Trivial Matters
Sure-Fire Hiccup Cure
Monday, April 7th, 2008I have been meaning to share this for some time. I discovered a sure-fire hiccup cure when I was first working in radio. Imagine me alone in a small radio station on the graveyard shift with a case of the hiccups that is relentless. All I have as resources are the meager contents of the [...]
Back to the Grind and Updates
Monday, March 31st, 2008You may have noticed a lack of posts over the last week. Jeane and I were on our first vacation in about four years. We met some friends for a week in Branson, which I have not visited since I graduated ninth grade and went to see Ray Stevens with the Wyricks (Ray’s theater is [...]
Quick, Fast, Speedy Relief
Tuesday, January 8th, 2008I was reminded tonight how much we all need to laugh.
I’ve been in a little bit of a blue funk lately. I have had several high-stress projects due, and I am again fighting sinus crud. All that, combined with the current state of the political campaigns, can be a little disheartening.
Then, I was cleaning out [...]
Way Down Yonder
Saturday, January 13th, 2007Here’s a video of Johnny Cash singing “Oklahoma Hills” with Flip Wilson on Wilson’s show. I love Johnny. I love “Oklahoma Hills.” And, I can never hear “Oklahoma Hills” without remembering the old KVOO jingle. Do you remember?
Way down yonder in the Indian nation,
Tulsa’s favorite radio station,
K-V-O-O!

A Blast from the Past
Saturday, January 13th, 2007One of my favorite (though short-lived) TV shows was a spin-off of BJ & the Bear. I am writing, of course, of The Misadventures of Sheriff Lobo. I wish copies of this show were available.

Merle Haggard & the Texas Playboys
Tuesday, November 21st, 2006I have been a Bob Wills fan since my KITO days (KITO has sold, but it still features the salute to Bob Wills and the Texas Playboys every day at high noon).
I was searching youtube and I came across this great video of Merle Haggard and the Texas Playboys at the Grand Ole Opry. Dolly [...]
We’ve Come a Long Way
Tuesday, October 31st, 2006It’s been 66 years since this picture was taken. It’s from the Plateau school district near Welch, Oklahoma. The teacher is Ruby Metzen and among the students are two of my aunts and one deacon of Welch Baptist Church. This was a one-room school house out in the country. Things like TVs, cell phones, ipods, [...]
Is It Just Me?
Wednesday, September 13th, 2006Okay, I need some opinions. Is it just me or would the rest of you out in WynnBlogLand agree with my concern here?
I am in Tulsa this afternoon, driving on 244/412 East toward the I-44 merge, then on to the Will Rogers Turnpike to Claremore. As I am driving at approximately 5:45 PM (running late [...]
