Recordings taken from broadcasts on WPAQ, Mt. Airy, NC, probably during 1948-1952. Some are live broadcasts, others studio sessions intended for later broadcast.

WPAQ of Mount Airy, NC is a radio station in the classic southern tradition. Since signing on in 1948, it has featured live local and touring professional artists performing old time, bluegrass, and traditional gospel music. With uncommon consistency, the station has reflected the musical values of its community for more than fifty years. Fortunately, many early performances were recorded. This album showcases a selection of musical treasures from the first years of WPAQ.

Radio station owner Ralph Epperson kept the twangy sound of live bluegrass, old-time gospel and mountain music cruising over the airwaves from his North Carolina radio station WPAQ long after other broadcasters had stopped.
Epperson died  at age 85. He had fallen in his driveway and suffered a brain injury on May 12.
He was on the air with his regular Saturday program, Blue Ridge Spotlight, less than a week before.
Ralph Epperson built his station in Mt. Airy, N.C., using bricks and locally hewn beams.
When the station went on the air in 1948, Epperson pledged to feature local talent and to preserve local music. He never broke that pledge.
Today, WPAQ continues broadcasting the traditional music of its community and local news.
NPR newscaster and reporter Paul Brown worked for Epperson and WPAQ in the early and mid-1980s. He shares an appreciation of Epperson, a man he describes as "one of those people with incredible, obsessive focus, someone who believed in service, and believed very deeply in the community of people around him."
