Episode 33: Henry Fulcher - The Voice of Farmville
For 69 years and counting, 87-year-old Henry Fulcher has been telling stories and playing music on the radio. Starting out in 1956 at WFLO, Henry has been a consistent presence on local radio for seven decades and is known to many as The Voice of Farmville. More than anything else, Henry wanted the listener to feel that he loved them and was speaking right to them. With his focus on playing country, western, and bluegrass music, Henry befriended so many popular artists of that era, even appearing on the popular Hee Haw program alongside Roy Clark. In this episode, Henry recounts moments in music and radio history from his legendary career, but there's so much more to his story including a childhood battle with polio and countless stories of the amazing things he's seen, heard, and experienced throughout his life.

Episode 32: Charlie Layne - The Man with the Roses
In this conversation from Summer 2024, I talked with my 94-year old neighbor Charlie Layne about growing up in Lynchburg in the 1930s and 40s, serving in the Navy, working in the family printing business, falling in love, caring for a family, dealing with loss, leaving a legacy, and tending roses. After his stint in the Navy in the 1950s, Charlie joined his father in the family business at Service Printing, which has served the Lynchburg community from 1922 to today.
