Dixie would wake many of us up on our way to school, as
the Kentucky Colonel, Ernie Lee did the morning show on WTVT Ch
13 from 1958 until 1991. He hosted Good Day with his
friends Herb & Kay. Then there was Breakfast Beat
with Bruce Hutchcraft, and finally Pulse Plus. Barefoot
Brownie Reynolds would play bass with Ernie, while Jerry Bird
was the guitar man. At the end of each program, Ernie would address
his wife on camera and say "Put on the coffee pot, Jeanie.
I'm comin' home." Ernie Lee passed away in the late 90's, he
will always be remembered.
