Two-for-Tuesday with a couple old Lexington Park pictures both with a WPTX reference.
First up is an old photo of Jack Daughtery’s Furniture Store that he later sold to Bill Raley.
I was unaware that WPTX was originally located on the second floor of this building.
However, I do remember WPTX being next door to the Plaza Movie Theater where this photo below was taken. Bobby Kennedy made a campaign stop in Southern Maryland and met the movers and shakers shown here in front of the WPTX radio station.
From left to right, John Hodges, Mockey Guy, Joe Taylor, RFK, Bo Bailey, Harry Lancaster, J. Frank Raley and Frank Combs
Just finished reading Elvis Costello’s autobiography Unfaithful Music. I was going to play Radio Radio for you but found this Radio Sweetheart song below which gives you a better look at how great a songwriter/performer Elvis really is.
