One of the thrilling things about growing up in Atlanta was the overwhelming sense of well being generated by the one and only Gar-O-McKee!
It seemed as no matter what burdens one had starting the day Gary Mckee could take you to a world of laughter and entertainment. He made it seem as though he was your friend, that he was right there with you in the traffic, that he looked forwared (with you)to the day. What an absolute talent! I don’t think that kind of talent can be taught. One either has it or they don’t. Gary Mckee had the talent; moreover, he had the heart.
God bless you my friend and thanks for all you did in those days. Where are you ole buddy? We miss you so.

The sidekick is Willis “The Guard” Caswell. Supposedly, Willis was the security guard at WQXI and he’s always have a joke for Gary McKee every morning when he got into work. Gary liked him so much, he eventually put him on the radio. I’m not sure if that’s true or not, but that was the story they told on the air.
Willis did some funny songs from time to time, including “Gonna Drive My Truck” and “The Great Biloxi Backup.” I’d love to hear some of that stuff. It made getting up in the morning and getting ready to go to school a lot more tolerable.
I loved those guys and by listening to this stuff again, I’m reliving my teenage years.
It was great hearing Gary and Willis again! It’s been thirty years since I’ve lived in Atlanta Gary and Willis made my morning! What a great station
