Good evening everyone. Today on podcasting Blues, I'm going to talk about ed
Nassa Daddy Cook. Ed Cook was a beloved DJ for w v o N,
one of Chicago's first major black radio stations. Ed Cook played rhythm and
blues. He played Sonny Boy Williamson's Bring It On Home. Sometimes he was
a little upset while doing his job because things weren't quite turning out the way
he wanted. I can truly understand Ed Cook switched the record to Sonny Boy
Williamson because the wrong record was playing. He wasn't in a good move.
Just look Cook had to say about the weather, Sunny Boy Williams to get
this other way. For the second hour of the uh Eve Rodney Jones Show,
I wanna thank money for sitting in for me from three until four o'clock.
As you know, I'm sitting there for Rodney, and I guess you
wanna know why I'm not here, Well, I'll tell you simply in terms
that my automobile wouldn't stop, just like everybody else's. And about this Chicago
weather of yours, it's the worst in the world. This is the worst
weather. And if somebody says, ain't it great to be in Chicago.
You gotta be out of here cotton picking mine. Yeah, I got a
letter from a friend of mine in Puerto Rico and he's reading the newspapers every
day and got nervous enough to send me. He says, how you doing.
Temperature down there is eighty degrees and I'm swimming and having myself a ball.
Holler at anybody ever moved to Chicago. What's the temperature in Miami?
Uh, Jim, Uh, fifty five? Well it's better than here.
Look where they got in two Bolong Where two Bolot? Well, I hope
they have a nine hundred inches of snow downland. Dig said snow has entered
in Arkansas and Mississippi after jumping twelve inches on Pine Bluff, Arkansas. Ten
inches of snow A two bulo Mississippi. No better farm bar. I know
those people down there are suffering. Well, uh, you don't have the
temperature you at fifty five degrees in Miami. Well that's not too bad,
cause I know they're freezing me. I know where they're fifty five. But
uh, it doesn't land longer. If I understand, it's gonna be like
this for a couple of more day. Yeah, about three more days here,
might as well sleep out here at the radio station or in that accident
out there, and that Steve is an expressway with something else, some guys
with drag racing aut this time six car accident and then there's I'm tying traffick
up all the way west. Well, alright, but this is the now,
sung daddy, shurear Ed Cook, can you tolerate me between now around
seven o'clock. Well, it'll be no effort for me to tolerate he as
long as you keep that heat up. Now, I think somebody, a
friend of mine, took his battery in the house with him last night.
Now that guy's got some sense. Tell me that's what you ought to do,
take a battery in the only thing about it, I don't know how
to take my battery out. Yes, I can truly understand, Ed Cook.
When it turns cold in the winter, things start happening and it's aggravating.
It gives you the blues. Ed Cook played B. B. King
and mentioned that King used to be a DJ and said that he was smart
to quit and become a musician. Bought as a cat, bought as out
of sight. His name is B. B. King, I get you
know, what can you say about him that there hasn't already been said?
You know, he used to be at this jockey himself years ago at WDA
and Memphis, and then he realized, he said, there's no heature on
this. I got to get out of this. Yeah, he has some
sense in me. So they sure ain't no future in this. And you
see what's happened to about you? All right? Sat to the blind on
that one twenty four minutes after the hour, five o'clock. It's out of
the E. Ronner Jones show. My name is Ed Cook. I'm a
substitute for him between now and around seven, and he will be back.
And you want to know where he is. He's in ring a Bell Jarge
will. I hope you enjoyed getting to know something about DJ Ed Cook.
