                <text>Box 8 Folder 35: "We are at 35, folder 35, are looking at January 7, 1985. This is a copy of a letter to Mr. Acker at Good News Broadcasting Company, parent company of WAYE, from Mickey Walker, apparently staff from WAYE. There was a SESAC request for information, and Mr. Walker was sending Mr. Acker information on their broadcasting because SESAC does what ASCAP and BMI do...take care of copyrights and publishing rights and get people paid. SESAC has a great deal of gospel music that it broadcasts or that it holds publishing for. There’s also an article that apparently came out around WAYE around the same time, 1985. “WAYE Gets Religion. Now one of 8 Christian radio stations here,”  a Birmingham News article. It mentions that on October 17, 1985, AM 1220's call letters and format changed from easy listening WTWG to WAYE, so that's a helpful piece of information.   Interestingly. station manager Jim Harper mentions at the end of the article that the station is considering Black gospel programming on Sundays...flashback to the 1930's and 40's. From the Bessemer Rd location, found by Bob Friedman."</text>

All the different job descriptions it seems like: news director, media director, chief engineer, general manager, and so forth. And the, let’s see… there are a couple copies of the job descriptions and also a cover letter to the FCC so that the FCC will have a total description of the job descriptions of the employees, and, apparently, that was an effort by George Johnston III, to come into compliance with an FCC requirement after an FCC investigator visited the station.  There are a couple of references to Jimmy Lawson and Willie McKinstry as they were somewhat involved with the record industry. We've attached the letter to the FCC.  Very stringent changes followed this letter in a memo to the staff.   All included in this file and available upon request.  From the WJLD files."</text>

                  <text>In 2009, BBRM staff and volunteers began the archiving of this collection, with the arranging of objects chronologically (1935 – 1995) and the purchasing of proper archival storage materials. In 2011, an oral finding aid with provenance was constructed by conversations between University of Alabama School of Library and Information Studies (UA SLIS) volunteer Lindsey Reynolds (now at University of Georgia, Athens Library) and BBRM Director Bob Friedman. In 2013 and 2014, those interviews were transcribed by UA SLIS volunteer Michael Mitchell (known affectionately as the MMT).  For each object, the original finding aid conversation has been added and can be found in quotes in the description section. As of the most recent online uploading in August, 2019, the Ephemera Collection consisted of eight boxes containing 413 folders with approximately 850 files, spanning the period 1935-1989.</text>

                <text>Box 7 Folder 43: "This is folder 43 from 1979. For some reason,  "3/79" is marked on the back of the photos and some people are wearing warm jackets.  WBUL is being sponsored by Roy Buckner Chevrolet. I think they were located in Bessemer. They were having trundle bed races. This is near as I can tell, that’s what it was called. Crib races or whatever you want to call these things. Where they were having them… I’m not sure where this was taking place. There is a military statue in the background of the picture with Hal Hodgens, who was Sales and General Manager (some say part owner) of WBUL at the time. Tom Gloor was the owner of WBUL and Ron January says he thought when Gloor left WBUL, he took over the Roy Buckner Chevy dealership. Much at WBUL, I'm told, was managed by a woman, Lynn Spivey.  Looking at both pictures though, it seems the youngster driving the bed is having the most fun.  But anyway very very little info we have… we have more on WBUL now thanks to Manuel Fitch, but for a while we had very little info on that station.

&#13;
Curtis Bell: I was actually ten, when I, you know, cause I used to go home, practice and I was everybody. I was Tall Paul, I was everybody. Anybody that was on the radio, I said, “I could do it.” So I would change my name to their name and try to work on skills and practice intro-ing records and ah, radio was very important when it comes to timing, and it’s like you have to be, you know, very, ah, precise with your timing and so I was just really fascinated with that. And I-&#13;
&#13;
Bob Friedman: Is that, now when, when you’re ten years old in 1972, uh, twelve or whatever- &#13;
&#13;
CB: 1972, yeah&#13;
&#13;
BF: Um, you’re in school, yes?&#13;
&#13;
CB: I’m in school.&#13;
&#13;
BF: Where are you going to school?&#13;
&#13;
CB: I went to school at Lewis Elementary at that time and they had a program, ah, that was designed for people with disability like myself. And ah, my teachers and- &#13;
&#13;
BF: Can you describe your disability?&#13;
&#13;
CB: I’ll elaborate on my disability, which I have cerebral palsy. And ah-&#13;
&#13;
BF: Were you born with cerebral palsy?&#13;
&#13;
CB: I was born with cerebral palsy, yes. I came in fighting…I was fighting for my life, so, and still fighting [laughs] and still today, so, I- and it’s very, you know it’s very interesting to me to-to want to do radio and- and after I started getting around, and hanging around different people, ah, it just really just blew my mind, and said “I want to do this.” And someone ah, by the name of Eddie Young, he was uh one of those fly-by-night jocks that came in at BUL radio. And they would actually- he did it, and John Ray did it, and when I mean that, they would actually pick me up in their arms.</text>
