As Roanoke marks the Mill Mountain Star’s 75th anniversary November 23rd, there is a rare opportunity to hear just how much it meant to the city when the landmark was erected and first lit up. It was a song written, recorded and played on Roanoke radio to celebrate the occasion. WFIR’s Evan Jones goes deep into the vault with the story.
You can hear about 3 minutes of the song here:
Many thanks to former WFIR announcer John Schreiner for the archive material.
