MARSHALL ALLEN BAILEY - "I am the REAL Marshal of Dodge City, Kansas." And a dandy one he is! Marshall Bailey has been playing Western Swing and Cowboy Music off of a stage since he was a teenager. A musician himself, he plays fiddle, steel, guitar, bass, banjo, and drums. (My Goodness - he is a band!) The Marshall has been hosting his show Western Swing and Other Things for 15 yrs. on High Plains Public Radio. It is on every Saturday at 10:30AM to 2PM CST broadcasting over a large area of five states; Kansas, Nebraska, Colorado, Oklahoma, and Texas. "I especially enjoy interviewing artists as well a playing the music of newer artists trying to break into the business."
JOHN SCHMITZ of Lincoln NE began in 1980 as Wagonmaster of his western swing show "The Heyride." The show is broadcast over KZUM 89.3 - FM and can be heard live worldwide on the internet at www.kzum.org. The Heyride is on every Friday night from 7:30 to 9:00 pm. "I like to open the show with a selection of contempory artists playing western swing, then play the works of the pioneers, both well known and obscure groups playing red hot western swing and old honky tonk classics from the 1930's, 40's and 50's. Tune in every Friday night and Sandbag that radio!"
JOHN WOOLEY is best known in Western Swing circles for his years on radio KVOO-Tulsa and his show "Wooley Wednesdays." As the "Entertainment" writer for years with "Tulsa World" newspaper, his was a familiar face at the area music events. A longtime friend of the Bob Wills family, musicians and associates, his rich experiences help color his lead-ins on his current radio show: "Swing On This" at KWGS-Tulsa (89.5 FM), streaming live on Saturday evenings at 7PM. Tune in to John's entertaining and engaging show. John continues to author books, and write liner notes, press biographies and magazine and newspaper stories.
