Country Roots Two-fers - 12/7/2008

Sometimes it is hard for us to pick a song from an artist because there are so many interesting songs to choose from.

We made that task a little easier for this show by playing two songs from each artist. Of course that made us want to play three or four or ten more, but what the heck...

The only exception to our two-fer policy on this show was our Golden Gate Quartet opener. We had a request for a Mississippi John Hurt number, so we fulfilled the request and then played a second John Hurt song at the end to make that a two-fer, too!

We hope this was as much fun for you as it was for us.
