First and foremost, let me extend a truly heartfelt thank you to Gary and everyone else who has put this webpage together. I am truly enjoying listening to the _true_ country music that I've found here.

If I have space for a short memory I'd like to share it with the other fans. I am originally from the state of Kentucky, I was blind from birth. I went to the Kentucky School for the Blind in Louisville. I started in school there in 1956, I think. I was this very homesick kid there.

To get to the point of my story, Jimmie Osborne came to KSB in 1957 shortly before his death. He came to our gym class one day. Our gym teacher Miss Monskey, I think, somehow managed to get him there. He was one of the nicest, most personable people I ever remember meeting in my life. I can't remember all the songs he played on his guitar, but the one that really stands out in my memory was ""You Are My Sunshine".

Another thing I remember was the genuine handshake and the 1sincere hug that he gave to a very lonely, crying, homesick kid, Yours truly.

I remember listening to as much of his radio show as school permitted, on WGRC or WKLO, Sorry for not being exact n which station. He did work for both at different times.

I invite anyone to correspond via email with me who enjoys the true country music. Feel free to email me at hugh2008@consolidated.net

In closing, let me say that Louisville did have a couple of good country radio stations then. Thanks again Gary for what you've created.

I'd been looking for Jimmie Osborne music for a long time and just happened to stumble on your page this morning. I'll definitely be back and of course, I'll spread the word.

Sincerely,
Hugh and Wife Rhonda Stogner
