Kwto radio

Resumed her work in Springfield, it was through a radio show on local radio giant KWTO in 1945. The move completing her rise to the second communications giant in the Ozarks, and the paper in which she initially grew her legacy carried an ad of her newest venture in September 1945.Another moment of significance arrived in 1950, when McCord was unanimously chosen as Missouri’s Mother of the Year out of 30 nominees by the Golden Rule Foundation.“One radio executive wrote the award committee that Mrs. McCord ‘could have been a great radio personality in the Midwest,’ but that she preferred to be mother and grandmother. He recalled, too, that during the war, mothers besieged her daily for comfort and that she gave unstintingly of her sympathy, though their heart-breaking stories kept her in constant emotional turmoil.” Sunday News and Leader; Sept. 30, 1945 It’s not immediately clear when her KWTO show ended, but it at least went through the early 1960s.For much of that decade, she was still active, giving presentations and meeting her fans. There are 125 hits for May Kennedy McCord’s name in Springfield newspapers from 1960 to 1970, a great many – at least in the early part of the decade – telling of her presence at civic and social events as an Ozarks authority. One event of particular note came in 1961, when she sang at today’s Wilson’s Creek National Battlefield for the 100th anniversary of the battle. It was 65 years after she first sang there as a teenager for a group of Civil War veterans.“Sunday night Mrs. McCord was one of the entertainers in the program given at the battlefield, and among the ballads she sang was ‘I’m a Poor Rebel Soldier,’” noted the paper. “A member of the audience, Clayborn Thomas, who has lived all his life within a mile of the battlefield, told Mrs. McCord he heard her give the oration at the reunion.”By the end of the decade, McCord’s health began to decline. One of her final public appearances came in 1966, the Daily News noted, when she “stopped the show” at the famed annual Arkansas Folk Festival in Mountain View, which back then was just its fourth year. The next year, she experienced a heart attack, which received ongoing coverage in the local newspaper. She moved to a nursing home, where she lived until she died in 1979 at age

Hillbilly Heartbeats - May Kennedy McCord Audio CollectionMay Kennedy McCord (1880-1979) was a celebrity of radio and early television. She was known as “Queen of the Hillbillies”.For eleven years, McCord had a column in the editorial section of the Springfield News-Leader called “Hillbilly Heartbeats”. This column was full of reminiscence of the Ozarks regional past, with stories of folktales, ghost stories, old recipes, and “the old ways”. Her writings were extremely popular, and she gained quite a following. She had not even begun her writing career until the age of 40.From 1942 to 1945, May gained some experience in broadcast radio, talking to listeners about the Ozarks on KWK in St. Louis.The success and popularity of her Hillbilly Heartbeats newspaper column, in part lead to a radio career with a fifteen-minute program every Saturday morning on KWTO radio out of Springfield, Missouri; also called Hillbilly Heartbeats. May McCord became an active leader and participant in many organizations including: All-Ozarks Folk Festivals, Missouri State Writers Guild, Ozarks Creative Writers’ Guild, Ozark Press Association, Missouri Federation of Women’s Clubs, Springfield Musical Club, National Folk Lore Society and Society of Ozarkian Hillcrofters.

A Springfield Chamber meeting has gone down in history tied to that festival, given a strong difference of opinion in promotion of rural Ozarkers, and preserved in the Daily News: “J.T. Woodruff, president of the Chamber of Commerce, declared he was very much in favor of the folklore festival but that some of the more cautious members of his organization were ‘afraid you folklore people will go to St. Louis with a lot of rough stuff.’ “‘Harold Bell Wright knew very little about the Ozarks,’ declared Mr. Woodruff, ‘and Vance Randolph got in with the wrong type and considered them typical.“Following his talk, Mrs. May Kennedy McCord, regional director for the festival, who was presiding, arose to assert. ‘Folks, I just adore Mr. Woodruff but I consider Vance Randolph the greatest living authority on the Ozarks.’ Intervention by Mrs. Harvey H. Webb prevented an incipient debate on ‘What is Authentic in Ozarks Literature?’” Looking back, the answer was in McCord’s work. By the time of the impromptu debate, McCord had ascended to a place in one of the two major regional communications platforms of the time: Springfield Newspapers, Inc., for which she began writing a weekly Sunday column under the same name. Back then, the reach of the newspapers was significant, as was radio giant KWTO, which wove into the hills and hollers and reached the region in a new way.McCord’s first Springfield newspaper column appeared in October 1932, and was heralded by the Sunday News and Leader. Sunday News and Leader; Oct. 22, 1932 A few pages into the paper, McCord doesn’t give a formal introduction but instead shares her spirit and hope – both for the column, and what she and readers may create together. Here is part of what she wrote: “This is a new column, and it is going to be yours as well as mine. Tell me what you know about this hillbilly. We never tire of hearing about him. He is getting a lot of front page stuff nowadays and takes his seat in the front row among the notables present. All sorts of inspired ink is being spilled about him. “I love the hills. The song of the hills has all my life been my song of love. I love the adventure t’other side of the mountain. I am the shiftless, restless critter with the itching wanderlust. I want to find the foot
