About Me:

I got started in broadcasting during my stint as a Signalman in the U.S. Navy during the Viet Nam era, working part-time as a DJ and newsman for a ship-board Armed Forces Radio & TV station on the USS Truckee out of Norfolk, Virginia.  After being honorably discharged in 1979, I became a mainstream radio DJ and News Director in the Corpus Christi area for over 25 years on 9 different stations, including all 3 of the country-western ones. During that time I received 4 news broadcasting awards, 1 from the Associated Press & 3 from United Press International. I spent the last 5 years of my “career” on KFTX in Corpus Christi, constantly fighting with the program director over having to play their narrow top-ten Nashville music playlist of songs, when I really wanted to play Texas Music. I was finally shown the door after I played a Christmas-time phone request for Robert Earl Keen’s “Merry Christmas From The Family”, which was definitely not on the station’s playlist, (I really hate that word!). Now that I’m on HossTheBoss I can play what I want. Listen to my own dang show on the station every Sunday night at 7 p.m. Central.

Note: I usually write a little blurb about all my picks each month, but since I’m spending September getting the new home for HossTheBoss.com ready, I’m even more behind schedule than usual. So I haven’t gotten around to the dang blurbs yet. While you’re waiting for me to have time to get to them, I’m guessing the links to what the bands have said about themselves will give you some good info, right?

1. Bandwith for HossTheBoss.com is not outrageously expensive, but it ain’t free. And this site is still far from profitable. So, if you’re going to download these interviews, just keep in mind that someone — namely me — is paying a little bit every time you do so. Donations appreciated (but never required). Click the support Hoss link at the top of every page of the site.

2. The interviews all include just a part of the song. We hate to do that, but, of course, since we never asked the bands for permission to make their songs available for free download, it’s the only right thing to do. If an interview gets your attention, and you want to hear a band’s song in its entirely again, well, you can listen to the station — the song will come up eventually, I’m sure — or you can buy the dang song and/or contact the band via links in Hoss’s Band Directory. The link is on the left.

3. We invite everyone in the Top 10 for an interview, but we aren’t always able to make connection with everybody. (In fact, it’s rare that we have more than half of the Top 10 bands on the show.) Many musicians are traveling, playing gigs, working day jobs or just chillin’ out away from a telephone on Saturday afternoons, and so our schedules just don’t jibe with theirs. If we miss interviewing your favorite band in any given month, please know that we did our best and that we’ll, more than likely, have the band on the show again in a future month for another chance at an interview.

Here are the Interviews

Daybehavior
David Oneal of Downday
D.L. Marble
Jim Oakes of 484 South
Kitty Terry
Rosalee Sher
Sharon Wendy Robertson
