While
in High School at a thriving metropolis known as Ada, Oklahoma, M.G.
Kelly worked part time at a local hamburger joint. This promising
career ended without severance pay when the corporate owner
announced that Kelly was drinking too many chocolate shakes and the
profits were slipping. M.G. soon recovered from the devastation and
decided to try a more stable business...Radio.
He walked into KADA, the local 500-watt
powerhouse and recorded an audition tape. During a gentle
critique of his efforts, the management told M.G. Kelly, "You don't
have the right voice for radio."
Our hero then shot across the street to
KTEN, the only other station in town and they said, "Hang around,
sometimes we get desperate." A year later in 1970, "The
Midnight to 8AM Personality" called in sick and there was
nobody available to go on the air... nobody, except a 17-year-old kid
who calmly said, "I can do that."
As
you take a 40 year trip through The M.G. Kelly Archives, you'll get to know a guy who has been called, "The Man with More Lives than a Cat."
