Austin City Limits helped put the city of Austin on the map. The award winning PBS show is celebrating 50 years this years. That's a lot of stories and tales. Tery Lickona is the mastermind of this show, and no we didn't ask for tickets for a future taping. Enjoy part 1 of our conversation with Terry Lickona on "Tales From The Broken Spoke".

So many stories, so little time! Here's part 2 of Bob and Monte's conversation with Larry Telford.....tales of Sammy Allred, Kinky Friedman and more.....and how about the time a bus ran into the back of the Spoke.....want to hear the really story?

Special guest Larry Telford shares his stories of traveling with Kinky Friedman, Lee Roy Parnell and of course the world famous Geezenslaw Brothers in part one of the conversation.

Love having Kathy tell more tales, honestly I could listen to her stories all day.

She is a legend! Austinite and Rock and Roll Hall of Famer Kathy Valentine has a book that you don't want to put down "All I Ever Wanted. A Rock 'N' Roll Memoir."
Check out part 1 of Kathy's conversation with Bob and Monte and part 2 and 3 coming soon!

You may not recogize the name Bud Logan but he is the name behind some of country music's biggest hits like John Conlee's "Rose Colored Glasses", T Graham Brown's "I Tell It Like I Used To Be" and many many more. Bud was also a bass player for the late Jim Reeves. What a career and what a storyteller. Hope you enjoy Bud Logan with these tales!

It's not about politics, it's about our love for Texas Dancehalls and the legendary Broken Spoke. Honestly we taped this episode in 2022 and I've been waiting to post it because I wanted a companion episode with Congressman Lloyd Doggett. I'ver contacted his office and 8 months later, we're still waiting for an answer. It would be great for Congressman Doggett to tell of his love for the Spoke and of the first time a political rally was held at the Spoke. I can't wait to hear his "tales" of old Austin. Let's set it up and in the mean time I hope you enjoy this conversation with Congressman Roy.

I have been waiting for so long to have Eddie Wilson tell Monte and I some tales about old Austin, about the Armadillo World Headquarters, the Raw Deal of course Threadgills. You will enjoy this visit with Eddie Wilson and please read his masterpiece "Armadillo World Headquarters, a memoir".
He needs to stop by for many more visits, right?

Bill Carter is a legend! If you don't know his name, you should. He is the songwriter, along with his lovely wife Ruth, of great songs like Stevie Ray Vaughan's hit "Crossfire", the Fabulous Thunderbirds "Why Get Up", McBride and the Ride's "Can I Count on You" and so many others. Hope you enjoy his stories and tales!

It's quite a history lesson! Bob and Monte vist with BMI's Mitch Ballard.
