  • Porter Wagoners Tent
    Nov. 15, 1992---- The Grand Ole Opry is the country's longest-running live music and variety radio program. It's fitting that one of country music's longest-running live wires will represent the Opry when it is inducted into the Radio Hall of Fame on Sunday at the Museum of Broadcast Communications in Chicago. Country singer Porter Wagoner will make a rare stop in Chicago to accept the honors from special guests the Oak Ridge Boys, along with new inductees Don Ameche, "Top 40 Countdown" poobah Casey Kasem, Detroit morning personality J.P. McCarthy and ABC broadcast legend Leonard Goldenson. The program will be broadcast live on WGN-AM and be beamed back to Nashville on WSM-AM, where the Grand Ole Opry was born on Nov. 28, 1925, as "The WSM Barn Dance." Wagoner is from a different era of country music. He first appeared at the Opry in 1957, when he sang his hit "Satisfied Mind" at the old Ryman Auditorium in downtown Nashville. Country music was characterized by a spunky self-reliance, found in the topical breadth of its songs as well as the colorful showmanship of its singers. Few were as colorful as Porter Wagoner: He was one of the first country artists to exploit the broadcast industry. As early as 1951, he appeared on radio with "The Ozark Jubilee," broadcast from KWTO-AM in Springfield, Mo. While at KWTO, Wagoner met Radio Hall of Famer Paul Harvey, who will host Sunday's ceremony. And from 1960 to 1980, Wagoner reached a television audience of up to 45 million with his syndicated "Porter Wagoner Show." One of Wagoner's key sponsors was the Chattanooga Medicine Co., a pharmaceutical outfit that sold Soltice heat rubs, hygenic supplies and Black Draught laxative, promoted as "the fastest-moving product in the South." The permanently pompadoured Wagoner introduced the rhinestone Nudie suit.

  • “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.

  • "Holly" Swanson
    Anderson Family History Issue 46 ● January 2017 Cousin Tilford – Arthur “Holly” Swanson According to Grandma Mabel’s journal, the first television in the Glenn and Violet Anderson household was installed on 11 Oct 1951. It was a table-top black and white set. We felt fortunate that we were within range of so many television broadcast towers in the Chicago area. For many years, we received five channels—three major networks (ABC, CBS, and NBC), plus independent WGN and our educational channel WTTW. Grandpa Glenn appeared on WTTW for a few minutes in 1956, when he was local fund-raising chair to support our educational TV station. Imagine—no sports channels, no news channels, no movie channels, no home improvement channels, no weather channels, and no cable TV! However, we had more channels than most of our rural cousins. More important, we could watch our favorite TV series and specials—Mickey Mouse Club; Bozo’s Circus; Howdy Doody; Kukla, Fran, and Ollie; Captain Kangaroo; Hopalong Cassidy; Roy Rogers and Dale Evans; Lone Ranger; Cisco Kid; and Wonderful World of Disney. Before going outside to play on Saturday mornings, we usually took time for a cartoon or two—Mickey and Minnie Mouse, Donald Duck, Goofy and Pluto, Bugs Bunny, Daffy Duck, Porky Pig, Sylvester the Cat, Wile E. Coyote, Popeye, Rocky and Bullwinkle, Woody Woodpecker, Tom and Jerry, Mighty Mouse, or Yogi Bear. We occasionally enjoyed What’s My Line, I’ve Got a Secret, Honeymooners, I Love Lucy, Sid Caesar’s Show of Shows, Jack Benny, Ed Sullivan, Hootenanny, and others.

  • The Singing Cowboy in American Culture
    The Singing Cowboy In American Culture by Douglas B. Green f all the facets of American life, one of the few universal experiences which cuts across boundaries of age, social status, race, or location is that of sitting in a hushed theater, accompanying the crack of liix-guns with the O rhythmic chewing of stale popcorn, staring wide-eyed at some handsome cowpuncher either roughing up 'a scurrilous scoundrel or two or leaping from a thundering stallion on to a fastmoving freight or rampaging stagecoach. Ifthat rich and redolent experience was somehow missed, surely no one has not been at least aware of the heroics of Matt Dillon on "Gunsmoke" or the Cart­ wrights of "Bonanza," two longtime staples of television. Perhaps no occupation has been more glamorized over the years than that of cowboy, rancher, frontiersman, prospector, or prairie lawman. It is a national legend and legacy, part of us all. It is a delightful myth we know to be a myth, one which our grandfathers helped create, one which we continue to preserve. Yet positive sentiments toward the halcyon years of the western film in the motion picture industry seem today to be scarce: western film historians look upon the whole genre of singing cowboys as an unhappy and unfortunate bastardization which diluted the purity of the classic action western, while music historians, in general, tend to look upon the genre with equal horror as a bastardization which not only diluted the purity of old time country music, but which also bathed it in such gaudy commercialism that it stripped the music of its inherent dignity.

My father is from Tennessee, in Van Buren County Wont you please play and sing: "Budded Roses. I will be listening in every morning to hear it. The old time music and songs are the only one's for me . A Radio Friend, Miss Dorothy Cole.1 As did Dorothy Cole, thousands of radio listeners wrote a favorite performer on WLS Chicago's National Barn Dance during the 1930s, expressing friendly allegiances to their favorite singing stars; hence, the common salutation, "Dear Radio Friend." Audiences, many of them nostalgic migrants or their children, eagerly welcomed radio performers and often made friends with performers in very specific ways. Using the language provided by broadcasters and advertisers who hoped to entice consumers to tune in and buy products advertised, audiences fashioned new rituals of friendship, which they applied to performers and advertisers. The letters audiences then sent to radio stations documented and defined the diverse and varied terms of these rich, friendly, but ultimately one­ sided relationships. Listener mail is a rare and significant find for those who want to know how audiences responded to radio and its performers in the 1930s, considered radio's 0026-3079/98/3902-173$2.00/0 American Studies, 39:2 (Summer 1998): 173-195 173 174 Kristine M.
