MEMORIES AND AN INTERVIEW WITH JERRY


Tulsa Today

The City of Tulsa was consumed, during the weekend of June 15-17, 2007, with nostalgia fever over the digging up of a 1957 Plymouth chocked full of items from 1957. Let's 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. Before going to TV, Miller worked for KTUL Radio there.

Mike has been a favorite guest of ours for many years, dating back to his political pundit days with us during the 2000 election. There are not much politics on this show, just lots of fun memories and great stories about Tulsa media personalities.
