Billy Two Beers Remembering WLAC Nashville

Bill Hardy (AKA Billy Two Beers) relates the following

Ahhhhh  Yes…   late 1950’s    WLAC  Nashville  Tenn.  1910 on your AM dial   ( FM didn’t exist! lol)

Herman Grizzard (died 1971, Nashville, Tennessee) was an American radio disc jockey who attained fame from the 1940s through the 1970s for playing rhythm and blues and music on Nashville radio station WLAC. Grizzard was one host of a nightly series of four programs on the station. He shared the block of programs with “John R.” Richbourg, Bill “Hoss” Allen, and Gene Nobles. Together they were known as the “50,000 Watt Quartet”.

Don’t think Herman’s show started till around  11 or 12.     But I luved his theme song…  After Hours!

Do you remember it?

After Hours Performed by Avery Parrish, David Maxwell and Marty Richards  I guess
