This summation of race disc

of the proof that local platter

By STANLEY (SWEETs) SWEETING

Nothing is refreshing during the early morn

by local radio stations WFEC and WMBM, and pro-
pounded by two female disc Jockeys Misses Leona

accepted more graciouSly through
the knowledge that both WFEC
and WMBM are "Negro Program
med" in their entirety. Miss Ev-
erett, a former underStudy of
Miss McRae when the latter spun
spiritual platters for WFEC, took
over June's assignment on the
1920 spot after McRae pulled up
stakes and switched her "record

very popular Jockey Club"
brought to listeners twice daily
by hilarious Jockey JACK, the
chatter spinner, who, perhaps, has
more platter fans than any of the
local jockeys. A former WMBM
favorite, Jockey Jack" Gibson,
now on the WF'EC payroll, is the
top dilineator of 1--WE, jump and
jam, as the bobby-sox clan liter
ally eats up his daily helpings of
platter and chatter. His original
ooh, You Know YEAH" h a s
caught ON like forest fire and
is repeated by young and old,
alike, both here and in the Ba-
hamas.
."Oh, You Know YEAH" is just
one of his many identities. Jockey
Jack has adopted "Tiger" as his
decription of a pretty girl. He has
labeled himself the Nassau Dad
dy", because q his liking for
Nassau and the ISLAND hospitality.
And while the quotation "And I
Amt Lying, Either" is not ex-
actly original "a Silas Green
comic. brought us that he has
popularized the gimmick on two
continents. The Jockey" has also
tagged himself the "Old Pres"
all of which goes as definite
seller when he gives out with the
commercials.
Mr.. Gibson can truly be labeled
the Ambassador of Goodwill"
for. he has done more, via the
ether waves, to sell" Nassau and
the Bahama isles than any other
disc jockey in history. There's a
rather tricky voice behind all this
tomfoolery that's all Jacks. While
there is no particular liking for
the sentence construction or cor
rect English used in Jacks de-
hverance, the way he does it is
hilariously entertaining. But,
don't be misled; out of character
Jack is an intelligent individual,
a devoted family man, a regular
fellow and he's just as "Boop-a-
doopiSh" among his friends and
admirers along the boulevards as
he gives out to his thousands OF
radio listeners. His time is 1912
am. 1-3 pm.
Rotund Ed Cook, king of the
newscasters, is WMBM's "Red
Hot and Blue" conductor. Never
before has Miami or the South
had a more listened-to news COM
mentator than jovial Ed. His has
often been likened to Graham Nc
Nance or Lowell Thomas. An
other of the popular personnel of
Negro-programmed radio sta
tons, Eds voice has ofttimeS
been thought to be that Of a Cau-
causian. His growl deliverance Is
mystifying and gripping, and is
so powerful in its make that ii
holds his audiences Cat 800 on the
dali attention from start to fin
ish. Cooks captivating "Now,
Amt I Got Your" and "That's My
Boy!" are his identities, and with
a Jockey Jack Tempo, he lets out
with a healthy guffaw each time
he repeats them.
The team of Ed Cook and Jock
ey Jack used to be powerful and
popular WMBM combo. The two
Jockeys used to rib each other
into misunderstanding stitches.
Theirs was hard to beat, for, be-

would knock you for a terrific

June McRae (who shifted from
WFEC) bear the brunt of the
WMBM all-day listening. And
you haven't heard anything (and
know you have) if you fail to
listen to Ed Cooks spiritual
awakening, "Old Ship of Zion"
during the early morning hours,
'as it sails gently down the
stream"
A kid that's definitely headed
for the higher brackets, that is,
if he hasn't already attained that
goal, is likeable Rocky, the WFEC
stalWart. Rocky, with his 3 to 5:45
Ebony Express" is truly big
time. Taking over from Terry
CID Johnston, who took over
from Johnny (JD Johnston,
Rocky is first of the local big
time operators. His show is a
''must" on every radio dial in
range of the 1920 listeners. This
boy Rocky reels off a line of
comerical chatter that brings in
the WFEC sponsors like flies
latch onto pies. Which, of course,
makes Messrs Schoor and Co.
very, very happy.
Unlike Jockey Jack, who ap-
parently highlights his program
with the Blues variety, Rocky
leans towards Bop and jam. Oc-
casionally they intersperse, but
the distinction is there. All of

popular as Joe Louis in boxing

The breadwinnerS of the Bondu
family are Dave and Mamie Bon
du, hailed far and near as "Mr.
and Mrs. Swing" of radioland.
Both are with the WMBM family
of all-starS and bring to radio
listeners daily program of di-
versified entertainment. They are
the only man and wife radio team
in the circuit, and while their
program is geared to an all
family calibre of entertainment
pleasure, their famous "kiddie
hour" is best known. There is an
occasional guest star appearance
on the Swing" show with inter-
views by the Bondu family. A
line of atter-at-random with
commercials all ways follow the
spinning of a rhythm, blues OF
spiritual wax, and this combina-
ton of platter merely props Mr..
and Mrs. Swing for the gabfest
and ribbing that's sure to follow.
It's hilarious in spots, serious in
some, pleasurable in others. And
whatever the shortcomings may
be on the Mr.. and Mrs. Swing
show, one thing is certain - the
pertness and good looks of Mrs.
