I never knew they had West Virginia roots. As a struggling musician, it shows me this dream is possible.

At 4:05, do you have the first episode of Austin City Limits from January 3, 1976? The first program featured Asleep at the Wheel and Texas Playboys. It has the slate and countdown at the beginning, 1976 KLRN logo, intro with soundcheck, closing with a shot of an empty stage, funding credits, and the 1971 PBS logo at the end.
