Courtney is a proud Ragin’ Cajun alumni with a BA in Mass Communication. She began her career in television, but eventually switched over to the dark side. Courtney is somewhat of a musical nerd, knowing random facts about music that most other people never even dream of…her first research paper she ever wrote in 8th grade was on the history of rock & roll…(if that tells you anything) She also helps JJ host Kickin’ Back The Covers on Thursday afternoons. In her spare time, she travels to music festivals in her psychedelic school bus with her music-loving hippie troop. If there is a festival within driving distance in the Tri-State area, Courtney is probably there!

I was born in Muskogee, Oklahoma. That’s what they tell me, I really don’t remember. I grew up in a small town about 20 miles away from Muskogee, called Haskell small town-2,000 people on a good day. My life was changed forever on Christmas Day 1955, when I got a small trap drum set, and my first record player.“I loved music from the get go-all kinds. Mom was a member of the Columbia Record Club, so she’d order Broadway show tunes albums, my sister Nancy likes easy listening stuff, and was I ever surprised when my Dad came home one day with a couple of 45?s and a Bing Crosby 10?LP for me. I hadn’t even hit double digits, and before long I had more music than I could absorb. But I did. Every single note of it.

I got a guitar when I was 12, which coincided with the folk craze, so it was Kingston Trio, Peter, Paul & Mary, and The New Christy Minstrels. Then the Beach Boys, Beatles, and everything that was played on Top 40 radio. I loved it all! Even loved it when mom brought home Van Cliburn performing Tchaikovsky’s First Piano Concerto. My grandmother Goddard had Tennessee Ernie Ford’s “Spirituals” album, so that was a big influence too. When I was 16 years old I got tired of sacking groceries, so I got a job at the radio station in Muskogee hey, you could do that in those days! And free records!I got a job in Dallas, where I met another huge influence – Bud Buschardt. I remember meeting him at WFAA and he asked me if I wanted to see what 5,000 records looked like – sure, I said. It was there I discovered a record collector. They were all in specially built shelves, in green sleeves – all arranged chronologically – and Bud had a $50 yellow paperback book by some guy named Joel Whitburn. I was hooked. No more hodge podge, I got mine organized! And during the course of my radio career, I’ve had the opportunity to collect a lot of memorabilia and interview a lot of people. Lots of rare tapes, too but what to do with all this stuff?! Over 90,000 records, not to mention CD’s, and miles and miles and miles of taped interviews and studio outtakes. Seems a shame just to organize it, categorize it, put it on a shelf, and forget about it. Thanks to The 70s With Steve Goddard, I can share my lifetime of collecting with you. You don’t need to search it out, clean it up, organize it, categorize it, and build shelves for it, you just need to listen. That’s a pretty good deal! Tune in Sunday evenings 6-9 here on 95.7 THE GREATEST HITS OF ALL TIME !
