Singing Partners In Radio
"JETSAM" (Malcolm McEachern) takes the low notes (you wonder how he gets some of them), and "Flotsam" (B. C. Hilliam) takes the high notes, plays the piano, and writes nearly all the songs. "Flotsam" is a Canadian, "Jetsam" is an Australian, and is one of the finest bassos in the Empire -when he is allowed to sing straight songs. "Flotsam" refused to be fright: ened by a continual stream of rejected songs in his younger days. The was established in 1926, when its two partners met and decided to go on the musichalls. They have broadcast for many years, many times, and their songs, thanks to recordings and the radio, are hummed and whistled the world over, Listeners to 3YA will hear Flotsan and Jetsam on Tuesday, July 19.
