I just found out that you have commented on this site, thank you. I have also responded to Bob's daughter for her comments. In a way, Tim and Bob may have had some influence on the fact that I wound up working the Hobby's at The Houston Post from 1967 until it closed in 1995 for somewhat the same reasons that you expressed, that Mrs. Hobby was a great lady and, even though she had sold the paper, I wanted to continue working for The Post as long as I could. I wish that the St. Patrick's Day Parade was still a big event, they do have a parade on FM 1960 for St. Patrick's Day now, the Ancient Order of Hibernians has been replaced by the Irish Society and they are headquartered at the University of St. Thomas in the Irish Studies building. Best wishes to all! "May the road rise up to meet you. May the wind always be at your back. May the sun shine warm upon your face, and rains fall soft upon your fields. And until we meet again, May God hold you in the palm of His hand." AdCessories

Hi, Thanks for the info about your dad and Tim. I spent many mornings enjoying their show, they were great together and I always wondered why they did not get picked up nationally like Bob and Ray, or, Hudson and Harrigan, too bad. Best wishes. I am glad to see that Tim's son has also chimed in with his comments. I wish both of you the best. AdCessories

Tim Nolan and Bob Byron hosted KPRC radio's morning drive time slot for at least a decade, or more. They interspersed their own local talent with recorded pieces from Radio Ranch, like "Chicken Man", and the tracks from other morning duos throughout the nation as well as top 40 music from the likes of Barbra Streisand, whom they liked to introduce as "the singing Aardvark". Tim tried to come off as the responsible one and Bob was the one who would take cheap shots at local politicians and anyone else whose name came up in the news, Bob also took shots at himself with lines like "the cork just fell out of my lunch", and so on. They were great to listen to as I dragged myself out of bed and got ready for another day at the grind, they just don't make them like that anymore. Fox and Friends just doesn't quite get me there like Tim and Bob did.

Hi, I just ran across your question today. Yes, there was a show on Channel 13 called the Larry Kane Dance Studio. It was on Saturday afternoon with a local host, Larry Kane, who was a local lawyer during the week and just did the Dave Clark American Bandstand knockoff on the weekend. You had to be student at the Jerry Roe Dance Studios in order to be one of the dancers on the show as they did not want to have a bunch of lumps who could not dance, or have lewd dancing, on camera. One of the cameramen was Jim Corolla, the former News Director at KILT radio, and he might have many more "behind the scenes" stories about the Larry Kane show. We started at the studios over by the University of Houston and wound up at the new KTRK studios out on the west side of town. It was a lot of fun to the dancers and we got to see and meet the recording artists who were popular at that time.
