Cowboys and Westerns - 11/23/2008

It's no secret that Marti loves Western music (and yes, there is a difference between "country" and "Western.")

This show was Marti's brainchild and she put a string of cowboy songs, western swing, and Western songs together for a unique cowboy and western experience.

We also paid tribute to some birthdays (listener Meg's was the day of broadcast, Marti's was the next day) and anniversaries (same listener Meg and her husband Jack was the same day (!) and my parents' was the same day, too.) We played the "Happy Anniversary" song from The Flintstones TV show.

We lost a bit of a couple of songs when we had a brief power surge in Storrs that knocked us off the air for a couple of minutes, but we hope you enjoyed the show in spite of that.
