Moi non plus je ne connaissais pas, c'est en faisant l'éphéméride que je les ai découvert.
Captain Stubby and The Buccaneers.
Though he started out as Tom back in 1918, he forever became known as Captain Stubby starting in 1938. Along with some friends from Indiana Central University he went into the music business (back then they were the Six Hoosiers). George Biggar (discoverer of Gene Autry and the Hoosier Hot Shots among many others) heard the boys on WDAN (a little 250 watt station in Illinois) and turned his car around, headed to Danville and signed the boys up on the spot to be on WLS in Cincinati - the most powerful station in America. A tour entertaining sailors interrupted his professional career for a time but after the war a stint in New York lead to National Barn Dance fame and a recording career that spanned decades. Tom left us in 2004 but his music will be around us forever.
After ABC cancelled the Barn Dance, our Captain and crew moved over to WGN and to Polka Go-Round on ABC TV.
By the way, his famous washboard is to be on display at the Cass County Historical Museum. Over the years the Buccaneers had few personnel changes. Below is a listing of the key players: Accordian: Peter Kunatz (piano), Buddy Ross, Tony Walberg, Pete Kaye Guitar/Banjo: Sonny Fleming, Chuck Kagy (fiddle/madolin), Curly Myers Bass Guitar: Tiny Stokes Clarinet/Flute: Jerald Richards Washboard: Captain Stubby
Fans room is coming. In the meantime, here are some of Barbara Stodden's pictures and memories (from the days when she was sweet 16)... I am sending along some photos, one of all the Bucs, one of me with Stubby, and one of my brother Allan and me with Tiny Stokes. These were taken in 1953 at the Eighth Street Theatre -- before the days of good color film, so they were black and white. The one with all the Bucs was taken in the little balcony studio there where they broadcast a program while the theater was emptying out and refilling for the second show. Several times our family would travel from Wisconsin to Chicago to see the live broadcast of the National Barn Dance. We always bought tickets for both shows. The night the studio picture was taken Tiny had invited my brother and me to come to the studio when they were broadcasting that show. The announcer was Jack Holden, standing beside Stubby. Tiny is in the middle in the back. I am standing between Stubby and Sonny Fleming. Jerry Richards is kneeling in front. Pete Kaye is on accordion. He started playing with them after Tony Walberg was killed in an auto accident. In the background you can just see the dress and legs of Sonny Fleming's wife. Unfortunately, we didn't realize until after we got the pictures back that you couldn't see her face.

Captain Stubby and and the Buccaneers
WLS National Barn Dance
Captain Stubby's Buccaneers were a group of five country boys were in the United States Navy together and when they got out of the service, they had some ideas about entertainment. They appeared on WLS around the early 1950s and were known to do good music and some great comedy effects. They also did well in more serious tunes as noted by their "Hymn Time" program. They were know for some hilarious comedy routines and the versatility they showed with the fifteen different musical instruments to go along with their vocal harmonizing. Captain Stubby started his first musical group when he was just in high school. Later, when attending at Indiana State College, he met Jerry Richards and persuaded him to change from "long hair" to novelty tunes. As a team, they won their college theatre's contest. That summer, "Tiny" Stokes joined them to make it a trio. A Cowboy Songs article in 1952 shed some more details about how the group came about. Captain Stubby was a freshman at Indiana Central College and happened to hear a sound of clarinet that captivated him. It was being played by Jerry Richards. Stubby at the time was playing a variety of instruments, including a 'gizmo' that was basically a washboard. They began tinkering with some of the classical tunes. Eventually three others joined Stubby and Jerry, and they became the talk of the campus. World War II came along and all three of them joined the Navy. There, they met Tony Walberg and then they had a foursome. It wasn't too long before they met Sonny fleming and he became the fifth member. The group appeared on the "Meet Your Navy" radio program. They toured the USA and overseas, and got a lot of laughs wherever they went and brought a great deal of cheer to the folks at the hospitals they visited. Tiny Stokes joined the group after the other fellows had seen him in action at a personal appearance in Frankfort, Indiana. He was singing 'Freight Train Blues' at the time and got their immediate attention. Later, he accepted their offer to join the group. Later on, they were sponsored by a midwestern livestock feed company and did personal appearances at various business functions in the sales territory of the company. It wasn't too long before the company got them a gig on radio station WDAN in Danville, Illinois and that gave them their start in radio. They spent about 18 months at WDAN, then moved to the powerhouse WLW station in Cincinnati, Ohio. They stayed there until World War II broke out and rather than wait, they enlisted as a group. But only three of them were accepted by the U.S. Navy. When they got their discharge from the Navy, they returned to WLW for a time, but due to the following they had gained while in the Navy, they wanted to try other venues. They moved to New York City for a time and started appearing at the Village Barn in New York. While seemingly enjoying the popularity on the east coast, their hearts were evidently still in the Midwest. In 1949, they moved back to Chicago and became a part of the WLS National Barn Dance. They also had a few other shows over WLS during the week in addition to their popular appearances on the Barn Dance each week. Captain Stubby had a gimmick with his singing and was known as "...the lad with many voices." Even as far back as the age of ten, he had learned how to go from falsetto to foghorn range, a gimmick he used to great advantage and entertainment of the audiences in the tunes they did.
