I remember hearing his name on the radio in Douglas Georgia. I think he was a C&W singer, fiddle player, radio DJ, and did some wrestling promotions.He worked in Alabama, Georgia, and South Carolina.
Here is a song by him I found on You Tube:

Hey Wayne, out in SoCal years ago on the old Town Hall Party show there was a cast member named "Quincy Snodgrass"... I wonder if they were related at all?....JH in Va.

I don't believe they were related. It appears they both liked the name for it's comedy appeal. It wasn't their real last name.
I found this:

Elmer Snodgrass (Louis Johnson Smith) was my grandfather. He was a disc jockey, civic promoter and member of the Musical Pioneers. Originally from Alabama, he died in 1970 and is buried in Greenville, SC.
