THE L.IS'TEIMIIM* IS EASY
For the "real jazz'" in pops, take Larry Brown s '^postgraduate course" on WPEN
Nothing like an early start on ear-training.
Pacemaker on the job, LB.'s a funmaker at home, as Alma and he keep the kitchen routine flexible.
Gary, at seven, is quite a Western fan. Fact that Mom and Dad are all ready for an evening out doesn't faze young "Wyatt."

WELL ALONG in a successful acting career, Larry Brown called it quits, kaput, and curtains, and joined the staff of WPEN in Philadelphia. Though his young good looks would belie it, Larry's been with the station for eight years, taking an active part in civic affairs on the side and, at frequent intervals, conducting record hops for the Quaker City teenagers. Deejay L.B., as he is known about town, was born in New York City, educated in the Gotham public schools and at Columbia University, where he majored in journalism. ... As a nephew of famed old-time comic Willie Howard, Larry was born and bred to show business. Yet friends and fans who firmly believe his teething ring was a waxed disc find it hard to imagine Larry's first radio jobs were dramatic and that, while still in school, he was a featured player on such well-known daytime serials as Myrt And Marge, Little Orphan Annie and Jack Armstrong. . . . Larry's three years as a GI gave him time to think things through. An actor's
life was fine but, for an irrepressible youngster, something was decidedly lacking. Melody, harmony and rhythm — and it didn't take him long to make the discovery. The blues, in particular, fascinated Larry. And he spent much of his spare time, too, studying and listening to the music of each country where his Army outfit was posted. . . . Following his mustering-out, Larry worked at NBC in a non-musical capacity. Then, tiring of that liltless life, he headed for WPEN, where he's been permanently stationed, spinning the discs and chinning the chatter that have earned him a reputation as one of Philly's most popular radio personalities. . . . 950 Cluh, heard daily from 3 to 7 P.M., is L.B.'s dreamcome-true. It's the most-listened-to afternoon program in the area, showcasing all the Brown musical and interviewing know-how. Married to a former fashion model and father of two sons — Gary, seven, and Jonathan, two — Larry's at home in a split-level ranch-type home in suburban Broomall.
