In the 1980s The Ol' Jaybird created a classic country show called Solid Gold Saturday Night. In the early 1990s the show was moved to Sunday and was appropriately renamed Solid Gold Sunday. After the move to Sunday Solid Gold Sunday was an all day show and would alternate starting with The Ol' Jabird from 6am-12pm and end with Danny White from 12pm-6pm until the Ol' Jaybird died in 1998.
