Dear Editors,
Thanks to The Austin Chronicle for including deejay Larry Monroe in the list of nominees for induction into the 2017 Austin Music Hall of Fame. All on the list were exceptional and to Jack Pott’s point ["HOF Hopefuls," Feedback, March 17], Austin will never run out of great musicians and music industry luminaries to include!
Larry’s mission when he moved to Austin in 1978 was to put local music on the air, and thanks to KUT and Sun Radio he had the opportunity to do that for more than 30 years. He was devoted to Austin musicians and worked tirelessly to promote their live performances as well as their records. He deeply appreciated his radio audience and would have been over the moon to receive this award. Thank you Chronicle readers for your recognition of a great Austin DJ! He was the real deal.
