Now that NASCAR is in it's off season, I had the opportunity to take in a Panthers game in Charlotte today. Weather was perfect, had great seats, and with people I really like. That was cool. Watching the Panthers blow a 16 point Halftime lead.......not so cool.

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!

Sara Evans
I have a collection of publicity pictures from a number of artists you know and love. I thought this one might catch you off guard a little. This is Sara Evans first publicity photo. Yes, her look has changed a bit don't you think?
