Welcome to the new website
Hi there,
I’ve been meaning to update and relaunch BigJohnHowell.com for quite some time now. With some professional help supplied by Marcus Brown, I’m happy to say we’re on our way.
I now co-host mornings on 560AM WIND/Chicago. Left my longtime radio home US99 WUSN in the fall of 2006. No hard feelings, just wanted to try something new. My old friend and partner Ray Stevens still jokes with me that I should have just bought a boat/bike/snowmobile if I was suffering from a mid-career crisis.
I’m enjoying my time on WIND with Cisco Cotto and the great staff at the station. It’s a different radio animal and a ton of work but this job has forced me to sharpen my skills and focus my energies. You’ll find a link to 560Wind.com to hear current material from “The John & Cisco Show.”
Over the past couple of months I’ve dug out of the archives (ie: storage unit) old show tapes, compilations, videos, press clippings, articles, book and music reviews, photos, publicity pictures, concert audio and other assorted memories. Most of which we’ve posted, some of which I destroyed. Feel free to check it all out.
Fans of the Country Gold Show will find some interviews with Country Music legends. More to come.
Soon we’ll have additional material, both old and new. Also, soon to come the first chapter of my new book “Dr. Phil Wreaked My Life”.
I’ve found some vintage Born To Boogie Band wearables and will soon have those available if you’re interested.
Thanks for checking the site out. Please feel free to write to me. Take care and stay safe.
John Howell
