Houston market, Ted Carson was the most interesting. I really liked the guy.
Catfish was nice. Barry Kaye. I have not thought about these names in so long.
I wonder where they all went. I would not trade the experience for anything, but
I sure would not go back on the air either. It was a wild ride through the '70s and
'80s. Thank God I made through in one piece."
