“Luther, can you find my cat?”

luther-mic

Nobody loved a good laugh more than Luther Masingill.  Since he passed away, I’ve received many nice responses from his fans.  People love the photos, the videos, and stories about Chattanooga’s legendary radio man.  Here’s a video I forgot about, until someone requested it.  It’s from our annual radio deejay reunion, and this clip is from December 2013.  Luther’s presence was a highlight of the annual event, and we always gave him a standing ovation.  We didn’t know this would be Luther’s last visit with us, but we sent him out with a smile.

Take a minute to listen to a funny, true story told by former WFLI morning DJ Dale Anthony.  For many years, he competed with the great finder of lost animals.  Sometimes, listeners would get confused, and call the wrong station.  Then, this happened.  (Thanks to my friend Ben Cagle for sharing)  Just click and watch. Luther’s reaction at the end is priceless:

    Thank You for sharing all the wonderful memories of luther. He will be miss very much. I remember listining to him when I was a young child my granny would listen to him that’s how I become to know this wonderful person. You all done such a wonderful job in honoring luther he would be proud it brought tears to my eyes. This does not happen very often when you can not remember one bad thing about a person but luther broke the mold he was such a beautiful person. May god be with you all in this time of your loss.
