David Fowler, Radio Talk Show Host: Gone But Not Forgotten, Part 2

David was a popular morning show talk host on Pinellas Park’s WPLP who arrived from Houston in 1984. Back in Texas he had worked for a number of major stations including KNUZ, KULF (1971-news director), KPRC and KLYX-FM. For the four years he was in Tampa Bay, the Virginia native consistently outdistanced competitor WFLA to win his time period. Along with many other station staffers, he was let go when Susquehanna Radio bought WPLP from Gannett Broadcasting in 1988 and the talker became WTKN. Fortunately, he wasn’t out of work long. The veteran talk show host replaced Dick Norman in the mid-morning 9 until 12N slot on WFLA. Fowler, who had been married five times, was retired at the time of his death in 2004. He passed away of natural causes in Cadiz, Kentucky at the age of 67.
On June 19, 2014, I posted this blog piece on a radio personality I used to greatly enjoy and admire: David Fowler, Radio Talk Show Host: Gone But Not Forgotten (and his Chili Recipe).
In January of 2015, I got a cool and exciting response out of nowhere from an old friend of Dave’s who also used to DJ at KLOL ‘back in the day’. (I hate that expression, BTW.) We then had a brief email exchange.
With Jeff Jensen’s kind permission, and in the interests of expanding the public profile of a late, great radio guy, I’m reproducing those emails below. ~ Mike
PS: The photo at left is the only photo online of Dave that I can find, presumably at WPLP. (Note the reindeer hat.) And that’s pretty much ALL the photos there are that I can find, which is really sad.
If anyone has any photos of/with David Fowler that you would like to contribute, I’d love to have them and, with your permission, post them. Any explanatory captions you want to add (dates, places, circumstances, names of folks in the photo) would be wonderful!
If I get enough material, I’ll create a separate page in memory of David Fowler. ~ Mike

Subj.: David Fowler
Came across your name while doing some lazy web surfing for David Fowler.
I used to hear David on KPRC, too, as well as quite a bit on WPLP here in Florida. I did nights at KLOL in the early 80’s and had a morning show in Tampa Bay in 85 and 86. When I heard Fowler here in this market, and remembering him from Houston, decided to give him a call. Nick, my radio partner, and I met David at B.T Bones Steakhouse in St. Pete. We talked radio, drank a lot of beer, and then David was off. Said it was “nice meeting us and stay in touch.” So we did, and before we knew it, Nick and I were in David’s circle, hanging at his “humble beach hut on Sunset Beach” for hours on end. There was the odd bit of alcohol involved, as I recall, and David held us spellbound with stories and more stories. The “banana suit” story was one he liked to tell. He would often disappear into the bathroom around the corner from his kitchen (where he held court and drank with us, or should I say, we tried to keep up with David’s drinking) and come back into the room wearing a fake moustache or eyeliner, and hold forth conversations as a completely different character. He once held an hour long conversation between three people, with David doing the voices of all three people.

A Love Song About A Cat, by Larry Havluck
Cats just seem to bring out the amusingly strange in people.
I honestly have no idea what this song is actually entitled, or what the tune is, but I love the lyric. I scooped it from a reader comment from this article: http://newsfeed.time.com/2014/01/07/actually-your-cat-thinks-you-are-a-giant-cat/?iid=nf-article-mostpop1
If anyone has a link to a video or audio of this tune, I’d love to include it.

Overheard on the Flight Deck of the USS George H.W. Bush [VIDEO]
I hate to totally lift a piece from somewhere else, but whether the conversation below actually happened or not, it’s a joke with a punch line and has to be read with continuity.
The setting is a test flight of a fighter-sized unmanned aircraft — dubbed the X-47B — doing touch-and-go landings on the aircraft carrier USS George H. W. Bush. The POV seems to be two F-18 pilots flying CAP or observation over the carrier. The conversation is below the photo. The video of the test is below that.
Some more info on the X-47B is here. The original article is here.

PUFF OF HISTORY: With the smoke puffs created when its wheels touch the flight deck, the unmanned X-47B conducted its first “touch-and-go landing op” last Friday.

Rep. Anthony Weiner: Great Video Moments On The House Floor [VIDEO]
I’m re-posting (from June 6, 2011) this short video compilation of some of Anthony Weiner’s best moments in the U.S. House of Representatives. At a time when he’s being seen by some (many? most?) as a pathetic laughingstock who should drop out of the race for mayor of New York City, it may be worth looking again at the passion he brought to the House, the good that he fought for for America, and his total unwillingness to be intimidated or shouted down.
Weiner has his personal problems, but he may also be the kind of combative, gutsy mayor that the 99% of New Yorkers need. ~ Mike

In my opinion, some of the great and courageous moments ever seen in House debate.

“The Daily Show”, Back in Black: Hey Texas, Don’t Frak With New York
Texas Governor Rick “The Hair” Perry is pimping plumping for jobs in other states to bring to Texas. The states in question have an uncommon propensity to be ‘Blue’.
Hey Governor Perry… You know that “Don’t Mess With Texas” slogan y’all are so proud of? Well, Lewis Black tactfully points out that New York has a slogan, too
