  • “I Want to Be a Cowboy's Sweetheart”—Patsy Montana (1935)
    “I Want to Be a Cowboy’s Sweetheart”—Patsy Montana (1935) Added to the National Registry: 2011 Essay by Cary O’Dell Patsy Montana Early label Modern country music is usually considered to have three queens, each easily identifiable by just one name: Loretta, Tammy and Dolly. But as impressive as this trinity is, one has to wonder where that leaves some other notable musical ladies of the open plains such as Patsy Cline, Kitty Wells, and Emmylou Harris. Similarly, certainly, the great Patsy Montana is no pretender to any throne. Too often dismissed as a “one hit wonder,” due to her most famous tune, the self-penned “I Want to Be a Cowboy’s Sweetheart,” Patsy Montana actually contributed numerous songs to the country and western lexicon: “My Song of the West,” “Back on Montana Plains,” “Rodeo Sweetheart,” “When the Flowers of Montana Were Blooming,” “I Love My Daddy Too,” “That Silver-Haired Daddy of Mine,” and “I Want to Be a Cowboy's Dream,” among others. But it is her “Cowboy’s Sweetheart” for which she’s most renowned. It is believed to be country music’s first million-selling single by a female artist. A product of Hot Springs, Arkansas, the only girl of 11 children, Patsy Montana (nee Ruby Rebecca Blevins; b. 1912) started singing early and often. She also early on mastered the violin, organ and guitar. Near college age, she left Arkansas for California where enrolled in the University of the West (later renamed UCLA). Quickly though, her musical gifts began to pay dividends—she won an area talent contest and it quickly lead to regular radio appearances singing as part of an ad-hoc girl trio, the Montana Cowgirls.

  • 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.

If phoning please feel free to call after hours From 8.00am up until 7.00pm is fine. I have a couple of pieces of bad news. Firstly my dear mum, Rose Reid, passed away on February 23rd. Many knew her as she worked Wednesdays at the old Parramatta store from 1990-2000 and filled in when I went on buying trips. It has been a trying period but I can honestly say she loved her time in the shop especially meeting and talking to many fine people and was a keen music buff, something that has passed on through the genes. Secondly, we lost a dear friend in Norm Pyne. Many who went to the Parramatta store would have seen a blind guy getting round with only a cane. My admiration for Norm was limitless. I never considered him handicapped in any way and he was always thankful for his independence. It is a sad irony of life that it is probably this independence which saw him involved in an horrific accident which cost him his life.
