- Synopsis
- This is a book about Lonnie Bell and his deep personal relationship with Country Music. It's about a young boy who grew up in West Virginia's coal mining country during the depression years, at about the same time that Country Music started, and in the same part of the nation. In many ways, this book is a first-hand, eye-witness account of the very origins of Country Music, from a man who was right there living it at the time. Lonnie Bell's memories are truly a Reference Manual of Country Music history. In truth, Lonnie actually had several careers, starting with 20 years active duty in the Navy that included all of World War II; then as a Country Music stage entertainer, a popular daily radio personality, and a Hall of Fame Disc Jockey. Even more amazing was the fact that it wasn't until after he retired from all of these in 1985, that Lonnie started his weekly "Lonnie Bell's Classic Country" program on KGHL AM-790. Over the next 27+ years, this live Sunday morning oldies show became legend in Montana and northern Wyoming, and Lonnie himself grew to be an icon among those who love traditional Country and Western Music and its history.
