June 14th: As the city of Tulsa, Oklahoma is consumed this weekend, June 15-17, 2007, with nostalgia fever over the digging up of time capsule containing a 1957 Plymouth chocked full of items from 1957, we take a trip back in time to the the '50s and '60s with a program full of the music and sounds of the time. Our nostalgic look back is built around an interview we did with Mike Miller, who now lives in Houston, but was at one time the TV news anchor on each of the network affiliates in Tulsa.

June 14th: Mike Miller is a unique guy. Son of a tap dancer and talent agent, reared in Tulsa, Miller did what most people did with show business in their blood, they got into radio. A child of the 60s in many ways, Miller talked with Jerry about his days as a disc jockey in Tulsa with some great stories about other jocks and music acts and lots of good music is featured along the way as well. This is the first of two programs with Miller, the other one will involve his later life as a political consultant and mover and shaker in the Republican Party. This hour deals with Miller's stories of his TV news adventures, including Tulsa newsroom personnel who shot porno movies with station equipment. One such film even came to the attention of the Tulsa Police Vice Squad.

Coming Soon: John Wooley is a paranormal fiction writer with a weakness for the occult and the pulp treatment of his stories. Yet, they all read with flair and interest from beginning to end. Wooley worked for years as an entertainment writer and critic for the major Tulsa daily newspaper, The Tulsa World. Wooley is also a fan of western swing, and he knows quite a lot about other big band genres as well. He hosts his weekly program on public radio in Tulsa, KWGS-FM, and this fun filled hour of trivia, rare western swing tunes and big band music is a great way to understand how this "art form" reached out of Tulsa and is now heard around the world.

May 26th, 2005: Jerry salutes two home grown entertainers from Checotah, Oklahoma, the newest star on the music horizon: Carrie Underwood, winner of the American Idol TV show and country music star, Merle Haggard. Carrie Underwood became the American Idol for 2005 in a year that had a talent filled lineup. Carrie joins a tremendous array of talent, past and present, from Oklahoma. Other Oklahoma singers include Gene Autry, Garth Brooks, Kix Brooks, Merle Haggard, Vince Gill, Reba McEntire, Bob Wills, Roy Clark, Toby Keith, and on and on and on. These are singers only in the country venue where Carrie is expected to become a huge star. Carrie, with her angelic attitude and appearance, captured the hearts of country folk and city slickers alike. She will do Oklahoma proud.
