A musician friend of mine is trying to interest me in doing a monthly Prairie Home Companion type show in a local theater. I had heard of “It’s Wheeling Steel” before but was reminded of it when I came upon your site. Fascinating concept wasn’t it.

My dad’s family goes back about 6 generations in Martinsburg, WV, so that’s my connection to the region.

Also, try the sound recordings division of the Library of Congress, at this link: http://bit.ly/xlT5P

Also wondering where one might find recordings of some of the shows.

Thanks for your time and interest.

As of January 1, 2009, Wheeling-Pitt is part of Severstal, a Russian steel manufacturing conglomerate.”
