What's in a name...

Radio is a land of make believe, you create memories when you hear a song, you visualize what a DJ looks like in your mind, and those gnarly participants can legally make up a name for him/herself while on the air. 

Did you know...

Suitcase Simpson is really Bill Miller

Alan Douglas is actually Alan Sneed

Dr Al Adams is Allen Johnson

Eddie Beacon's name is Clay Husskison

Possum Riley aka Paul Randall Dickerson

...and the list goes on, including (photo above) Hop Edwards!

Hop was a radio and TV star in East Tennessee in the 60s and 70s. Hop's a Nashville native and Alabama grad, and his real name is "Edward Horde".

If I was back in radio I would be Andy Spears or Noodles Theodore, you got name?

World, Rumore, “Dan Todd” and Paul! All good ones and sadly all are gone now. 

I worked with Tony, Vic, and Bob at WKGN—and Vic in Nashville, too—and Paul at WKDA-WKDF in Nashville. He helped me find an apartment when I went to work for Jim Dick and Bill Hays in Nashville. (Alan Sneed ~ regarding our previous post)
