:21:08
Yeah, I guess I can.
:21:11
And now, an amusing example of
grass roots democracy in action.
:21:15
It seems there's a small town
radio personality...
:21:18
called "Lonesome Rhodes"
out in Arkansas...
:21:22
who literally sent a mayoralty
candidate to the dogs.
:21:26
Larry, Larry.
:21:29
Just plough out through and keep
going, leave the rest to me.
:21:33
Thanks for bringing up
my breakfast.
:21:39
This is Mr. Steiner,
all the way from Memphis.
:21:42
Mr. Rhodes. I'm one of the oldest
theatrical agents in the mid south.
:21:47
I book a lot of acts for
the Grand Old Opera.
:21:50
I discovered Hank Snow,
and Webb Pierce...
:21:54
and the first morning I heard you,
I said to myself...
:21:57
"Steiner, that man's got power."
:22:00
Not just catchy songs
and funny stories, power.
:22:04
How would you like
to come to Memphis, sir?
:22:06
Memphis?
:22:10
You put me in mind of Will Rogers
when he first came to Memphis.
:22:14
I can make you a star, boy,
if you put yourself in my hands.
:22:20
Shucks, I'm just a country boy.
:22:22
I'm not even sure I want to stay
in this radio business.
:22:26
I'm not one of these
hard pressure fellas.
:22:29
But, do you mind
if I call you again?
:22:31
No.
:22:35
Miss Jeffries.
:22:41
Grand Old Opera,
thas the big time.
:22:43
It never hurt none to play
hard to get.
:22:46
You ought to know that.
:22:49
You don't seem to be pining
for lack of company.
:22:53
I get extra hungry
in the morning.
