Horace “Hoss” Logan: A Shreveport Legend
Being born a native Louisianan in Mer Rouge, and raised in nearby Monroe, Horace Logan Jr. couldn t have had any idea the influence he would have on popular music.
Not long after landing in Shreveport, Logan got a job at KWKH (now 1130AM The Tiger) at 16 years old after winning a contest. Even at 16, Horace Logan had a deep and booming voice. After announcing for several years, Logan took over as Program Director at KWKH in 1947. The following year, in 1948 Logan started booking acts for a live music program that would become the famous Louisiana Hayride.
