Description:
The official magazine of Kansas City's WHB radio station, SWING printed far more than the station's schedule (which, as the title SWING suggested, relied heavily on music). From 1945 to 1953, SWING offered readers something eclectic every month -- profiles of entertainers on one page, discussions of citizenship in the postwar world on the next, with write-ups of nightlife offerings in KC, Chicago, and New York mixed in. WHB spent decades lobbying the FCC for clear channel status; the magazine's ambitious scope may have been part of the station's attempt to legitimate itself. But it was SWING'S first editor, Jetta Carleton, who later wrote a celebrated novel, that gave the magazine its distinctive style. -- Eric Hoyt, 2015

That's what the Wayfaring Stranger did. You've probably heard him on the record, with his guitar and his quaint, soft voice — half cowboy and half lute-singer, styling old folk ballads in the charmin'est way in the world. Perhaps you saw him in the Theatre Guild production, Sing Out, Sweet Land. At any rate, you've heard of Burl Ives. And even Burl Ives had his housing problems — until a friend of his heard liLm singing one day a certain ballad. The friend wanted that song. He made a bargain. If Burl Ives would teach him the words and music, he in return would give him a place to live. And that's how it happens that Burl Ives lives on a barge. The barge is anchored off Whitestonc Landing in Long Island Sound, and it wasn't long before it was transformed into most comfortable quarters. The main cabin is panelled in pine and has an open fireplace. A bedroom, bath, and kitchenette arc all done up in excellent taste. Oh, yes, there's a sun deck, too. And now, whenever The Wayfaring Stranger has the urge for travel, he has only to pick up his guitar and weigh anchor. —Walter C. Fabell.
