Oh, doctor! 00:00:10 Speaker 3 …News and Talk, WTAW. ------------------------------- 00:00:12 Tom Turbiville (TT) This is WTAW, the First 100 Years, I'm Tom Turbiville. He volunteers and then he volunteers some more. And if you're looking for the foremost historian of the Brazos Valley, you can look no further than Henry Mayo. One of his longtime gigs is with the Brazos Valley Museum of Natural History. And I caught up with Henry at the Boonville Days recently. Ask him his best memories of WTAW. He has a lot. 00:00:42 Henry Mayo (HM) Now WTAW was-- the first I remember specifically listening to WTAW is on the way to elementary school in the late ‘60s, and my dad would take me to school, and he always had Muck & Myer on the mornings. And I guess at that time it still might have been Joe Monroe doing Muck. And so then in the later ‘70s, I remember when it was Mary Mike and Sam Jones, and they were doing Muck & Myer and they always would have J .J. Ruffino and Sonny Lyles come on and do things with them, and uh, so that was good and, um, I've got a recording of one of those shows because I would enter a lot of the contest and that so, but, yeah, I always remembered Muck & Myer; that was, and—and to this day, I still think about it when I'm listening to Infomaniacs every morning. I think, man, I've been listening to the same. It was 1150 back then and it changed to 1620. But other than that, it's the same morning show and it's really keeps you up to date on local stuff, keeps you entertained and always has. 00:01:49 (TT) If it's history of the Brazos Valley, Henry Mayo knows it. This is WTAW, the First 100 Years.
