Old Farm Hour (WCHS) WCHS-AM Radio went on the air Sept. 15, 1927 at 580 KHZ. The station was the third station in West Virginia (WV) to go on the air. Its first call letters were WOBU, with the first location being in the Ruffner Hotel on Kanawha Boulevard. It was founded by Walter Fredericks who had an electric shop, but couldn't sell radios with no local stations. So he built one, later calling it WCHS. The station moved into Middleburg Auditorium, which was used for various events. The Old Farm Hour apparently was the creation of Buddy Starcher, who was destined to have the largest impact on the Charleston country radio scene. While Buddy was working in Charleston, he found himself being asked to work on personal appearances with an act called Salt and Peanuts who were working out of WOBU. Buddy got the idea that he could begin booking himself. Starcher began auditioning amateur talent on Wednesdays with announcer Gene Ferguson. Those that did well in this audition would appear on a broadcast on Friday nights. As time went on, the show had regular performers and was held before a live audience. That show became the Old Farm Hour. The Old Farm Hour was the live Friday night jamboree program from WCHS radio. Shows were held in the Middleburg Auditorium and during its period of peak popularity the Old Farm Hour regularly drew crowds of 2000 people. As Buddy Starcher's career moved on, Frank Welling would also audition talent that would appear on the Old Farm Hour show .... + Informações

WMG OWNS COPYRIGHT TO THIS MUSIC BUT HAS GRACIOUSLY ALLOWED THE VIDEO TO REMAIN ON YOU TUBE. Famed for his clear and mellow tenor voice, Mac Wiseman recorded with many great bluegrass bands, including those of Molly O'Day, Flatt & Scruggs, Bill Monroe, and the Osborne Brothers; his command of traditional material made him much in demand by bluegrass and folk fans alike. Wiseman was born in Crimora, VA and grew up influenced by traditional and religious music and such radio stars as Montana Slim Carter. Wiseman started out working as a radio announcer in Harrisonburg in 1944. At the same time he worked as a singer with Buddy Starcher. He later formed his own group and continued performing with others, including Molly O'Day and Flatt & Scruggs, through the '40s. In 1949, he recorded a single, "Travelin' Down This Lonesome Road," with Bill Monroe. By the 1950s, Wiseman was again leading his own band. Possessing one of the best tenor voices in bluegrass, Wiseman differed from Monroe and Flatt & Scruggs in that he usually sang alone, with little or no harmonizing. His band also employed two fiddles to play contemporary songs such as Speedy Krise's "Goin' Like Wildfire," as well as adaptations of standards such as the Carter Family's "Wonder How the Old Folks Are at Home" and Mac & Bob's "'Tis Sweet to Be Remembered." With the Country Boys, a band that featured such pioneering musicians as Eddie Adcock and Scott Stoneman, Wiseman recorded many popular local singles, and had his .... + Informações

Part 2 of a documentary produced by NEON Records of KY featuring members of Keith Whitley's family, his mom Faye, his sister Mary, and his brother Dwight. The interviews were conducted at the old Whitley homeplace along state highways 7/32 in Sandy Hook, KY, which has since been torn down to make way for a new highway through Sandy Hook. I have only been inside the house once, unfortunately, on Labor Day 2003. Part 2 covers Keith's very first public performance and his first radio performance at age 8 on Buddy Starcher's radio show in Charleston, WV; Keith's first encounter with Ricky Skaggs and Ralph Stanley and his experience as a member of Ralph's Clinch Mountain Boys and JD Crowe's New South, and Keith's earliest experiences in Nashville as RCA's newest act.. + Informações

Click here for write up on the Louisiana Hayride Part IV CLICK HERE! TheSecretMoneyMakers.com The Louisiana Hayride (KWKH, 4 ~ 8/27/1960), Part IV While KWKH Personnel were successful showcasing artists and promoting the Hayride, it appeared the station may have been careless with some back office business affairs. Apparently, less emphasis was placed on organizing, protecting and retaining audio tapes, memorabilia and other pertinent material associated with their Hayride sessions. Many of the Hayride artists recorded some of their biggest hits at the KWKH studio. The Hayride ended around midnight, and the station would sign off the air at 1:00 am and wouldn't go back on until 5:00am Sunday morning, leaving four hours that the studio was not in use. Hank Williams, Slim Whitman, Jim Reeves, and others would adjourn to the station's studios to cut tapes of new songs. In 1975, Dave Kent and other Shreveport business men wanted to revive The Louisiana Hayride. Dave approached KWKH management and asked them if he could by The Louisiana Hayride name from them. Kent and the businessmen were pondering the possibility of reviving the original Louisiana Hayride. Dave was informed that the name was never copyrighted and since the station had no intentions of using the name again, he was welcome to it. So, they signed some documents and Kent acquired the name. Amazingly, KWKH management never had the foresight to copyright the name, but even more astonishing were the shoddy methods .... + Informações

Lyrics: I locked myself in a dingy room with a guitar, a pencil, and a notebook on a Sunday afternoon in Lower Alabama It was a hot southern mornin' there was steam in the air there was a group of Harleys out near the state fair there was a rally going on and the cops are kinda nervous In Lower Alabama Don't ever look a dog in the eye It can make a pit crazy, it can make'em get wild Don't kill a spider unless you want it to rain and don't mess with boy, unless you wanna feel some pain I gotta thirty-ought-six I don't need no scope I'll shoot a flea off a ridge while I'm scratchin' my throat I'm a rebel son In Lower Alabama I took a trip down to Houston Texas On a 20 foot plane I was feelin' kinda restless 'bout goin' back home In Lower Alabama Drove with my buddy down Highway 59 We had a 12 pack of beer and we made good time Got into town about 2 am on a thursday night, memorial weekend Nothin' went right those next few days I realized how long I'd been gone Went by my Mother's on a Saturday felt like a stranger in my own home Don't ever look a dog in the eye It can make a pit crazy, it can make'em get wild Don't kill a spider unless you want it to rain and don't mess with boy, unless you .... + Informações

These are excerpts of the last Uncle Willie Show. Uncle Willie was Sleepy Jeffers, a longtime local entertainer. On the Steel Guitar is Roscoe Swerps who played a mean guitar but was even more famous for his comedy which was actually very funny. Unfortunately, he plays it straight in these clips. Uncle Willie got the name by hosting a children's television show, and oddly enough brought the character into an adult variety show.. + Informações

The first edition of "Keith Whitley 101" that I posted to my original jkwfaninwv70 account was so popular, with over 30K views, that I decided to pull every resource that I had to make an all-new version of "Keith Whitley 101." The original version was just over 6 minutes long. Part 1 of this version is already much longer. Part 1 starts with Keith's childhood and spans his entire bluegrass career with Ralph Stanley, Ricky Skaggs, and JD Crowe, and explores his first few years as a mainstream country artist with RCA, the record company that one of his idols, Elvis Presley, was signed to. The clip ends in early 1988, just before the release of the album that catapulted him to the ranks of superstardom, "Don't Close Your Eyes.". + Informações
