“I listened to KBOA on the farm in Arkansas. My grandfather bought me a transistor radio when they were first available as pocket size. They were very expensive and would use up a battery in no time. KBOA was the main choice in the cotton fields when we would chop cotton. Everyone chopped with me so they could listen. My dad demanded that I chop cotton very fast, so everyone would work hard to keep up!”

I remember growing up in Kennett;chopping cotton,picking cotton in the fall,hunting rabbits & squirrels during cold weather…going to TWO-MILE school,having Miss Clara Belle Phillips for my teacher…she was so sweet..would love to go back to that era… Later,while still in the U.S.Navy,I was in Hong Kong,and ran into a former schoolmate from Two Mile School who was also in the Navy,serving on a different ship anchored out there,as well.We shared many old memories of our childhood…I recall fishing in the St.Francis River…listening to KBOA …”830 on your dial” Chuck Harding and his Colorado Cow Hands Memories that will stay forever……
