natural aptitude for music which
found expression on the accordian.
He played with local orcheStras
and demonstrated the accordian
for Wurlitzer. Working for Wur-

ent came to the attention of a

and Buddy was asked to join the

Bill Thall, being an accomplish
ed musician, often fills in on var
ious shows. To say he plays a
mean bass fiddle, is putting the
phase mildly. He can knock off
a wicked tune on the "Licorice
Stick" (clarinet), also.
However, the job that he likes
the best, seems to be that of the
star comedian of WLW's Mid

pearances.
The masterful accordian playing
of Beverly Buddy" Ross was
first heard on WLW in 1887 when
he became member of the Rem

gram. For a year he was soloist
or the NBC plantation Party
program when it originated at the
Nations Station. In 1899 he join
ed the act of Hugh Cross on

a member of the Buccaneers and
he stayed with this famous act
until he entered military service
in 1915. Discharged from the,
Army, where he continued with
his music, Buddy returned to

The key of Errie's popularity

it's his versatility with both folk

fans may be attracted by his sim

ton of classic hymns.
Listeners in the southern
