Mr. Mayo was born in Booneville, the son of the late Mr. and Mrs. J. B. Mayo of New Site. He became the manager of Bob Wills and the Texas Playboys, having come to Tulsa with, them in 1934. The music was broadcast live from Cain's Ballroom beginning in 1935. Bob Wills and the Texas Playboys became one of the top musical attractions in the country, popularizing pop, hillbilly, blues, Mexican and fiddle music known as western swing.

In the late 1930s, Wills and Mayo took over the lease of the Cain's Ballroom. Mayo bought in 1944. Mayo was also involved in the movies and short subjects Bob Wills made in Hollywood in the 1940s, and was often the announcer for the Cain's Ballroom broadcasts, which were assumed by Johnnie Lee Wills and his band after Bob left for the West Coast, with the Wills brothers. Mayo also was an originator and co-producer of the Bob Wills Tulsa Stampede, which was once one of the major rodeos in the Southwest, began in 1939. In 1943, Mayo and several other area show-business figures formed Hey Rube Inc., an organization that financed free stage shows for military men and women.

In addition to being a renowned western-swing music figure, Mayo was a past member of the convention committee of the Tulsa Chamber of Commerce and worked with the Delta Lodge and Akdar Shrine. He also served as chairman of the Tulsa State Fair's Riding and Roundup Day and was one of the first Oklahoma directors of the Cowboy Hall of Fame. He also wrote or co-wrote several songs that were performed and of recorded by Bob Wills and the Texas Playboys and Johnnie Lee Wills and His Boys.

His most famous composition, Blues for Dixie, was a nod to his birthplace of Booneville. A new version, done by Lyie Lovett and Asleep at the Wheel, was released to radio earlier this year. Both Bob and Johnnie Lee Wills died before their manager. Bob Wills' death occurred in 1975; and Johnnie Lee's in 1984.

JOHN Q. MELTON

A Good Man Gone

John Q. Melton was born June 15, 1838, in McNairy County, Tennessee, died near Rienzi, in Prentiss County, March 10, 1898, and was buried in Piney Grove Cemetery.

He moved to Mississippi in 1865, made a profession of faith in Christ under the preaching of Bro. Ham Savage, and connected himself with the Hinkle Creek Baptist Church in 1866. In 1874 he moved to his present homestead and assisted in organizing Piney Grove Baptist Church and was among the first members of the organization. After moving to Jacinto, he transfered his membership to Jacinto Baptist Church in 1892 and was a faithful member of the same till his death. Bro. Melton was a good neighbor, an affectionate husband, a loving father and an exemplary Christian. He was a zealous worker in the Sunday School, and in all church work.

He was without fault, and I am sure he would not want me to say he was if he was living. Yet all who knew him will realize that the cause of the Master has lost an earnest supporter, but he has gained his victory.

Bro. and Sister Melton reared a large family, and he lived t to see them all grown and members of the church of Christ, save one the baby, a boy of 13 or 14 years, and then he fell asleep in Jesus, and left the friends who mourn him here to join the loved ones gone before, But Brother we shall greet you there where Christians meet to part no more.

J.O. Looney Jacinto, Miss.
