Bob Friedman: John Broadnax. BE: Who was a piano player. He played. He had a 15-minute program once a week and it was on Friday nights for McClure Furniture Company in Bessemer. John came up and played the old piano in the studio. BF: [laughter] BE: Every week. Oh, there are 10 million stories you could think of about that crazy radio station. BF: Tell me that guy’s name again? BE: John Broadnax. BF: John Broadnax. B-R-O-A-D-N-A-X. BF: He played the, there was a piano at the station and he played the piano. BE: Yeah. BF: It was a 15-minute show. What kind of music did he play? BE: He played whatever. Everything from “Pistol Packing Mama” to gospel. BF: uh-uh. BE: He’d just get in there and play away. [laughter] BF: You say somebody sponsored him? BE: Yeah, McClure Trading company. It was a furniture store in Bessemer. BF: Mm-hm. BE: They sponsored him. We would put John Broadnax up to play “Beer Barrel Polka”, because Mr. Doss wouldn’t let us play it. BF: He didn’t want you to play polka? BE: He didn’t want the word “beer” mentioned on the station. BF: Oh, I see. BE: And we would put John Broadnax up to it. We could play “Here comes the Navy” which was a “Beer Barrel Polka” with different words. But we could not play the “Beer Barrel Polka”! [laughter] BF: [laughter] And Sadie Mae Patterson, I was told, gave Alex Bradford a shot on the air. BE: Yeah, that’s right! We also had a remote and a little funeral parlor. Oh my gosh! BF: Do you remember a little about Sadie? Or John, what they looked like? And God knows, if there are pictures of any of these people? BE: I doubt that there are. You know, we didn’t make picture then. BF: Of course, not. BE: That’s what’s so strange. And I late became a commercial photographer. BF: Oh really? BE: Yeah!
