In the 1950s and 1960s when Country Music was known as
Country and Western music, and when radio stations everywhere were airing the 50s and 60s
sounds of Eddy Arnold, Elvis Presley, Johnny Cash, Faron Young, Slim Whitman, Marty
Robbins, Earl Scruggs, The Wilburn Bros, George Jones, etc., most every community of any
size had its own radio station with its own disc jockey (DJ). In the community of Lake
Wales, Florida, that DJ was one Marvin Lacy. Marvin was born to a musical family in
Alabama; and as a youngster, it was not unusual to see him learning to play the harmonica
as he walked behind his daddy and their old mule plowing the fields. However, it was in
Marvin's future to move to Central Florida where one day his path would cross with those
of Eddy Arnold, Elvis Presley, Johnny Cash, Faron Young, Slim Whitman ...
... BUT JUST AS MARVIN HAD HIS OWN UNIQUE WAY OF MAKING MUSIC, HE HAD HIS OWN ENTERTAINING
WAY OF TELLING PEOPLE ABOUT HIMSELF. If you would like
to hear some of Marvin's music and humor, click on the happy mailbox below to hear him in
concert. As you listen to his concert for the folks of the
Grape Hammock community in Central Florida, you can also enjoy browsing through his photo
album.
