Wow, a pleasure to handle this one, since it's me. After 18 years at WBAP, new owners Cumulus stepped in with an offer I could not accept. They did not budge, so I pursued other options. On June 4, 2012, I began a new show on KSKY-AM 660 in DFW, owned by Salem Communications. This also affords me the privilege of hosting Bill Bennett's Morning in America nationwide every Friday. I can be heard 7-10 am CT Mon-Thur and 5-10 am CT Fridays. Listen online at 660amtheanswer.com.
I will always treasure my years at WBAP as an employee of ABC, Disney and Citadel. I will always wish them well. The bottom line here is that Cumulus did what they had a right to do, and so did I. We'll see how it all works out for everybody.

What happened to Sam from Sales at WBAP radio?
I'll give you the simple answer, budget cuts. I was a full time employee beginning in 1984 and was contract labor since 1997 and did the radio show from the house. WBAP was sold in 2007. The company that owns WBAP decided to fire about a dozen people in February of 2008 and I was one of the heads to roll. Sammy, Willie, Dr.Ben, Elvis and about fifty other character voices I did for the WBAP morning show went with me. Currently, I am out of the radio business and work on a shrimp boat in Bayou Labatrie, Louisana. Good Luck and Keep a Tight Line! John H

Who plays Fractured Christmas piano?
So this is what's know about The Fractured Christmas Piano music.About 25 years ago radio station WLAC in Nashville (now gone) used to play funny piano solo Christmas carols every year. It was somebody playing a piano and they would keep hitting wrong notes but just keep on playing - kind of like suffering through a kid's piano recital. WBAP AM in Dallas plays these songs semi - regularly every Christmas. Only drawback is that the DJ Mark Davis thinks people want to hear him giggle over them. Rarely he will shut up and play them uninterupted, but again this is AM radio, so not the best in sound.The story behind it is that apparently the early morning DJ (Hal Jay) knew a piano player in Tennesse who was a local TV weatherman, kiddy show host and played with the Jordanaires with Elvis Presley. The guys name was Boyce Hawkins.Boyce HawkinsCountry Gospel player who worked as a TV weatherman in NashvillePlayed w/Oak Ridge Quartet (1949), Jordanaires (1952), Statesmen Quartet, Boots RandolphThere were only 5 songs made that known: White Christmas, Jingle Bells, Deck the Halls, Santa Claus is Coming to Town, and Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer.The music cannot be put up on the web due to copywrite issues, I think that Hal had a cassette tape of Boyce Hawkins playing on either a promotional LP released in the 70's or some charity/novelty record. The most likely search would be in the Tennesse area since that is where Hal Jay got this recording and it was said to be played alot.
