Tennessee Jed
The Joe Hehn Memorial Collection
Tennessee Jed was a juvenile western serial about Tennessee Jed Sloan. With his horse, Smoky, Jed was the "deadliest man with a rifle ever to ride the western plains." The program ran from 1945 to 1948. * * * These recordings are part of the Joe Hehn Memorial Collection. Mr. Hehn (1931-2020) was a pioneering collector of radio recordings when the hobby emerged in the 1960s. Digitizing his collection of reel tapes and discs is the effort of a wide range of North American volunteers, and includes assistance of some international collectors. The groups supporting this effort with their funds, time, technology and skills are the Old Time Radio Researchers and a small group of transcription disc preservationists who refer to themselves as the "The Knights of the Turning Table."
