Abe Steiner: [[w:Will Rogers|Will Rogers]
I'm one of the oldest theatrical agents in the Mid-South. I book a lot of acts for the Grand Ole Opry. Now, I discovered Hank Snow and Webb Pierce. And the first morning I heard you, I said to myself, Abe Steiner, that man's got power. Not just catchy songs and funny stories. Power. How would you like to come to Memphis, son?...Mr. Rhodes, you put me in mind of ] when he first came to Memphis. I can make you a star, boy, if you put yourself in my hands.
Lonesome Rhodes:
Shucks, mister, I'm just a country boy. I ain't even sure I wanna stay in this danged old radio business.
