Tommy called Bob Friedman in 2005 letting him know he had a Rhythm and Blues Encyclopedia (actually the Rhythm and Blues Jazz Scrapbook) from 1952, and that Bob Umbach told him to order it by mail. He brought it to the station and donated it to the BBRM. We made him a copy. Tommy also shared what he remembered about Bob Umbach and early Birmingham radio. The above referenced scrap book is provided for review in the BBRM 1952 Ephemera Collection. |
