Playlist 7/28/2013 - Old Radio and Classic Parody

Roy Hall (top center) and his Blue Ridge Entertainers

Hi Folks.

This show had a goodly amount of old radio transcriptions from the likes of Roy Hall and His Blue Ridge Entertainers (1939), The Blue Sky Boys (1949), and The Carter Sisters with Mother Maybelle and Chet Atkins (1949).

Additionally, we played the first set (from the original vinyl) of the classic Statler Brothers parody of a generic amateur country band by the name of Lester "Roadhog" Moran and his Cadillac Cowboys.  This was Marti's first time hearing this hilarious record, and she thought it was terrible, which of course it would have been had it been intended as a serious effort -- "I could make a record like that!" she said. Marti thought we might have driven off all five of our listeners.  I hope everyone got the joke.

Marti's Bunkhouse was a spendid cross section of Western music, as usual, with a special set of "Swinging Hollywood Hillbilly Cowboys" -- a description that captures all the stereotypes.  Marti also gave away a Riders In The Sky CD to a lucky caller.

We'll be back next Sunday, so tune us in to join in the fun.
