  • “The Stories Behind the Songs”
    “The Stories Behind The Songs” John Henderson The Stories Behind The Songs A compilation of “inside stories” behind classic country hits and the artists associated with them John Debbie & John By John Henderson (Arrangement by Debbie Henderson) A fascinating and entertaining look at the life and recording efforts of some of country music’s most talented singers and songwriters 1 Author’s Note My background in country music started before I even reached grade school. I was four years old when my uncle, Jack Henderson, the program director of 50,000 watt KCUL-AM in Fort Worth/Dallas, came to visit my family in 1959. He brought me around one hundred and fifty 45 RPM records from his station (duplicate copies that they no longer needed) and a small record player that played only 45s (not albums). I played those records day and night, completely wore them out. From that point, I wanted to be a disc jockey. But instead of going for the usual “comedic” approach most DJs took, I tried to be more informative by dropping in tidbits of a song’s background, something that always fascinated me. Originally with my “Classic Country Music Stories” site on Facebook (which is still going strong), and now with this book, I can tell the whole story, something that time restraints on radio wouldn’t allow. I began deejaying as a career at the age of sixteen in 1971, most notably at Nashville’s WENO-AM and WKDA- AM, Lakeland, Florida’s WPCV-FM (past winner of the “Radio Station of the Year” award from the Country Music Association), and Springfield, Missouri’s KTTS AM & FM and KWTO-AM, but with syndication and automation which overwhelmed radio some twenty-five years ago, my final DJ position ended in 1992.

  • Investor Directory
    Investor Directory Thigpen Photography Believe in the Future For more than 25 years, the Mobile Area Chamber of Commerce has led our region’s economic development efforts with impressive and undeniable results. Partners for Growth, Believe in the Future, the latest in a strong series of development campaigns, brings together a powerful coalition of public and private investors who believe in Mobile’s future, who build on its past triumphs, and who work to keep Mobile moving forward. Our economic development efforts have a strategic direction backed by funding from 160-plus business leaders, the City of Mobile and Mobile County, and led by a competent and dedicated professional staff. Mobile’s team approach is widely considered “best practice” by peers and professionals nationwide, and these efforts have garnered repeated top rankings from national and global publications and site selectors. Most importantly, the Mobile Area Chamber’s economic development campaigns have delivered significant return on investment by creating and retaining jobs, elevating incomes and salaries and diversifying our economic base. Since 2006, the Mobile Area Chamber’s Partners for Growth initiative has recruited 42 new businesses and assisted with 86 expansions at existing companies. These efforts resulted in $8.5 billion in capital investment and more than 17,400 jobs with an average annual salary of $49,998. Mobile captured the global business spotlight recently when Airbus selected the Port City for its only assembly site in the western hemisphere. Construction is underway on this $600 million project, and the first deliveries are expected in 2016.
