for the richer rewards to be found
up North.
Down in their netive Jackson
vile, the Jubalaires had never
seen snow, but they saw plenty OF
it by the time they reached Phila-
delphia. Their car broke down in
a blizzard, and it wasn't long be-
fore their finances followed suit.
We slept in the park Newson
recalls, until we were able to
get: three meals a day-oatmeaI,
cornmeal and miss-meal."
Odd jobs here and there kept
the cornmeal and oatmeal trickl-

the quartet a job on WCAU, the
CHS station in Philadelphia. There
was steak on the menu frequently.

full of fresh musical ideas, he
heard the Jublaires and decided
that they were the grdhp to ex-
ecute his ideas. The Jubalaires
were as enthusiastic about his ar
ransements as johnson was about
their performance Of them, and
SO the quartet's new style was
born.
One major change that Johnson

Jubalaires, Man
Singing Group Sensation,

A quartet, according to Web
ster, is "a group consisting of
four. A lot Mr.. Webster knows!
The Jubalaires, are a quartet con-
sisting Of five men If you want
to make the score even bigger,
you al run it up 20 seven by in
GLIDING the groups manager-con-
ductor-emcee and it's accompanist.
This makes them a 7-man double
quartet, if you care to look at il
that way.
The group, featured Wednesday
nights over CHS on Rhapsody in
Rhythm" have a second curve ball
ready for you, as soon as you've
mastered their peculiar system of
counting. Nearly everyone auto
matically spells the name "Jubi-
~leers," basing the spelling on the
word, Jubilee" And that is very.
very wrong. They're the Jubalair-
es, and they take their name from
Jubal, Biblical figure who is called
the father Of all harpists and Or
g~anists.
That explains the name. but it
doesn't explain the numerical set
up. There are five of them, but
only four sing on any given song.
Let's say the Jubalaires are do
ing Preacher and the Bear Or
some similar comedy number. In
that case, you'll find Willie John
son singing lead, with John Jenn-
ings second tenor, Ted Brooks bar
ltoe and George McFadden, bass.
On a folk song or spiritual, Caleb
Glnyard takes owe tie lead. John
son slides down from tenor to baN.
son slidestone and Brooks retires
to to the sidelines. A popular tune
finds Jennings singing lead, with
BROOKS back in the lineup as see>
n tenor, and Johnson singing
baritone. Throughout all this shift
ting around, bass George McFad-
den is the only one Of the five
who stays put.
In addition to the five singers.
there's Charley Newson, who COM
bines the functions of manager
conductor and master Of ceremon-
les for concert engagements.
Charley sang as a tenor with the
Jubalaires back in the days when
they did their harmonizing in the
back seat of Ginyard's taxicab. A
throat ailment struck him during
one of their first professional n
gagements, and he hasn't sung
since.
Seventh member Of the quartet
is Smiley Trotman, pianist, who
Joined the group aboue four
months ago.
The Jubalaires probably are the
only act in radio that got it's
start by being arrested for dis
turbing the peace. Back in 1888,
Newson was working as a pastry
baker, Brooks as a truck driver,
and Ginyard as a taxicab driver.
McFadden was the only n who
would have answered singer if
asked his occupation, and he
would have given that reply with
some misgivings.
On the side, the boys sang at
social clubs, school gatherings.
church socials and similar events
in their native Jacksonville, Fla.
After work, they'd 60 off in Gin
yards cab to quiet spot and COM
edy numbers. One hot night, a
policeman Jealous in the presr-
walton of quiet decided that their
harmonizing constituted a breach
Of peace. When the boys ran
through a series Of numbers for
the judge and for Mayor John
Dew, Who happened to be present
theirysentence turnd out to be a
date at a civic luncheon.
A little later, Mayor Dew land
ed the boys jobs as singing wait
ers at Jacksonville's Hotel Sem
mole. And not long afterward,
the Mayor helped finance the boys
