General Note
The Suwannee River Jamboree was north Florida's largest and best known country music show. The Jamboree began in 1952 and was founded by Norm Prostman, who owned WNER and WQHL Radio in Live Oak. By 1954, the Jamboree featured over 40 performers doing three hour sets every Saturday night. Most of the performers were local North Florida talent.
