Long John's Story

I grew up in
Tryon, North Carolina and graduated from Tryon High School before they consolidated it with Polk Central (our arch rivals!) and graduated from Furman University in 1979. Like most college grads, I needed a job. Having worked at WTYN in Tryon, I thought I would try radio until I could find a "real job." I came to WESC as a part time announcer in the Fall of '79 and started full time in January '81. After a few years, some "manager type" decided I needed a nickname. I was known as "Big John" until during an interview with Barbara Mandrell she said, "You sure are a long drink of water." The nickname "Long John" stuck, so I don't know whether to blame Barbara, or thank her!
I've worked with a lot of great people over the past 30 years, but I have learned that the listeners make WESC what it is.....and not the personalities on the air. Thanks for listening!
How about some pics!

Need Your Advice
Are you a "Nosey Neighbor?" This is a shot I took this morning of my yard that I mowed last night next to my neighbor's yard. What would you do? Nothing? Mow it when they are not there? Annonymously hire someone to mow it one time? They are good neighbors. Comment below and see what your friends say too.

You Can't Make This Up!
My favorite story today is about the elderly Greenville man that was reported missing by his family. It all ended well as he was found enjoying an Alaskan Cruise. You go Grandpa! Sometimes you just have to get away.
