The sweetest gal in town.” Bob Friedman: Now when was your air shift at WBCO? H: You mean the time? B: Yeah, when did you go on the air? H: Ok. I went on the air, I think, about 11. Right after Erskine’s religious program so I think it was 11. It’s been a long time. I think it was about 11 because I had a program from 11 to 11:15 giving out recipes. B: Uh huh. H: 11:15 until about 12 or 12:30, you know, it was just sounds…music. B: What kind of music did you play? H: Oh, beautiful music, Sarah Vaughn, Billy Eckstine, all the old beautiful songs. B: Uh huh. Mostly jazz artists? H: Sometimes on Sunday, ‘cause I had a long program on Sunday, and I would play-just mix it, you know, but during the weekday, because they would get enough blues after I would get off the air, so I played, you know, sentimental music. B: Mmhmm. Mmhmm. And how did you come to be at BCO? When did you start? Do you remember? H: I can’t remember really. I really can’t. I can’t give you a date, a year. We looking at this paper. 1952. So I had been there a year or maybe longer before that paper came out. B: Mmhmm. H: Mmhmm. B: And you remember William Faush? H: Yes. I started working with William before Erskine came in. B: And you remember other people? Who else was there at the time? H: I can’t remember. I really can’t. I can’t remember anyone but William, and I don’t know. B: Now this paper mentions…How did you get started at BCO? H: William Faush called one night. Made a mistake. Dialed the wrong number, and I answered the phone. And he said “what’s your name” and I told him my name was Willa Lee Davis then. No…yeah, Davis, and he said “ooh, your voice is so pretty. How would you like to work in a radio station?” And I thought he was kidding, because I really had never heard that radio station. B: Uh huh. H: And I said “where are you?” and he said “In Bessemer.” And he asked me could I come down there, would my uncle carry me down there the following day, Duration Length of time involved (seconds, minutes, hours, days, class periods, etc.) Full interview: 28 minutes Audio snippet: 2 minutes Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.
