Mr. Head began his broadcasting career with a live musical broadcast from WBLJ in Dalton, later moving to WRCD and then finally the last 23 years on WTTI. He continues broadcasting weekly from WTTI, 1530 AM each Saturday from 12:30-1:30.
“I would never believed the first time I was on radio I would have went 50 years,” he said. “I just play good music and tell people about my sponsors, many of which have been with me for decades and I sure do appreciate each and every one of them.”
Some among the performers there to honor his contributions to the industry and region were Raymond Fairchild, The Lewis Family, Randall Franks, J. Max McKee Band, Hickory Wind, Lakeside Bluegrass Gospel Band, Raven Welch Band, Valley River Trio, All For Jesus Band and others.
