Sadly I didn’t even know who he was till I was about 18. Saw him hosting one of those “Best of Country Music” midnight 10 minute infomercials. Those damn things taught me a lot!
This has been a great show, really like the interviews and ad spots woven in. Never thought I'd enjoy a Mickey Gilley show, all I knew was he owned Gilley's and had those family connections. It's always fascinating to hear a WFMU appreciation/reassessment like this. Great radio, Dave.
Great tribute to Mikey Gilley, Dave! I grew up about 20 minutes from Pasadena in Seabrook and was 12 when Urban Cowboy came out. Went to Gilley's with my parents and rode the bull - haha
