Two of my favorite radio voices ever. I am quite familiar with Johnny B. I was a Phil Valentine listener going all the way back to 1510 and JB was a huge compliment to Phil’s talent. Fast forward to the 99.7 days I enjoyed him on the morning show. As a trucker I would stream you guys every day when Bluetooth became popular. I will say that not long after the departure of JB from the station I quit listening to talk radio. Politics seem to never change and it’s really pretty depressing so I am taking a break. But 99.7 introduced me to Jay. What an amazing voice! I am thrilled to hear you both together! I have to be honest and say I’m not familiar with Jim but I think that will be changing as I listen to the podcast! I love music. When George Taylor Morris, Marty Stuart, and Bill Anderson were on XM channel 2, I never missed a show. What amazing shows they had. I’m pretty sure that what I heard today and will hear in the future will be just as good and maybe better. Can’t wait for you guys to prove that I’m right!! Now get busy with the good stuff!

Always good memories as two old dogs spin their tales. You guys touched our hearts, bringing “Old Nashville” radio alive one more time.
