GPB's Rosser Shymanski, Star of The American Music Show, Reflects On Decades In Entertainment

For the past three decades, Rosser Shymanski has played a critical
role in almost every program you've watched on Georgia Public
Broadcasting. Shymanski, GPB's television production manager,
retires Friday after 31 years with the organization. He will say
"Aloha" to his colleagues Friday with his final "Hawaiian Shirt
Friday," a tradition that has become a mainstay of GPB, just like
Shymanski himself. But before Shymanski worked behind the scenes
and won the hearts of his colleagues at GPB, viewers around Atlanta
knew and loved him as DeAundra Peek – a character he created and
portrayed for The American Music Show on People TV, a public access
channel, from 1987 to 2004. The full collection is now archived at
Emory University's Rose Library.
