(Bill)
I'd like to go back to the very beginning of Bill Anderson's career, which was in the late 1950's. I was working as a disc jockey in a little radio station in the town of Commerce, Georgia, and our shown incidentally is being heard on a station where I used to work, WNGC in Athens, Georgia.
I want to say hi to those people. It was while I was working down there that I first started writing songs. And if it hadn't been for this song right here I'd still be down there playing disc jockey or picking peaches or washing cars or something for a living. But thank goodness for this, I hope you'll remember it and I hope you'll enjoy hearibg it tonight.
