Many families in Louisiana have memories of gathering around the family radio in the 1940s, 50s, and 60s to listen to Louisiana Hayride, a live music show broadcast from Shreveport and local radio station, KWKH. This week, Centenary College in Shreveport proudly announced Centenary Archivist Chris Brown recently had the pleasure of seeing an important multi-year project come to fruition when he was recognized for contributing to a new 20-CD historical box set celebrating the music and history of Louisiana Hayride, staged live each week in Shreveport from 1948 to 1960 and occasionally until 1971.
