Excerpts from the book ...
-- "You've got to remember: This is when "Big E" was working for $125 per night, which included the cost of his two musicians, Scotty and Bill. Elvis was so proud as he showed me his pink and black, slightly used, Cadillac. After telling the Hayride gang goodnight and settling up the loot with Tillman Franks, I got into my car, anxious to head to the Wichita Falls General Hospital to see my new daughter. Before I could back out of the parking lot, Joe Carson asked if he could ride with me. "Sure! Hop in," I said. Elvis, who had been standing nearby asked, "Can I go, too? I'd like to see your baby." -- Shortly after I pulled out of the WBAP parking lot for the last time, all music was dropped on the "all-night program. Soon, the newspapers headlined the news, "According to WBAP attorneys, Bill Mack can no longer use the handle, "Midnight Cowboy!" The WBAP outfit thought they were really punishing me with the final punch by claiming they owned all rights to the words, Midnight Cowboy. Really, I had no use for "Midnight Cowboy" any more. My agreement with XM Satellite Radio had placed me in a much more comfortable and enjoyable position. Happy to say, I was about to become The Satellite Cowboy! -- Also working as a DJ at KDAV at the same time was a skinny guy from Littlefield, Texas, just down the road from Lubbock. His name was Waylon Jennings. I hadn't been at KDAV long when I received a phone call from Blaine Cornwell, telling me the good news that I had a job in Long Beach, California at KFOX Radio if I wanted it! I telephoned Blaine and thanked him for the offer, telling him I had decided to stay where I was. |
