Melody Roundup - Roy Acuff
Melody Roundup was the "country show", In the 1940s many local stations did live country programs. Sometimes they'd send copies to AFRS. The network would edit these to fit in the 15 minute program.
Roy Acuff was country music from WWII until well through the 1980s. Lets visit Roy in 1945.
