Rene,

It will be good to have you back in T-Town, even if just for a while.  Good luck with "Bloodline."  A movie theme right up my alley.

Scooter B and others lurk around here, I'm sure you will hear from them.

I remember Kitty Roberts calling herself "Kitty Roberts, Girl Reporter."  The San Antonio programmers didn't like that and squelched it.  Go figure.

Rene, I never knew your real name, thought it was Kathy Chronister -- which is why I re-glossed you "Cookie Cannister."  Sounds like good stuff happening in your life.  But be careful back in the 9-1-8.  That movie sounds like something sure to bring out the pitchforks and gasoline crowd.    Scoot.

I live in Los Angeles now... as I have since shortly after leaving KAKC. I work in TV and film now and am returning to Tulsa this week with my first theatrical release, a controversial documentary called 'Bloodline' which investigates the idea of a marriage between Jesus and Mary Magdalene and a secret society called the Priory of Sion. It will be showing at the Circle Cinema Sunday evening (August 16), and I'll be there to chat and answer questions after the show.

I'm hoping to run into some of my old radio buddies and anyone I knew 'back in the day' and also look forward to making some new friends in Tulsa as well. Take care! René Barnett

You ought to look up Beau Weaver, who now lives in the LA area.  He was at KAKC near or slightly before the time that you were there.

Jim Peters is also in LA, working with the band Spirit Alley.  He says Robert W Walker is also working with them, so guess Rob jets in from Miami.  They were both gone from KAKC before you were with us, but left such large footprints and memories, you surely still felt their presence.

Hey Scoot,

Just finished "Nuclear Jellyfish" by Dorsey.  Did ever find the Joan Hess Maggody, Ark. series?

Stan

[kudzooter]

Wow, Stan.  Saw that name on a list the other night, and wondered where it came from.  This time, I'll write it in ink and take it to the library.  Have you read any more Dorsey?  He'll laugh you right out of finishing a chapter and going back to sleep.  Try some Carl Hiassen, too.

[stacker]

Yep, read a lot of Hiassen.  My listeners recommended Dorsey, Hiassen and Hess.  Funny how they can pick up on your sense of humor.

Vegas has to get lucky soon....

BTW What was the circumstances that caused KAKC to flip to MOR in 1978?  That was a real shock at my High School in Bartlesville!

And also former KAKC jock Steve Suttle is doing afternoons for KRKE "Real Oldies 1600" in Albuquerque...good sounding station.

I don't have any new Tulsa radio news... maybe some nostalgia. I used to work at KAKC as a news reporter back in the mid 70s. Richard Dowdell was news director then, and I was known as "Kathy Chronister, KAKC Hotline News." I was on the air at the same time as Scooter Seagraves, Michael "Morning Mouth" McCarthy, Charlie Derek, Denver Fox, Gary "Ono" Stevens, Captain Fantastic, Johnny Rivers, and more. It was a hot time and the pretty much a last hoorah for AM music radio as FM was movin' in (KMOD was the 'cool' new FM station, and we all secrety listened to Kitty Roberts).

I live in Los Angeles now... as I have since shortly after leaving KAKC. I work in TV and film now and am returning to Tulsa this week with my first theatrical release, a controversial documentary called 'Bloodline' which investigates the idea of a marriage between Jesus and Mary Magdalene and a secret society called the Priory of Sion. It will be showing at the Circle Cinema Sunday evening (August 16), and I'll be there to chat and answer questions after the show.

Had the opportunity to see Rene, nee Kathy an the film's showing Sundaynight at the Circle Theater. It was great to catch up. She is doing very well. The film is fun and well made. Rene should be proud. Another
KAKC alum kickin' butt!
FYI the film speculates that Jesus & Mary Magdaline were married and that their "BloodLine" still exists. I'm not sure about that...but I really don't buy the  suggestion that Seagraves is JC's KID.

(Heavy, rolling echo) "You can't say that on the radio (or, on radio-info.com), Michael!!!!!" 

BTW, went to Seattle this past weekend to see some relatives, and hooked up with Laura (Dalesandro) Martin.  And brother Buzz was there, so we terrified a couple of islands in your name.  He says "hi."
