Dr. John Brinkley was one of the founding fathers of country music and of modern radio.

Within a year of its radio debut, a performance by fiddle and john Carson over WSB in Atlanta, Brinkley paid top dollar to recruit the champion fiddle player,. Roy Faulkner, aka the lonesome cowboy, with a tall pompadour and easy grin.
