The son of Swedish immigrants, Wamp Carlson, with fellow Nutmeggers
Dwight "Red" Latham and Guy Bonham, formed a group called the
"Tastyeast Jesters" who first performed singing commercials on radio
for shows sponsored by the Green Brothers Company of Springfield,
Mass., and Trenton, N.J., the makers of Tastyeast candy bars in 1930.
Changing their name to "The Jesters", the group was best known for
their novelty songs and snappy patter.
