Special Thank you Too
Clifford Smith-For giving me my first and only opportunity to play records on radio station KREK Bristow, for your support during the setup of the studio and for being a pal
Hugh Foley-A chance meeting at KVOO Radio in 2007, to listen to your story, becoming acquainted with you and your efforts on "Oklahoma Music Guide" was one of the catalysts, for me to pursue this Podcast Series Project
Dennis McAtee the best engineer at KVOO who let me look over his shoulder while he was doing the magic on Audio performances, on years of Shrine Circus commercials. Thanks for helping to make me sound decent.
To my Family and Friends who continually shown interest in this project while I waited for the right time
Billy Parker- I have admired you from our first meeting in 1959 at KFMJ, until today, you my friend were the very best Country Music D.J. on any Radio, anywhere. You are what every Radio Jock only dreams they could be like. You have been more of an inspiration to me than you'll ever know.
Will Parish, for the loan of his copy of Flip of a Coin, the story of Tommy Allsup;
