No Depression Interview
PROMOTER BILL WENCE SEES THE MUSIC BIZ FROM ALL SIDES
In 1967, while in Juneau playing a club five nights a week, I was offered a job at the Midnight Sun Broadcasting Company at KINY Radio and Television. I worked there five years and was the music director and also did the local news and weather on TV. I also got involved in bringing acts to Juneau and brought Bobby Bare up several times and backed him with my band. Also I booked Charlie Rich and Ernest Tubb and promoted those shows. I ended up back in Salinas after a seven-year absence and worked for a few months at KRSA Country there. Bobby Bare was playing a show in Fresno, so I drove over and hung out with him after the show. He told me that if I was really serious about this music thing, I needed to move to Nashville.
” I drove into Nashville on July 1, 1973. Best thing I ever did. “
