese (SP?).

Zoot-
Man, you are really bringing back the names. There was also a Tommy Knight as I recall who left for KFRC. Hell, the perfect station is the heyday lineup of the Rockin' 97. You and the rest. Wish I could've been part of that wonderful lineup, I just hadn't reached the performance level yet. But man I do remember all of you guys. You were the greatest!

O'Shea
 
OK., O'Shea...weren't in that Bachelor Auction raffle? It can now be revealed..."Bobbitt" O'Shea, aka PINKY!!

No. Just joshin'. And isn't the gun being jumped...heard Jim on mornings and Ace after noon on Big Country yesterday.

SCOOT: I wasn't here during your first run...friend can't remember what station you were on....
(some things about Arbitron never change!)

BLASPHEMY!!!!!! The GREAT Scooter B was on the Rockin' 97 KAKC!!!!!! Coop, drop and give me 500 hail Marys. I will pray for your dark soul. I wail for your spritual future. I will personally force feed you raw chicken. Oh the HORROR, the HORROR!

Have a nice day,
Bob O'Shea
 
Coop and Osh, as they say in the NBA Coyote League, No farm, no howl. There were many daze in there, when I couldn't remember what station I was on. (And that was before I could hide my own easter eggs.)
 
...Was that the station you were on before you were on Magic 99?

[/ducks for cover]

;D
 
Can you give me a multiple-choice shot, please? That's the closest I'd come to having a prayer of giving an answer. ;)
 
Durkee's correct...we were legends in our own minds...but boy did we do a bunch of creative shit...just ask us.
Also, Scoot remember English Wallbangers on Saturday afternoons, then you on 7-12? Some of your most "inspired" work. And yes, those Holland Hall gigs were truly "cosmic."
Durk, I agree with most of your analysis, but I'd add "Chuck the sports guy" to the morning mix as well. And what ever happened to Bob Hendrix KAKC "20-20 news?" or Captain Fantasssssssttttttiiiicccc? And don't forget Bob Losure...KAKC to CKLW then Headline News. Not too shabby.
Sidebar: Scoot where the @#$% are you these days?
Sidebar 2: Coop I always thought you were the one who wanted to see Durkee "nekid."
Sidebar 3: Full disclosure...Durkee stood me up for lunch Wednesday...2 weeks on the job and it's already spiraling out of control for him...and I was going to buy!
 
Good grief, O'Shea!! Just write the definitive book on Tulsa Radio and newbies like me (in 81) would come to town and KNOW whose big shoes (or small shorts, in Pinky's case) , and under which tower's bed they were parked, we had to fill.

And why do you want me to honor your wife 50 times? That's YOUR job...

Been a hot day...forgive the rambling and irreverence.
 
Graciousness, Morn' Mout' -- if you think KAKC's 7P-Midnite (in that freakin' dungeon AM/FM studio) after English Wangballers was bad...run down Atlantic pro'meister Kim "Toad" Stevens, and ax him 'bout a Saturday when I saluted Arkansas's kickoff runback against Houston by breaking open my Jose Cuervo...then did another empty-stomach shot to recover from the next-play interception/TD-return ... and just kept on from there -- only to be called and reminded I was supposed to do the midday shift, instead of my regular late-afternoon gig. Only thing that kept me out of the deep caca was--that was in New Orleans! If Toad's childbride, Alicia, hadn't kept him at home the night before, he wouldn't have been the only meauxpheaux in the city to notice how Scoot-faced I was.
((And ya wondah why I hated to leave da Crescent City and return to freakin reality.))

Ye Gads, Coop!!! I detect the wrath of age and the onset of senility in your screed. I dare say I can't remember you being so terse. If I could write the definitive book on Tulsa radio, you would rate right at the top with just a few other names, with the biggest shoes to fill. And by the way, old man, that was 500 Hail Marys. My wife's name is spelled differently.
Hope everybody has a great weekend. Coop, you are going to have to buy me lunch soon.

O'Shea
 
Bob-O, consider that lunch date a GO...we'll go with Morningmouth and Durkee...and the Mayor's Office will pick up the tab....

Senility is a terrible thing...but I've enjoyed chatting with you...did all these guys work in radio or something? They write like they have...
