Paul Harvey - A Poor Boy with Guitar was Not Allowed Inside, He's Allowed Now - Rest of the Story

Lonzo Green, a well-known musician, was a stranger in town. He and his wife were just visiting. He was unfamiliar with the local customs and taboos. He was surprised to learn that a friend of his nephew, a quiet and shy fifteen-year-old boy, was not allowed inside the house. He, the boy, was from the wrong side of the tracks, the poor section of town. Some people called him white trash. Lonzo learned that the boy had his own guitar but did not know how to tune it. Remember, the boy was unwelcome inside the home. Learn more in Paul Harvey's "The Rest of the Story."

Everyone should listen to Paul Harvey’s speech (If I were the devil).

I miss Paul Harvey. It is 2023 and I am 65. I had many, many years of enjoyment listening to his tales.

[centexan]

Paul Harvey was possibly the best spokesman on the American experience. I rarely missed either his 15 minute program or The Rest of the Story . He was truly special.

[PALM]

I’m sure Elvis never forgot that man. I’m sure he thought about him often especially when tuning his guitar.
There’s a saying that goes… You can tell the character of a man by the way, he treats people that have nothing to offer him.
This man’s character if everybody had it, would make this world a hell of a lot better place.

Thanks, Brad. I'm 64, and in my youth, during lunch breaks, I, along with others, listened to Paul Harvey. Times change, and I'm sure Mr Harvey would have a lot to say about these times we live in. Gone now, my hope is, if he were still broadcasting, to hear him say, "The one thing that hasn't changed is 'Jesus Christ, for He is the same yesterday, today, and forever Shall be.' And that ladies and gentlemen is the rest of the story."

I was the kid from the wrong side of the tracks. I had 2 friends in school. Their parents wouldn’t allow them in my neighborhood, but I was always welcome at their homes.
It truly showed me a different kind of life. One I wanted. Because of them, and others, encouraging me I got that life. I am forever grateful to Carol and Earnest and their families for giving me a chance. 💕

We need a Paul Harvey on the radio today. On TV I miss Charles Kuralt's On The Road series. They were both great story tellers.

Paul Harvey is a person I remember and really liked from my youth hearing him on the radio. I remember everyone quieting to see if they could figure out what he was talking about before he revealed it. Those were great times, thanks for bringing them back today, I had almost forgot what that time truly felt like! And hearing his voice again was a great thing to hear!

[bonnieboyd]

I truly miss Paul Harvey. I listened to him every day. So did my mother and grandmother.

[Ackermanmedia]

My Grandfather used to listen to Paul Harvey while we worked in the apple orchards in Yakima WA. My grandfather was the kindest, hardest working man I've ever known. He is responsible for who I strive to be every day. Told me to be genuine, responsible, kind and always work hard not only for your family but for those who aren't as fortunate as we are. His generation will be missed as they would look around today and be ashamed they fought for the freedoms that politicians today have destroyed and taken away.

My life and career was fostered on the talents and career of this fine man. In the 1960's I'd wake up early every single morning to listen to Paul's broadcast as my father ate his morning breakfast, hours before school, hours before I needed to wake up, but simply because it was "Today's Lesson, from Paul Harvey." that was 1964, in 1972 I went to work at PBS as a news writer, in 1973 as a senior reporter and chief commentary reporter. In the years between 1978 and 2004 I worked for nearly every major television network around the world, in 2005 I produced and directed the largest and broadest reaching live corporate news event in world history (Guiness Record) and still today, I produce live surgical television broadcasts to train physicians all over the world to promote better and safer medical practices.

Humble beginnings... Fostered and Mentored by the man from Tulsa, Oklahoma and a young, wide-eyed boy who wanted to become a newsman.
..Now you know, the rest of the story.

I remember listening to Paul every morning on my dad's clock radio. I loved waking up to that voice.

[johnhennery]

Paul Harvey was the best R.I.P. Paul Harvey you are dearly missed.❤

[lawrence]

Back in the late 70's, the place I worked would stop all the equipment and anything else that made noise, and we'd all listen to the rest of the story on a small radio. It was on at 12Noon daily, and was the best thing I heard each day. I really miss Mr. Harvey, and glad to have found him here on youtube. Thanks.

[DebadooCreates]

I also really miss Paul Harvey. I always wondered where he got the huge collection of stories he told. His voice is surely one of the most recognizable for us older folks. I knew the kid would be someone famous. I first thought BB King, but then realized it would end up being Elvis. Thanks for sharing his stories!

[StvMcQueen]

There has never been a singer since and there will never be another ever than could match the sweet depth and tremelo of Elvis Presley. When God made Elvis, he broke the mold.

[terryenyart]

Loved hearing Paul Harvey! We all could use his wisdom again!

[bcrater]

Elvis was from Tupelo, Mississippi, not Tennessee. Great story, as usual. Harvey was a master storyteller.

[kevinjackson]

Worked on construction sites years ago, and even in the most remote locations we could pick up Paul Harvey during lunch and listen to his stories... a fond memory. Miss your story tell Paul Harvey.

[janetcrumley]

Yes, growing up in the sixties, Paul Harvey and Elvis were part of that era, both providing some of the greatest memories of those years. Times have changed so much and those wonderful memories and experiences will never return. Miss them both!
