1962 _New Pittsburgh Courier_ 19 May 19 (ProQuest) "Open Mike," the newest
trade sheet and first one for the nation's tan deejays. A clicker from the
get-go, the sheet has become must reading for every deejay who sees it,
since it gives the little and big guys in the business a chance to see his
name in print--which is something most of the other trade publications
have neglected to do.

1962 _Tri-State Defender_ (Memphis, Tenn.) 24 Nov. 5 (ProQuest) From the
get-go, Adline Brown, I would have said Don't Build Your Hopes Up High,
but you obviously threw a lucky punch.
