Wayne Daniel wrote Pickin’ on Peachtree, the definitive history of country music in Atlanta. In this segment Wayne talks about a key venue in the early country music scene in the city, the old City Auditorium, where the Georgia Old-Time Fiddlers’ Convention was held between 1913 and 1935.

I worked for Alex Cooley, the concert promoter, in Atlanta from 1970 until 1973. We promoted many rock shows in the Atlanta Municipal Auditorium. 10 Years After, Emerson, Lake and Palmer, Jethro Tull, Alice Cooper, The Band and many many more. A great facility for rock and roll.
