While I was reestablishing contacts from many years ago to gather stories for this blog, I ran across and old friend by the name of Charlie Ammerman.
Now, Charlie knows everyone in Nashville from "back in the day". Charlie has a staunch love for the older country music sound or the young artists true to that sound. He loves it so much that he is willing to put his money where his mouth is. He has started a very professional internet based country radio station called "Carolina Country". His studios are in North Carolina and he has offices here in Nashville. So, if you are online working, playing or just nearby the computer, give the station a listen.
Charlie and I were contemporaries in Nashville during the 1970's and 1980's. At one time or another we had the same or similar projects taking place. He has more stories to tell than I could ever make up. And 95% of his stories are true. I intend to depend quite a bit on Charlie to get this blog going at full speed with interesting tales of that time and now. Between the two of us, we know where a lot of the bodies are buried.
On Tuesday, August 22nd at 7:00 PM Central Time, Charlie is going to dedicate an entire hour (or more) of his show to the one project that we were on and off together during the 70's and 80's - George Jones. He is hoping for a lot of fans to listen to the show and use the online live chat to request songs, to give chat ideas or even to tell about their experiences in country music. This should really be fun.
Note: Carolina Country is off air.
