  • JAMES RAE “JIM” DENNY (1911-1963) Music Publisher
    JAMES RAE “JIM” DENNY (1911•1963) Music publisher, booking agent, long•time manager of the Grand Ole Opry, and promoter of Nashville’s music industry, was born in Buffalo Valley, Putnam County, TN. As a young man, Denny found work as a mail clerk with the National Life and Accident Insurance Company, parent organization to WSM and the Grand Ole Opry. With growing interest in country music, Denny was running the WSM Artists Service Bureau by 1946, booking Opry talent and other WSM acts. Denny eventually managed the Grand Ole Opry itself. Denny, along with his predecessor, Jack Stapp, is responsible for updating the face of the Opry. As promoters and developers of talent, they helped to transform the Opry from a popular barn dance to a showcase of country superstars, ensuring its growth and long•term success. During their tenure, the cast grew enormously, most major stars became Opry members, and an Opry appearance became a must goal for many performers. In 1954 Denny and Opry star Webb Pierce formed Cedarwood Publishing Company, for a time the most important publishing house in Nashville. Driftwood Music, a companion firm, was a partnership between Denny and Carl Smith, another Opry star. These business interests led to conflict of interest allegations by WSM and eventually Denny’s dismissal. With his knowledge of WSM operations, Denny achieved immediate success as a booking agent. The Jim Denny Bureau served most of the artists Denny had signed while at the Opry. Billboard magazine estimated that, by 1961, the bureau was handling over 3,300 personal appearances worldwide.

  • The History of Radio in Emanuel County Part I – WJAT Radio, 1950 Thru 1975, Also the Entertainment Activities of the Nancy Auditorium by Rick Paul
    The History of Radio in Emanuel County Part I – WJAT Radio, 1950 thru 1975, Also the entertainment activities of the Nancy Auditorium By Rick Paul Swainsboro, Georgia has a rather unique radio history. From its humble beginnings, we were dazzled and entertained by events that only a short time earlier would have seemed unimaginable. The history of WJAT radio, while interesting enough, really cannot be told completely without including the entertainment activities of the Nancy Auditorium. What a thrill it must have been as citizens witnessed our sleepy little town transform from an obscure logging and farming hamlet into one of the five most significant country music venues in the country. Even more exciting, and maybe a little scary for some, when you consider that country music was still new and rock and roll unheard of. Truly amazing! I began collecting information for this piece in the 60s while hanging around the radio station as a typical teenager, fascinated by juicy stories being told about the radio station and its people. Later, after actually becoming an employee and hearing even spicier pieces of station lore, it dawned on me that someone should write this stuff down. Well, here we are all these years later, and alas, not much has been written about WJAT Radio or the events at the Nancy Auditorium. Recently, I felt the time had finally come to put down on paper some of the things I had learned over the years. And so I began, intent on covering all aspects of our radio/entertainment history. I wanted to really dig in, separate fact from fiction, inform the unaware, bring about a greater appreciation for a bygone era and maybe even learn some new facts along the way.

  • The Long Black Veil by Robert Cooperman
    Wilderness House Literary Review 1/3 The Long Black Veil By Robert Cooperman $12.95, paper Higganum Hill Books PO Box 666, Higganum CT 06441 (860) 345-4103 [email protected] ISBN 0-9776556-1-X Reviewed by Steve Glines I am rarely speechless but this little volume left me in just such a state. I have had this thin poetic novel on my desk, glairing at me, for several months. I have read it and reread it and read it again. I rarely do that. It’s a moving, nuanced novella in poetry. I am haunted by the story and have found myself, at odd times, breaking into the chorus of the original tune on which this story was based, “The Long Black Veil.” By Marijohn Wilkin and Danny Dill. Long Black Veil Ten years ago, on a cold dark night There was someone killed 'neath the townhall light, There were few at the scene, but the all agreed That the stranger who fled looked a lot like me Refrain: Nobody knows, nobody sees, nobody knows but me The judge said son what is your alibi, If you were somewhere else, then you won't have to die I spoke not a word, though it ment my life, For I'd been in the arms of my best friends wife Chorus: She walks these hills in a long black veil, She visits my grave where the night winds wail. Refrain The scaffold was high, and eternity near, She stood in the crown and shed not a tear. But sometimes at night, when the cold wind moans, In a long black veil, she cries on my bones.
