45 years ago...today!


 

"My life changed forever 45 years ago today. Jim Dick decided he wanted me to do middays at WIVK. Did that for 20 years and we were fortunate to have the #1 radio station in the USA...all formats! It was a wild ride. Worked with legends like Claude Tomlinson, Ed Brantley, Bobby Denton, Jimmy Vineyard and many more! And met a lot of people" (Bob Thomas)

fotos are...me and Bob a few years back in Florida, and my journal entry from that day in 1980- Mickey Gilley had the #1 song at WIVK, and I DJ's that night at Sam Houston's, we had The Steppe Brothers on stage that evening.

And the rest is simply...a blink in the eye!

Congrats Bob!

PS- Bob is still on the air, filling in regularly at WIVK sister station NewsTalk WOKI.
