broadcasting journalism as it is that what we call it loosely yeah I got into it in the way that a lot of people of my age did from newspaper work a wire service work in my case and my I got my first job in radio as if that was was 47 but I began in the news business in 41 do you remember your first major assignment or your first byline my first byline was came when I was working in the Washington bureau of international news service as a copy boy and all copy boys want to be mistaken for reporters and they're always badgering the editor let me write a story so I wrote a story called a mailer that's a story that's not important enough to go on the wire keeps mail it out there without yes that was my first byline it would be a feature story for example is it true that they would let him and patterned his hairstyle after King Kong not true no that's not sure did you ever have any early broadcasting embarrassments I certainly had some broadcasting embarrassments not always early we elected a pope at a time we thought the smoke was white at the Conclave and in at the Vatican and it wasn't white it turned out to be gray and we were wrong about it unfortunately for us CBS was right about it yes our team did you're seeing that that there was a pope that there wasn't white smoke had gone up and habemus papam we have a pope and then two or three minutes later no habemus papam what about you now we've we've seen you here every venir every day that's a yeah which we can't say that for the rest of the members of the band well you can't be frank yes Frank the drummer Frank the drummer has been able to notice that they were playing with you not present the moment of two ago yes well I thought him with them though that they could do that you gonna save yourself some dough along the way have you no man tell me about your background Frank words you began how'd you get started well I started out trying to play classical music and I became interested in Aragorn I grew up in Harlem and I'm with the music and art high school anybody cares and I grew up of course a foster child and wanting to after I heard Earl Garner I wanted to switch to popular music because he did it for me so that sort of sorted me on the road to popular music and from then on things have been pretty much uphill I guess I've been with many singers you know as musical director Johnny Mathis Chubby Checker Freda Payne John Denver Petula Clark for the longest association and I've done Broadway things you know black one way I did and oh I can't even remember them all no no you and had worked Vegas for a while yet tell me about the Apollo Theater oh yes I'm glad you asked this is this is a legendary thing isn't it yes it is I was fortunate enough to to be around when they had the Amateur Night in Harlem and as a matter of fact I went on as an amateur and I won two weeks in a row first prize which was at that time $15 which is not that and the competition is just very yesterday the third week I played something from showboat that nobody recognized I got third prize then I used to hang around the theater because I wanted to get the job as the musical accompanist and so I persisted and I guess I felt sorry for me so they gave him the job and then Johnny Mathis had heard of me there and then that's how I started working for all these singers who else worked at the Apollo or came out of a lot of people I think Sarah Vaughan did I know Millie Jackson a people like that Barbara McNair with whom I was associated at one point and many singers that I can't even remember now is it still operating I don't think so no I think that it's defunct I think they have had several musicals in the past you know like Miss truth Lewis Johnson a spectacular but I think at the moment it's not there nothing's happening with it I tell you what we get just a second why don't we turn the camera around here and we'll say hello to the guys introduce the folks again yes we have Frank Derek on drums
