Producer Wheeling Jamboree, Inc. 304.907.0306 Friday, February 25, 2011 Country Music Executive and Veteran Broadcaster Charlie Cook joins Wheeling Jamboree board of directors. Charlie Cook is one of the most respected broadcasters in all of radio, revered in Country format, a field in which he has been active for over 35 years. While his talent on the air has been honored, Country radio programming has been his passion. Cook held down key programming positions in New York, in Los Angeles and at the Westwood One Radio Network, where he was in charge of all of their Country Programming. He recently served as VP/Programming for the 52 Country Stations owned by Cumulus Broadcasting. Charlie Cook’s other accomplishments include his 25-year service on the Country Radio Broadcasters Board of Directors, also serving one term as its president. He currently serves on the Board of Directors of both The Country Music Association and The Academy of Country Music. Just last year, Country Aircheck Magazine named Charlie the third most influential person (and top radio person) in Country Music Airplay. Notably to those in Wheeling and in West Virginia, Charlie Cook served as Program Director at “Big Country” 1170 WWVA AM during the era when station owner Emil Mogul changed both the name of the WWVA Jamboree to “Jamboree USA” and his Capitol Theatre to the Capitol Music Hall in 1969.

Director / Producer Wheeling Jamboree, Inc. 304.907.0306 Sunday, July 24, 2011 Wheeling Jamboree takes famous country radio stage show to neighboring Moundsville and newly renovated Strand Theatre for extended run. For nearly 8 decades a Jamboree country music radio stage show has been presented by the various broadcast and entertainment corporations from downtown Wheeling. These Jamboree shows have taken place at many theaters and venues within the City of Wheeling. Those include short runs at The Victoria Theater in 1934 and 2009, The Market Auditorium from 1937-1945, The Virginia Theatre 1946-1962, The Rex Theater 1963-1966, The Wheeling Island Exposition Hall 1966 -1969 and the Capitol Theatre formerly known as Capitol Music Hall. Other short runs have taken place at The Liberty Theater, The State Theater and the Colonial Theater each in Wheeling at various benchmarks in the Jamboree’s history. Now for the first time, neighboring Moundsville will share the heritage of Wheeling’s Country Music Institution, when the current management unit of Wheeling Jamboree, Inc., partners with the Strand Theatre Preservation Society to present the Wheeling Jamboree from the stage of Marshall County’s newly renovated Strand Theatre. The Strand is located about 10 miles south of Wheeling’s downtown and nearby several Marshall County attractions. Coincidently, not unlike Nashville’s Grand Ole Opry House, that is nearly 10 miles from the historic Ryman Auditorium.

  • Junior Norman and the Fugitives: African American Talent Meets the Hillbilly Genre
    Junior Norman and the Fugitives: African American Talent Meets the Hillbilly Genre Rick Shriver Associate Professor of Communication Ohio University Zanesville Campus [email protected] Junior Norman and the Fugitives (African American Talent Meets the Hillbilly Genre) This paper will examine and discuss the musical career and influences of the late Sylva “Catfish” Norman, Junior. “Junior Norman,” as he was known professionally, was an African American singer and musician who lived in Morgan County, Ohio and performed traditional country music and square dance music across Southeastern Ohio, Northern West Virginia and Western Pennsylvania from the mid-1960s through the late-1990s. Junior Norman was arguably the most successful African American country music artist to emerge from the Ohio River Valley in the Twentieth Century. He recorded at least one record in Nashville (“Reflections of a Fool” b/w “A Word or Two to Mary”) and performed regularly on the WWVA-AM “Wheeling Jamboree.” Junior Norman and the Fugitives frequently performed on other radio programs in Marietta and Columbus, Ohio and appeared on television programs in Zanesville, Ohio and Parkersburg, West Virginia. Junior’s band, “The Fugitives,” was at various times composed entirely of African American musicians, several of whom had served time in jail, thus precipitating the name “The Fugitives.” All untrained, but highly skilled musicians, Junior Norman and The Fugitives played to almost exclusively white audiences, in a genre that has traditionally been the restricted domain of white performers. Junior’s music touched literally thousands of lives during his life and career, and yet has not been documented. Junior Norman left a legacy across the Ohio River Valley that includes musical influences on subsequent generations of performers, who will be interviewed for this paper.

Cover A thesis submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Music (Music Education) in the University of Michigan 2016 Thesis Committee: Professor Marie McCarthy, Chair Associate Professor Kate Fitzpatrick Associate Professor Charles Garrett ii © Josephine L. Cover ii iii ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS I would like to thank my husband for his patience with this project that began five years ago. We have three beautiful children, who in their young age are already learning that a family means supporting and loving each other unconditionally, which my husband demonstrates time and time again. I also thank my parents, who watched my children while I traveled to Wheeling for research and interviews, and, who in turn traveled to my home to help out while I wrote this thesis. I would also like to thank my committee members, who devoted much of their time thinking about my thesis, reading drafts, and providing suggestions. Dr. Charles Garrett supported this project and shared his expertise; Dr. Kate Fitzpatrick planted the seed to make the study of early country music in our schools my thesis topic; and lastly, my chair Dr. Marie McCarthy, of whom I have the deepest respect. Through my correspondence with Dr. McCarthy I realized that she is a humble woman who genuinely loves what she does and gives her all to her students. This thesis transformed so many times and Marie was there through it all, encouraging and coaching me every step of the way.

Occasionally the four of us would go out to eat after racing or she would be at Jim and Juanita's house when I would come over to work on the race car.

  • By Ivan M.Tribe. (Lexington: the University Press of Kentucky, 1984
    384 Book Reviews Mountaineer Jamboree: Country Music in West Virginia. By Ivan M.Tribe. (Lexington: The University Press of Kentucky, 1984. Pp. xiii,233. Foreword, preface, notes, bibliography, discography, index, illustrations. $20.00.) Mountaineer Jamboree is a description of commercial country music in West Virginia and a portrait of its practitioners, summarizing the accomplishments of hundreds of artists who flourished from the late twenties to the present. Italso concerns cultural and geographic cate- gories and boundaries. Ivan Tribe begins by inveighing against the musical boundaries drawn by the Anglophile scholars who gathered folk songs earlier in this century, including West Virginia collectors John Harrington Cox, Louis W. Chappell, and Patrick Gainer. These men felt that commercial country music was antithetical to and destructive of the folk music derived from the British Isles. Tribe, like the more recent generation of folklorists, argues that country music is a part of a continuum with noncommercial domestic folk music, and, in any case, itis the music actually produced and consumed by most of the citizens of West Virginia and its neighboring states. Commercial country music dates from the twenties, when folk artists first appeared on the new medium of radio and were added to the roster of performers on phonograph records. Not all artists ap- peared on discs; many more limited their work to radio and personal appearances. Tribe reports that this latter category has been omitted from most of the writtenhistories of country music, since these works have generally been based upon a study of phonograph records, the most durable documents of the art form.
