HAMP SWAIN ESTATE AUCTION @ THE SPOTTED PONY

This auction includes the Estate of the late “King Bee” Hamp Swain, a legendary part of Macon’s music history as well as a few other local estates and fixtures from the Spotted Pony. 

Hamp Swain, Macon native, was a longtime DJ for WIBB in Macon, GA.  He played saxophone in his own band, the Hamptones, which occasionally featured high school friend Little Richard on vocals.  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 1960’s, Jar-Val, named after two of his children. 

In this auction, you will find items from his estate to include lots of 45 records (many DJ or promo copies), vintage collectibles, estate & costume jewelry, artwork, and so much more.  Additionally, you will find coins, rugs, shelving & display cabinets, shell pink milk glass, new pageant / jr. bridesmaid’s dresses, new wedding items, business supplies, designer vintage purses, new Halloween costumes for kids, and much more!
