Join us on a heart-tugging trip back in time as we explore the undying charm of country classics and the heyday of radio shenanigans. Ever wondered why some tunes, like John Denver's "Take Me Home, Country Roads," seem to defy the decades, enchanting everyone from nostalgic seniors to spirited teens? We've got stories that'll paint a picture of the magic these songs carry, including how "Sweet Caroline" became an anthem across generations at my granddaughter's wedding. And for those of you curious about the inner workings of radio, I'm serving up a slice of my life with tales of resistance from the days when corporate bigwigs were wary of spinning those vintage tracks we all adore.
But that's just the start of our journey. Settle in as we remember Bill Monroe's impromptu drop-in at WWNC and how the legendary 'Father of Bluegrass' mellowed with time, a transformation shared by my Uncle Arville Hogan. We'll also chuckle over the quirky contests that hooked listeners by their ears, like the infamous "secret sound contest," and ponder the shifts in parenting and discipline that we've seen along the way. Wrap up your day with a bit of banter from 'Hot Mike with Houston and Hogan,' and don't forget to let your friends in on the fun—after all, our tales are best enjoyed with company.
