Bruce Payne: He was White, of course, and he was a very popular Rhythm and Blues jock. BF: Mm-hm. BP: He was and I would imagine, in fact, I haven’t heard that name in years… Seems like Bob Umbach was the top Rhythm and Blues or what we call oldies now… BF: Mm-hm BP: …DJ, before the Black stations really evolved… BF: That’s right! BP: …into their own thing. you know what I mean? BF: The Atomic Boogie Hour BP: Bob Umbach. That was the station where the Black people got their music. BF: Right. BP: Blues and rhythm and this kind of thing. BF: He’s passed BP: He was on JLD too wasn’t he? BF: Yeah, that’s where he was. That’s where he was until he left town. BP: I remember hearing him. But like I said, when I got there he was already on the air. He was a personality. BF: Right. BP: But the Black stations started evolving and the people started swinging towards the Black stations and Black DJs BF: What do you remember of Walter Anglin? Did you know Walter? BP: Yeah. BF: Was he ever at BCO? BP: I don’t recall him being at B… When I met him, he was at JLD. BF: He was at EDR. BP: No, EDR. He eventually wound up at JLD. BF: Right. BP: In fact, Walter Anglin was one of the originals at EDR. BF: That’s right. BP: Along with Eddie Castleberry, I believe BF: Right. BP: He was a little guy. Another thing I remember about him, I went to school with his son at Miles College. Walter Anglin, Jr. BF: Uh-huh. BP: I knew him almost as well as his father, because we had classes together at Miles. BF: Uh-huh. Right. It’s interesting to speak to people who are way up in their 70s and talk about Walter as being their high school teacher. [laughter] BP: He was a teacher too, in addition to radio work. BF: Right. He taught music and… BP: Who we talking about. We talking about some years back. Cause I’ve been back in Jackson for thirty years. BF: Right.
