Tex Meyer October 10, 1964 (25 mins scoped)  dial-up  •  hi-speed  •  MP3        Corvairs were new and cool. So were the Beatles. And so was the new-WRIT and Tex Meyer. This aircheck is pure 60's Milwaukee. So hey - when was the last time you heard a Pulaski High School shout out on the radio? And how 'bout that reverb? And jingles almost as long as the songs? When you step step step on the gas Why not go go go first class? The Silver Dollar survey - in Milwaukee - it's 1340 Wonderful, WRITeeee Listen for the old "say it with flowers" jingle, Emperor Rothman doubling as 'erudite announcer',  ... and beer commercials - on the radio! Many thanks to Gary Gorlewski for unearthing this gem. As with all our aircheck exhibits, songs have been 'scoped out' in lieu of royalty payments, but the commercials, WRIT promos and all of Tex's wonderful rap are in tact.  Enjoy!!

More on Tex Meyer ...

We believe Tex came to WRIT from WYNR Chicago in 1964, staying until early 1972. In 1972 he moved to WOKY as music director and p/t air personality. Later he became a General Manager and held positions in Pittsburg (B-94) until around 1998 and then on to Virginia. Bill Shannon ran into Tex in Nashville in 1996 with his then P.D. Buddy Scott (B-96 Chicago, etc).  Bill says it is the first time he'd met Tex and told him he was fondly remembered  from his days at WRIT and WOKY.  "Nice guy" says Bill.

Greetings to everyone.  Especially Jim Kagan & Jack Gallo - great guys. I'm now Market Manager for Clear Channel Radio, Roanoke/Lynchburg, VA. I love the city I was born in and my Mom & sister still live in the area. Let me know what I can do to help your website, WMBH.
My best, Tex.
