September 6, 1975, I recorded the Philadelphia Bell at Charlotte Hornets WFL football game from the WBT-1110 AM broadcast on my cassette tape player. I named this Web site after the liner Harold Johnson said prior to every commercial break... This is the Charlotte Hornets Football Network.
When I started this Web site I used that crackling recording from my original cassette tape for a voiceover as part of the introduction on our "Home" page.
Recently, I contacted "The Big
Guy", Harold Johnson, and asked him to record a fresh version of that
voiceover. Harold was more then happy to comply.
A "Special
Thanks" to Harold Johnson and Charlotte's WSIC-AM Program Director,
Brian
Weiss for the new updated liner for our Web site. Thank you both...
Harold, you're the best!
