Celebrating King Records Month And TV's "Midwestern Hayride" In September

Cameron Cochran

Local steel guitarist Cameron Cochran will spend September celebrating King Records Month with a series of performances and a tribute to the iconic locally-produced TV show, Midwestern Hayride

In a conversation with John Kiesewetter, he tells how many King Records artists appeared on the Channel 5 program in the early days; about playing a guitar once played by Hank Williams; and his connection to the "father of the steel guitar,' Jerry Byrd.

John Kiesewetter, who has covered television and media for more than 35 years, has been working for Cincinnati Public Radio and WVXU-FM since 2015.
