Singing deejay Carl Stuart presents live and recorded country music.
Home is a five-room ranch-style house in the region Carl and his mother love.
A young man from Kansas, Carl Stuart — wearing a broad-brimmed hat under which the eyes twinkle and the grin is wide and handsome — brings a breath of fresh mountain air to the very pleased residents of Boston and all points within hearing range of Station WCOP. Twenty-six-year-old Carl plays recorded country music and sings, to his own guitar accompaniment, as he stars on Hayloft Jamboree, heard weekdays from 9 P.M. to midnight, and Saturdays from 8 P.M. to midnight. Carl also devotes some time on each program to inspirational music. He feels — and his listeners' reactions bear him out — that America is returning to its deepseated belief in God. . . . Carl's career started with long-hair music but, in between lessons in classical piano playing, he would listen to country music on the radio. One day he borrowed his brother's guitar and, after that, the piano ran a poor second. Today, Carl owns four guitars, including the one he borrowed from his brother Alfred. The family still argues about whether Carl ought to return this one. . . . Carl's professional radio debut came in 1939 and, between then and 1948, his role as a country and folk singer took him all over the eastern part of the United States. The Stuarts fell in love with New England and, in 1948, they settled there and Carl began broadcasting on Massachusetts stations and leading an eleven-piece band at personal appearances. . . . During the Korean war, Carl served with the Armed Forces Special Services, entertaining troops throughout the country. Then, in 1953, he became singing deejay on Hayloft Jamboree. . . . Last February, Carl realized a long-held ambition when he guested on Grand Ole Opry. Featured at the recent World's Championship Rodeo in the Boston Garden, Carl played a big part in drawing the capacity crowd of more than 13,000. . . . One of Boston's most eligible bachelors, Carl lives with his mother and brother in, naturally, a ranch house in near-by Randolph. There are no horses or cattle within twenty miles but the neighbors enjoy Carl's exuberant bursts of "Home on the Range" and watching him leave for work in his "country" clothes. And, judging by the mail that pours into WCOP's studios, most everybody in Boston feels mighty neighborly toward this easygoing guy with a guitar, Carl Stuart.
