  • “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.

    Class of 1962 Motto: “Our ship is at sea, where will it anchor? Colors: Lavender and Silver Flower: Orchid Nancy Avenson (Kath) 211717 SE 279th Street Maple Valley, WA 98039 Telephone: 425-433-0852 Cell: 253-350-9542 [email protected] Birthday: October 26, 1944 Spouse/Partner: Gil Kath - Married 12/28/1962 Children: Daphne, 1964; John Kyle 1995, Adam 1999 Jason, 1965; Whitney 1989, Mikayla 1997 Jolene, 1970; Christopher 1988, Kimmy 1990 Occupation: Walmart Cashier and Retired Comments: I retired in 2003 after working 25 years at Itasca-Mantrap Co-op Electrical Assn. (REA) in Park Rapids. Then moved to the Great Northwest Pacific area. We had lived out here in the late 1960's and I always planned on retiring here. Also, all 3 children moved to this area before I did. I guess they heard me tell them how much I liked the climate, etc. so they came to check it out first. LOL. They have lived here since the mid 1980"s. School Story: Thinking back, I always had the feeling of what I will refer to as segregation. We had the "town kids" and the "country kids". We did not have any late after school buses, which would have helped in allowing all kids to take advantage of after school activities. Some country kids would be able to stay late whose parents could arrange transportation. I am so glad that the district solved the problem by scheduling late buses. I remember trying out for the Junior Class play and was very concerned about staying late and if I could drive to school so that I would be able to drive home afterwards.
