R.I.P. "Pete" Peterson


my old boss from


KBSZ Wickenburg Arizona


"Spirit In The Sky"


Today I received very sad news from my old town of Wickenburg Arizona.
Jo Peterson wife and co-owner of KBSZ 1250 AM radio informed me that her husband (my old boss) passed away yesterday.


I didn't know what to say.
I just remembered his voice and I cried.
(poor Jo)


R.A. "Pete" Peterson was a long time radio man, husband and father who
raised beautiful horses that he raced.
I never could tell which he loved more, his wife, his family, those horses or KBSZ.
I was lucky enough to see Pete and Jo last year here in Michigan while we
were renting a home on North Shore Drive in South Haven.
Jo was attending to her 50th High School Reuion.


I remember Saturday mornings Pete poking his head in to check on me with Belle the dog at his side before he went down to the Hassayampa River where
he kept the horses.


Friday nights durring football season you could hear Pete on KBSZ annoucing the High School Football game, cheering the Wranglers on to victory
with Jo working the controlls back at the station with Belle at her side.



Pete was a good man and always said he had the perfect face for radio.


When I first met this tall cowboy (with a hippie soul)
I was going door to door in the Wickenburg business comunity asking merchants
to join our new group called W.A.M.O.
(Wickenburg Area Merchants Association)
Pete smiled, wrote me a check and proudly stuck the sticker on the door.


Not long after I met Pete again this time with his wife Jo while giving a presentation
to the Chamber of Commerce about having a "Rock-a-billy Festival" out at
our rodeo grounds.


They wern't much interested BUT Pete and Jo were.
When I got a call from them asking me to met them at their new offices about
my idea, I had no clue they were going to stick a microphone in front of me.



Pete and Jo were very inovative and open minded people with a great sense of humour,
I can honestley say I enjoyed every shift I held down at the 'radio ranch'.



When I got this amazing CD called
"Rockin' And Boppin' In The Desert Volume 1" from John P. Dixon,
I got a wild idea to contact all the Rock-a-billy cats I could from the
Arizona/Viv Records compilation and have a reuion of sorts for them at the radio station.


Pete and Jo loved the idea and on their dime we set up the station for party
not knowing what to expect.
It was magic!
What a wonderful thing Pete and Jo let me put together for these great people
who some hadn't seen eachother in over 30 years.


There are so many other great stories about Pete and Jo, but these are just a few
that I will treasure.


Were gonna miss you big guy,


a spirit in the sky...

awarding winning morning show,

This was for the ALCO Store, which is still thriving
in town today.

CommentR.I.P. Eartha Kitt...Actrss, Singer, Catwoman
(and my Mom's aunt.)




Eartha Kitt had a tough childhood as many know.
A strong woman who made her own way in the world.
My Mom's uncle John William McDonald met this dynamo while she was singing at the Playboy Club
located at 116 E. Walton in downtown Chicago
(That's where my Mom and Dad held their engagement party)

According to my Mom, he was 'smittin' with Eartha and sat in the front every night and sent her huge bouquets of roses with love notes asking to take her out for a night on the town.

Bill McDonald's persistance paid off and she finally gave in to his requests.

My mother said the major contention about Bill marring Eartha was not the fact that she was black but that she was not Catholic.

The family had told me many 'Eartha stories' over the years and one of them my Dad told me was about Eartha challenging my father to and arm wresting match at one of the family parties contesting she could take any man in the room.
My Dad at the time was a boxer and male model.
(He was in great physical shape) and wanted to accept the challenge.
(Eartha herself was quite athletic)
BUT
after receving 'looks' from my Grandmother and other matriarcs my Dad had to politley decline.
I guess Eartha taunted him and called him 'chicken' every time she saw him after that.

I was told many colorful tales about Eartha but today is probably not the time to tell these stories.

There are some cool old family photos of "Catwomen" and when I find them I will post them and share them with you all.

I thought it was so neat when I was about 12 years old or so to see Eartha and Bill's beautiful daughter
Kitt McDonald gracing the covers of popular magazines as a model.


Eartha was married to my Mom's uncle John William McDonald, from June 6, 1960, to 1965.

I remember my mom's cousin Ephraim Clark (Bill's nephew) loved Eartha and encouraged Eartha to visit him often in France so they could have fun on stage with her singing and Ephie telling corney jokes.

I send my thoughts and prayers to Eartha's now family and freinds at this sorrowful time on Christmas day.

CommentMy Sister in-law Laurine called me today and said I was on the new TV show 'The:DISH' on the Style Network/Channel hosted by Danielle Fishel from 'Boy Meets World'.
I guess it was taken from when i was on
'Uncommon Threads' with Allison Whitlock and we were talking about the 'Day of the Dead' soft sculpyure doll...
she said it was funny (and cute)
If anyone knows where Allison and i can watch the clip,
let me know
Thanks,

CommentHowdy friends :O)
I was wondering if I could ask you for a favor??
(I am asking ALL my new friends here this and ALL
my friends on MySpace)



Wheather you like the
Rock and Roll Hall of Fame or not...
we are trying to get Wanda inducted into the club.

All you have to do is write the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.
It just takes is a few moments to write them
send a post card or a greeting card (whatever)
that simply says…
INDUCT WANDA JACKSON—2009!
(the message will be heard loud and clear)
Remember the movie "Miracle On 34th Street"?
Well, it's the same concept.
