                <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 6 Folder 20: "This is folder 20, which is a list from… it looks like the list from Freddie Waters who was a listener to WJLD. Some of the people that he remembered that were on ZZK-FM before it got sold, and he lists Bill Smith (also known as Willie Caruthers - "Father Tree,") Bob Shivers, Jim Young, Bobby Gilmore, Bill Levi (also Father Tree), Bill Thornton, Wayne Braden, Bill Coleman, Artie Draycos. Arty Draycos apparently played Greek music on WJLN (11A-Noon). Also lists Johnny Austin, James Freeman, and Willie Walter Coleman… I’m sorry, is that William Glover…? No, it’s Walter Coleman. Anyway, not exactly sure what more can be made of this. The most significant thing about it probably that Freddie was such a devoted fan.  He called my radio show often from Talladega. He was blind and attended their school.  He really knew his stuff.  Thank you Freddie Waters."</text>
