Tom Morgan, WKMS volunteer host and friend, was born in Kentucky on April 26, 1936 and passed away on April 26, 2007 at the age of 71. Survivors include one son, Blaine Morgan and wife, Jodie, Peach Tree, Ga.; two daughters, Mrs. Dana Gaither and husband, Jeff, and Mrs. Joanette Moseley, all of Colliersville, Tenn.; seven grandchildren. We will remember him forever.
This Wednesday on Cafe Jazz (9 to 11 p.m.) we’ll rebroadcast Col. Tom’s special program featuring his 7 favorite
female jazz vocalists. They are, in alphabetical order: Karrin Allyson, June Christy, Ella Fitzgerald, Billie Holiday, Lena Horne, Peggy Lee, and Sarah Vaughan. Blaine Morgan requested that WKMS accept Col. Tom’s wonderful collection of jazz CD’s so that his service to our jazz audience may continue.
Current WKMS staff who worked most closely with Col. Tom, George Eldred and Tracy Ross, are organizing a program in memory of Col. Tom to be aired later this year. George and Tracy would like to hear from any of you who would like to add your voice to this program. You can e-mail wkms @ murraystate.edu if you would like to do this. We will give you advance notice of when the program will be featured.
A friend of Col. Tom’s has established a website memorial at Tom-morgan.memory-of.com, which will also allow the family to learn more about Col. Tom’s cadre of admirers.
