re: Interesting facts about places you've lived

Three of the greatest influencers of 20th century popular music had ties to Shreveport. Hank Williams and Elvis Presley gained stardom as members of KWKH's Louisiana Hayride program held at th Municipal Auditorium. Huddie "Lead Belly" Ledbetter was born in nearby Mooringsport and played on the streets of the St. Paul Bottoms, the area behind the downtown Methodist Church. which was a red-light district in the early 1900s.

George Harrison once stated “If there was no Lead Belly, there would have been no Lonnie Donegan (a British skiffle singer); no Lonnie Donegan, no Beatles. Therefore no Lead Belly, no Beatles.”
