Ed Case will present a program on Bob Skyles & his Skyrockets. "One of the most fascinating, irresistible and - at times - maddening bands on the musical landscape...they play with a raucus, ragged, rip-roaring abandon." - Kevin Coffey Ed's first radio job was as a volunteer DJ on Walter Reed Army Hospital's Bedside Network 1948-52. He later worked for the Defense Department's Public Information Office, ABC Radio's "Time for Defense," "The Armed Forces Hour," Billy Graham's early "Hour of Decision," and a huge show called "Battle Report" hosted by a very young David Brinkley. Ed moved to Houston in 1952 and has worked for KTHT, KTRH, KRTS-FM radio. He has narrated approximately 125 official films for NASA (from Gemini to Apollo missions to Skylab) and conducted an in-home TV interview with George and Barbara Bush. He also voiced radio spots for Bush's first political campaign in 1964! Here are the particulars: Date: Wednesday, October 22 from 7-9 PM Location: Houston Community College Central Campus, 3517 Austin St. (just east of Main and south of Holman) - the meeting will be held in the Recital Hall (Room 115) of the Fine Arts Center Cost: FREE! Directions: Approach Austin St. from Alabama St.; turn north on Austin from Alabama; then go one block and turn right; then make an immediate left into the parking garage. There's plenty of free parking in any space that doesn't have a reserved sign on it. The parking garage is connected via a covered walkway to the Fine Arts Center. Once parked, just go through the short walkway (on the north side of the garage) and enter the FAC. Proceed to Room 115, which is just to the left of that entrance. Hope to see you there!
