I've been meaning to post this for a couple of days now.

RIP Frank Page, who died Jan. 9 at the age of 87. He was a longtime KWKH announcer and voice of the Louisiana Hayride. He was known as the man that introduced the world to Elvis.

This day in History: December 15

1956, Elvis Presley gave his final performance on Louisiana Hayride, a live radio program that was broadcast on KWKH in Shreveport, Louisiana. Presley made 50 appearances on the show. At the end of the show, Horace Logan first made the now legendary phrase ‘Elvis has left the building’. Thanks Horace for the great rock n roll catch phrase!
