Legendary Country singer/songwriter/Certified Guitar Picker Steve Wariner is coming to Schroeder Hall on Saturday, April 5th. I have the honor of emceeing the show, and I hope you're planning on being there! This Tuesday (4/1/14), I'll be interviewing Steve on KIXS 108. He has a new album, It Ain't All Bad, released in the Fall of 2013, and is out on the road, playing songs from the new collection

I've written several posts here about my hobby of amateur radio (aka "ham" radio). It's a hobby for anybody interested in communications (emergency and otherwise), electronics, technology, of just having fun! Age, gender, or having a disability need not keep you from getting your amateur radio license, and joining in on the fun! Take, for example, a third-grader from Lumberton, TX (near

With this being a "Throwback Thursday," (well, at least on Facebook!), I thought I'd share the video from back in 2010, when my co-workers at the Saga Communications/Jonesboro Radio Group (Jonesboro, Arkansas) played a very zany, whimsical, madcap prank on Yours Truly! This video is truly hilarious!

We've all heard stories of dogs rescuing lost skiers or hikers, or dogs that bark to alert their families of a fire or intruder in their house. But what some dogs can do--either through training, or their own natural instincts--could quietly save untold lives, and will amaze you!

This video is quickly going viral. A sweet-looking elderly lady sits down behind a drum kit in a drum shop, and begins riffing away! This is why you never underestimate our more "seasoned" citizens!

This story is being circulated all over social media. "Hindsight is 20/20," the old saying goes. Well, if you read this man's words, it seems to me that his backward vision concerning the breakdown of his 16-year marriage is crystal-clear. I know a lot of what he says here got me thinking about my marriage, and whether or not I could be making some of the same mistakes he did.

Country Music Hall of Fame member Buck Owens passed away on this day (March 25th) in 2006. I worked for Buck on one of his Bakersfield, CA radio stations (KTIE-FM) in the mid-1990's. During that time, Buck's dream of a first-class steakhouse/nightclub/concert venue/museum, the Crystal Palace was being built right next door. After it opened, Buck performed there with his band, the Buckaroos, nearly

Here in South Texas, the concept of the siesta is not unfamiliar. Most of us know how brief, refreshing "power nap" (if one has the ability to take one) can give you that little "re-charge" of our internal batteries to get through the remainder of a tough work day. Now, researchers at California State University Berkeley have proof that napping is not only good for you, it's na

I love a good list. Especially lists that offer up some good life advice or helpful suggestions. I happened to see this one linked on Facebook, and found it to be very interesting. I think you will, too! From time to time, we all find ourselves at a loss for how to deal with some of the stuff life throws at us. Perhaps you and I can find some comfort in the information included in this list! Read

It's something we Texans know, and of which we are proud. Now, a highly-respected business publication has confirmed: when it comes to grocery stores, no other chain can beat H-E-B! These three letters are synonymous with a great, fresh grocery shopping experience throughout the Lone Star state!
