CARNEY, Albert. (Dubuque, IA, Aug. 9, 1893--Chicago IL, Jan. 13, 1931). Musician. A pioneer in radio broadcasting, Carney gained national recognition for his radio programs and mastery as an organist. Carney studied piano at the [[DUBUQUE ACADEMY OF MUSIC]] and was hired as a pianist for silent pictures shown at local theaters.

After returning from [[WORLD WAR I]], Carney studied organ under Professor A.C. Klein and graduated from the Dubuque Academy of Music with honors. In 1923 Carney moved to Chicago where he was hired as the organist and the McVickers Theatre. As his popularity grew, he was hired by William Wrigley, owner of the new radio station WHT.

Carney presented daily organ concerts and with announcer Pat Barnes transformed routine weather reports into media events with special musical effects Carney produced on the organ. He also played the dulcetone, a miniature piano keyboard only thirty-four inches long with forty-four keys.

Carney moved to St. Louis in 1926 to work for KMOX. He soon returned to Chicago to develop his own studio in the J.R. Thompson Brokerage Building. Carney's music was soon broadcast over station WCFL. Seriously ill with pneumonia and bronchitis, Carney died unexpectedly at the age of thirty-seven.

In tribute to this musical genius, all Chicago radio stations maintained fifteen minutes of air silence as WGN broadcast a medley of Carney's favorite organ selections played by his friend, Larry Larson. His funeral in Dubuque was attended by many entertainers, officials and radio personalities.

The epitaph on the Carney mansoleum in [[MOUNT OLIVET CEMETERY]] reads:
To Albert Carney, famous radio organist, pioneer in
radio broadcasting, internationally known by all, this
memorial is affectionately dedicated, and no matter who
you are, how you are, and where you are, you will know
that it is Al Carney signing off forever and bidding
you all a fond goodnight.
