    “The Stories Behind The Songs” John Henderson The Stories Behind The Songs A compilation of “inside stories” behind classic country hits and the artists associated with them John Debbie & John By John Henderson (Arrangement by Debbie Henderson) A fascinating and entertaining look at the life and recording efforts of some of country music’s most talented singers and songwriters 1 Author’s Note My background in country music started before I even reached grade school. I was four years old when my uncle, Jack Henderson, the program director of 50,000 watt KCUL-AM in Fort Worth/Dallas, came to visit my family in 1959. He brought me around one hundred and fifty 45 RPM records from his station (duplicate copies that they no longer needed) and a small record player that played only 45s (not albums). I played those records day and night, completely wore them out. From that point, I wanted to be a disc jockey. But instead of going for the usual “comedic” approach most DJs took, I tried to be more informative by dropping in tidbits of a song’s background, something that always fascinated me. Originally with my “Classic Country Music Stories” site on Facebook (which is still going strong), and now with this book, I can tell the whole story, something that time restraints on radio wouldn’t allow. I began deejaying as a career at the age of sixteen in 1971, most notably at Nashville’s WENO-AM and WKDA- AM, Lakeland, Florida’s WPCV-FM (past winner of the “Radio Station of the Year” award from the Country Music Association), and Springfield, Missouri’s KTTS AM & FM and KWTO-AM, but with syndication and automation which overwhelmed radio some twenty-five years ago, my final DJ position ended in 1992.

  • School Performance Review El Paso Letter of Transmittal 1999
    LETTER OF TRANSMITTAL March 29, 1999 The Honorable George W. Bush The Honorable Rick Perry The Honorable James E. "Pete" Laney Members of the Texas Legislature Commissioner Michael A. Moses, Ed.D. Ladies and Gentlemen: I am pleased to present our performance review of the El Paso Independent School District (EPISD). This review, requested by EPISD's superintendent and endorsed by Senator Eliot Shapleigh, is intended to improve the efficiency and effectiveness of the district's operations by identifying problem areas and recommending innovative improvements. To aid in this task, the Comptroller's office contracted with Empirical Management Services, a Houston-based consulting firm. We have made a number of recommendations to improve EPISD's efficiency, but we also found a number of "best practices" in district operations. This report highlights several model programs and services provided by EPISD's administrators, teachers, and staff. Our primary goal is to help EPISD hold the line on costs, streamline operations, and improve services to ensure that every possible tax dollar is spent in the classroom teaching the district's children. This report outlines 142 detailed recommendations that could save EPISD $27.9 million over the next five years, while reinvesting $14.9 million to improve educational services and other operations. We are grateful for the cooperation of EPISD's administrators and employees, and we commend them and the community for their dedication to improving the educational opportunities offered to the children of El Paso. Sincerely, Carole Keeton Rylander Comptroller of Public Accounts Executive Summary In September 1998, the Comptroller's office conducted a performance review of the El Paso Independent School District (EPISD) at the request of the superintendent.
