Michael Dooley's
interview with Craig Yoe.
Thanks to the great scans of Roger Langridge, here's our latest
Barney batch, picking up where we left off in February with the October 24, 1926 page. This group takes us to the end of 1926 and raises the question: Did
Amos 'n' Andy get the phrase "Holy Mackerel!" from Billy DeBeck?
Amos 'n' Andy didn't begin on radio until March 19, 1928, but Freeman Gosden and Charles Correll did broadcast their earlier
Sam 'n' Henry beginning January 12, 1926. Abba dabba wu!
