  • Vince Gill Biography
    VINCE GILL BIOGRAPHY “Vince Gill is quite simply a living prism refracting all that is good in country music. He uses the crystal planes of his songwriting, his playing, and his singing to give us a musical rainbow that embraces all men and spans all seasons.” - Kyle Young/Country Music Foundation on Vince’s induction into the Country Music Hall of Fame Vincent Grant Gill was born April 12, 1957 in Norman, Okla. His father encouraged him to learn to play guitar and banjo, which he did along with bass, mandolin, dobro and fiddle. While in high school, he performed in the bluegrass band Mountain Smoke, which built a strong local following and opened a concert for Pure Prairie League. After graduating high school in 1975, Gill moved to Louisville, Ky. to be part of the band Bluegrass Alliance. After a brief time in Ricky Skaggs’s Boone Creek band, Gill moved to Los Angeles and joined Sundance, a bluegrass group fronted by fiddler Byron Berline. In 1979, he joined Pure Prairie League as lead singer and recorded three albums with the band, the first of which yielded the Top Ten pop hit “Let Me Love You Tonight” in 1980. Departing the group in 1981, Gill joined Rodney Crowell’s backing band the Cherry Bombs, where he met and worked with Tony Brown and Emory Gordy Jr., both of whom would later produce many of his future solo albums. In 1983, Gill signed with RCA Records and moved with his wife Janis and daughter Jenny to Nashville to pursue his dream of being a Country Music artist.

American film actor, director, producer, composer and politician. Eastwood first came to prominence as a supporting cast member in the TV series Rawhide (1959–1965).

  • 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.

  • When I Stop Dreaming”--The Louvin Brothers (1955) Added to the National Registry: 2014 Essay by Benjamin Whitmer (Guest Post)*
    “When I Stop Dreaming”--The Louvin Brothers (1955) Added to the National Registry: 2014 Essay by Benjamin Whitmer (guest post)* The Louvin Brothers Original label Charlie and Ira Louvin, the brothers who made up the blood-harmony duo the Louvin Brothers, had to fight tooth and nail to get “When I Stop Dreaming” recorded. After working their way off their family cotton farm and away from their abusive father, it had taken them 20 years to make the Grand Ole Opry and sign a major recording contract with Capitol Records. The problem being, now, Charlie and Ira found themselves pigeon-holed as gospel-only artists, which wasn’t doing their career any favors. As Charlie described it to me, the gospel people really didn’t like them much because they played string instruments. Since in the gospel world the piano was the only acceptable instrument, the strings made the audiences consider the Louvin Brothers as something like carnival people. Likewise, when the brothers played country music venues, their gospel music brought down all the people who were just trying to have fun. People don’t want to hear about God on Saturday night; that’s for Sunday morning. As Charlie put it, “We was pretty close to being a fart in a whirlwind.” They knew they needed a secular song if they were ever going to get out of the gospel trap. So they approached their A&R man at Capitol Records, Ken Nelson, with the idea. Nelson was not amused. Capitol Records had just tried a similar transition from gospel to secular with a singer named Martha Cross.
