Al Lewis (banjoist)
"Father" Al Lewis (1902 – April 12, 1992) was a jazz banjoist with some of the greatest New Orleans jazz bands in the Dixieland Jazz style of the music. He said he picked up his nickname trying to copy the piano solos of Earl "Fatha" Hines on the banjo. He is significant not only for his artistic abilities, but in his role as a preservationist of lost music. In his youth, Lewis was a big, imposing performer with a joyous personality. He played by ear, as many in his day did, and worked from around 1918 in both New Orleans and on the riverboats that ferried passengers up and down the Mississippi and offered diversions like gambling and music to up-river audiences. Lewis worked with band leader Joe "King" Oliver early in his career along with a string of New Orleans bands.

The show enjoyed a remarkable 35-year run (1950–1985) on WCPO-TV, making it one of the longest-running local children's shows in American TV history. (''Sesame Street'' holds the national record, being on the air continuously since 1969.) ''Uncle Al'' holds the unofficial record for the longest-running regularly-scheduled series with the same host for the show's entire run. History The show's origins were completely by happenstance. In the summer of 1949, then-General Manager Mort Watters asked Lewis (hired on two months earlier as WCPO's first art director) to host an hour-long filler show called ''Al's Corner Drugstore'', in which Lewis, dressed in a soda jerk's uniform, would take phone-in requests for songs ...
