REAL ESTATE AUCTION
3171 STRATFORD DR. MACON, GA. 31211
This auction will be an Online Only auction. This classic split-level home offers a comfortable great room with a dining room alongside the kitchen on the main floor. A few steps up take you to the bedrooms, while a few steps down lead to a roomy, versatile space. It also features a two-car garage and comes equipped with a washer, dryer, and appliances. This home belonged to the late "King Bee" Hamp Swain, a legendary part of Macon's music history. Born in Macon, he attended college for a short time before working as an insurance agent for Atlanta Life, and playing saxophone in his own band, the Hamptones, which occasionally featured high school friend Little Richard on vocals. The Hamptones performed at the Cavalcade of Jazz concert held in Los Angeles at Wrigley Field on July 10, 1949 and in San Diego's Lane Field on September 3, 1949, which were both produced by Leon Hefflin, Sr. Swain helped give James Brown his big break by being the first DJ to play "Please, Please, Please" on the radio in 1956. He also hosted "The Teenage Party," a talent competition won by local singer Otis Redding several times Swain started his own record label in Macon in the late 1960s, Jar-Val, named after two of his children. Swain was inducted into the Georgia Music Hall of Fame on September 13, 2008. |
