My name is Andrew Godfrey and being born in 1944, I have a great interest in nostalgia, plus like to keep up with what is happening in world today.
I served in the Army in Hawaii and Vietnam as a postal clerk.
This website is for nostalgia fans and also attuned to what is happening in the world today.
Hi Andrew,
I happened to come across your blog while searching for data about the 1951 Hadacol Caravan. I am a big fan/collector of the late Hank Williams Sr. As you probably know, Hank was featured on the Hadacol shows during that 1951 Summer/Fall tour.
As I read through your blog, I noticed that you have listed 141 Grand Ole Opry radio shows. That is impressive enough, let alone all the other thousands of shows you have listed there! Wow! Would it be possible for you to send me a list of the Opry Show dates of those 141 shows? I have all of the Opry Shows Hank appeared on but I’m always looking to add more Opry shows from the 1950s to my collection. Also, do you have any unpublished photos of Hank Williams? I collect those too. I look forward to hearing back from you. Thanks!
