I remember those days. Good Times. Now, which syndicated show are we airing next?
what school did john lashlee teach at?
In 1965 John was my instructor at the school which was about a block off Church street where the old Father Ryan High School was located. I'm guessing about 18th Avenue. At that time, John was the morning joc on WLAC AM. (yes, they played music, Pop) Phil Stanley, later to be at WMAK and on Channel 5 and I were there together, along with Bill Hart who went to Gallatin and WAMG AM.
I want to say the school was the Mid South School of Broadcasting, but am unsure. John and I became close friends and it was because of him I got my first job at WLAC FM. Phil S. and I had gone to Glasgow, Ky and auditioned and had both gotten jobs. Each of us to make 75-dollars a week. They did want me to change my name because the owners of the other station in town were named Sadler. But John knew it would be tough on me with a wife and baby on the way so he convinced Mark Prichard, the PD for LAC AM/FM to hire me to the open mid-day slot on FM. It was easier for me to be close to home and make only $70 weekly than move a new family to Glasgow. I certainly wasn't good enough to deserve being there right out of school.
Later, in about late 1969 John opened his own broadcasting school which was first in an old building at 4th and Shelby and later moved to the floor over the drugstore at 8th and Broad, across the corner from Hume Fogg. Allen Dennis and I were two of the instructors One of my students was now retired Channel 4 weather man Bill Hall. And like John had done for me before, I helped Bill get on at WKDA AM in news. He was good enough. And no, he never played DJ.
Many stories about the good times with Lashlee, who passed away last year, but I'll never put them in print.
In 1980, another broadcasting school came to town and was in the building next to the Clear Channel office where I am now on what was 16th Ave. I was only there for a few months when I was hired by WSM.
There is a CBS Broadcast school in town now and several people here teach classes there.
Thanks Pat for bringing back the memories.

Not sure when it opened but I went to The Nashville School of Broadcasting in the early 80's. It was in the building across from the "UA" tower on Music Row. It taught radio and tv. Bob Hobart ran it and Darrel Dougles was a teacher. (Darrel was the first morning man at WWKX for a wile.) We handled weekends at Lucky 13 and well we sounded like broadcasting students! Chris can tell us all how that went! 
.
