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.

Lynchburg Grows has taken an abandoned, seven-acre rose farm right in the middle of our city and transformed it into a thriving urban farm with a mission to provide access to fresh, local produce and purposeful jobs to individuals with disabilities.  In our conversation, we talk about how Shelley ended up in farming and in Lynchburg, the people who have helped her along the way, her fondness for radishes, what she's noticed from tending the same soil for several seasons, and what she loves about the work. Visit Lynchburg Grow's website to find out how to connect, volunteer, or support their work.
