Chanteur
country US né en 1921 à Leon (Texas). Cowboy Jack Derrick fut Disc Jockey sur KNUZ de Houston
(Texas)
Back in
1955, Cowboy Jack Derrick was working at KNUZ in Houston, Texas. He hosted a
show called the "KNUZ Corral" each day from 11:00am to 1:25pm, Monday through
Saturday.
On Saturday night, he would sing and do comedy as well as part of the KNUZ
Saturday Night Jamboree. To finish off his weekends of personal appearances, he
performed at the Magnolia Gardens on Sundays where they did outdoor shows.
In late 1954, Biff Collie and Jack wrote Martha Ferguson of Pickin' and Singin'
News that they had a 'homecoming' type of show lined up for their Christmas
Jamboree show over KNUZ. Texas Bill
Strength and Arlie Duff were to make appearances.
In May of 1955, we note that Jack wrote a letter of encouragement to the new
publication, Country & Western Jamboree to help disc jockeys like himself keep
up on the news.
In the summer of 1955, Jack wrote one of those regional roundup columns and gave
us some insight into the KNUZ Saturday Night Jamboree show. It was held at the
City Auditorium and broadcast every Saturday night from 8:00pm to 11:00pm. At
that time, he told readers some of the members of their cast were
Link Davis,
Sonny Burns,
Floyd Tillman, and, Burt and
Charley. The show would also include guest appearances by other acts who were
probably making appearances in the area and included such names as
Red Foley,
Tex Ritter,
Eddie Dean,
T. Texas Tyler,
Tommy Collins and
Jimmie Davis.
He also told readers of another Jamboree show that he had learned about when he
visited with the show's organizer, Hank Jones over in Hammond, Louisiana. That
show, The Southeastern Jamboree was held on Saturday nights at the Reimers
Auditorium in Hammond.
A 1955 article mentions he and his wife had two children. A son was named Autry,
after the legendary cowboy Gene Autry and
Dale, named for Dale Evans.
