Audio – On the Vic McCarty Show this Morning

Vic McCarty is a good friend of mine.  One of the best and funniest guys you’ll ever meet (if you ever meet him).  We used to work together at KBIM-TV in Roswell, NM.  I was directing the news back then and he was the Sports Director.  Eventually I became the Weather Anchor and I helped sports shooting football and directing the Vic & Van Show in between.  Vic and I were also part of the (almost) unstoppable media team at the annual Gus Macker 3-on-3 Basketball Tournament.

Vic moved on to Traverse City, Michigan and I am now in Tucson.  Thanx to Facebook and the internets we have kept in touch.  He invited me to be on his radio show this morning.  It was my 3rd appearance and always fun.

This morning we talked about the storm that blew through Tucson that is heading for Traverse City.  Here is the audio of the 6 1/2 minute interview:

Blue Shadows

This song reminds me of my first TV job.  I think it was 1986 or 1987.  One of those.  I was hired at KOBR-TV in Roswell, NM as a Master Control Operator.  I started in 1986 after working two years in radio at KBIM-TV.  Anyway, I would switch the evening shift which included Johnny Carson and Late Night with David Letterman.  I would record musical acts and comedians that came on the shows.  Somewhere (maybe) I have an old VHS tape with Bill Mahr’s first appearance on Carson.  Also pre Seinfeld Show Seinfeld on Letterman.  On Friday nights we aired music videos.  I’m blanking on the name of the show, but I remember a lot of Bartles and Jaymes commercials!  and, this video.  I never saw Three Amigos, but I liked this.  Still do.

Update: I Googled it. It was Friday Night Videos. Duh!
