Ron Haddock broadcasts from Willcox, Arizona — cattle country, big sky, and a shop that still smells like cut steel and old coffee. He is a country and western musician the old-fashioned way: he writes what he has lived. Years back he stood out front of a band with a guitar and a standup bass, putting a roomful of people on the same heartbeat. He never really quit. The songs just moved from dance halls to late nights at the kitchen table, then onto the air.
Night Owl Country is his station for the folks who are still awake when the town has gone quiet. He knows that crowd. He has been feeding them funny, human songs on Facebook — muumuus, ice packs, cold feet, and the kind of grin you need at two in the morning. The jokes are real because the nights are real.
