He left KRVN radio's 50,000 watt torch in the western skies to move back home to Virginia, packing his belongings into his Ford F-150 pickup truck and moving van, soon arriving in the great State of Virginia to carry out his mission. Wherever he broadcasts, one thing will remain, "Big Al" Weekley stays true to preserving the history of Bluegrass, Gospel and Country music and enjoys sharing the love of music to all that listen.
