    INFORMATION TO USERS This material was produced from a microfilm copy of the original document. While the most advanced technological means to photograph and reproduce this document have been used, the quality is heavily dependent upon the quality of the original submitted. The following explanation of techniques is provided to help you understand marking: or patterns which may appear on this reproduction. 1.The sign or "target" for pages apparently lacking from the document photographed is "Missing Page(s)". If it was possible to obtain the missing page(s) or section, they are spliced into the film along with adjacent pages. This may have necessitated cutting thru an image and duplicating adjacent pages to insure you complete continuity. 2. When an image on the film is obliterated with a large round black mark, it is an indication that the photographer suspected that the copy may have moved during exposure and thus cause a blurred image. You will find a good image of the page in the adjacent frame. 3. When a map, drawing or chart, etc., was part of the material being photographed the photographer followed a definite method in "sectioning" the material. It is customary to begin photoing at the upper left hand corner of a large sheet and to continue photoing from left to right in equal sections with a small overlap. If necessary, sectioning is continued again — beginning below the first row and continuing on until complete. 4. The majority of users indicate that the textual content is of greatest value, however, a somewhat higher quality reproduction could be made from "photographs" if essential to the understanding of the dissertation.

Bill Wiley Ocers Marvin O’Dell, Someone told me recently that they don’t join or get President involved with the IWMA because the same people win the Jerry Hall, Executive V.P. Robert Fee, awards year aer year. It’s not the rst time I’ve heard this, V.P. General Counsel but I thought this time I would check to see if that is, in fact, Yvonne Mayer, Secretary true. Here’s what I discovered (you can see these same results Diana Raven, Treasurer at the IWMA Web site): Executive Director In the Male Performer of the Year category, there have Marsha Short been six dierent winners in the last ten years; the female Board of Directors counterpart in that category has had six dierent winners in John Bergstrom Richard Dollarhide Marvin O’Dell the last eleven years. Ok, there’s a little room to gripe there, Robert Fee but not much. It’s certainly not the same winner every year. Juni Fisher IWMA President Belinda Gail In the Songwriter of the Year category there have been Jerry Hall eight dierent winners in the last ten years, and the Song of the Year category shows 14 Judy James Robert Lorbeer dierent winners in the last 16 years.

  • “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.
