San Antonio Radio Memories

San Antonio Radio Memories
The Website…The Book

Remember that incredible, unique sound that was San Antonio radio in the 1950s, 1960s and 1970s? There was that "nothing like it before" music that rocked us, but more importantly, there were those incredible air "personalities"…who literally blew us away! These giant talents did more than spin "stacks of wax." They created a whole world of entertainment that we could be a part of at the flick of a switch or the press of a button. Real, live DJs, who chose their own music, created imaginary sidekicks, made us laugh, and filled our days and nights with companionship and joy.

With the passing of such great air personalities as B. Bailey Brown, George "Super" Cooper, Howard Edwards, Max Gardner, Ron Houston, Charlie Van and others, we are beginning to lose tales and memories of those glorious San Antonio radio days that only those who "were there" can relate. To preserve as many memories as possible, we must act now!

The purpose of San Antonio Radio Memories is to provide a clearinghouse for those who would like to share and preserve their personal San Antonio Radio Memories for future generations. Our mission is to provide a repository for those memories, to collect the stories, and eventually, compile them into book form for everyone to enjoy.

Our ultimate goal is for the book to be published and made available via major booksellers, such as Amazon.com. NOTE: All profits from the book will be donated, through known reputable organizations, for scholarships to qualified individuals who want to pursue a career in Radio Broadcasting.
