Comments: The wagons and horses may have been traded for tour buses, and the purveyors of snake oil replaced by highly skilled pickers and flutists, but Tommy Scott and his Old Time Medicine Show Band provided old-school entertainment every bit as enjoyable as their nineteenth-century travelling namesakes. Combining the sincerity and musicality of country music with uplifting pop, this poster will definitely have you tapping your feet. Tommy Scott began his career in entertainment playing guitar and singing for local square dances. He performed on a radio broadcast for the first time in 1933, and, in 1936, joined Doc Chamberlain's Medicine Show, which had toured the South since 1890. In 1938, Scott took over the show, which was later known as Ramblin' Tommy Scott's Hollywood Hillbilly Jamboree. Scott performed on radio station WWVA in Wheeling, W.Va., where he developed characters and routines that were later featured in his live, radio, and television appearances, including a blackface character named Lightning and a ventriloquist act featuring the puppet Luke McLuke. Scott wrote a number of hit country and western songs and appeared in several feature films. The Ramblin' Tommy Scott Show, which began airing in 1948, was the first country music show on television. During the 1950s, Scott had another show on television called Tommy Scott's Smokey Mountain Jamboree. A collection of Tommy Scott's Old Time Medicine Show posters is housed at the University of North Carolina's Southern Folklife Collection.
