When producer Sam Lovullo came to Nashville to do a summer music replacement show in 1969, Schulman rounded up a bunch of struggling country artists, and Hee Haw was born. Friends had last held a candlelight vigil for Schulman just three weeks ago, not far from the downtown bench on which he often sat, wearing his Hee Haw overalls and a ball cap, and holding his beloved poodle, Sweetie. After his death, several high-profile friends helped persuade the television show America's Most Wanted to run the story of his killing. The show netted several leads, but none were instrumental in finding Pence, police said. Investigators ventured to Florida, Oregon, Canada, Georgia and California tracking down potential suspects before arresting Pence in Nebraska yesterday.
Friends hope the charges stick.
Malcom Hare, owner of Bourbon Street Blues and Boogie Bar on Printers Alley, bought the Rainbow Room after Schulman's death and converted it into storage for his business. He enters the old Rainbow Room daily. It'll be better now if they really found the person. It's going to be a lot easier now. Associated Press content is Copyrighted by The Associated Press.
