Swan moved to Hattiesburg, Mississippi and worked in local radio as well as the honky tonk circuit. Disappointed with the drunken, violent lifestyle of honky tonk bars, he quit music to become a disc jockey in 1948, returning only in 1952 after an offer from Trumpet Records. Swan saw success with "I Had a Dream" and "The Last Letter", the latter a tribute to Hank Williams, who had died in 1953. He signed with MGM Records and was groomed to be a successor act to Hank Williams. Source: Last FM#hillbilly #countrymusic #honkytonk #mgmrecords #mississippi #countrysongs #50smusic #discjockey
