(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.
