With our time slot shared with a very active UCONN sports department, we have not had very many opportunities to produce shows this semester, so when the opportunity to do a fill-in during UCONN's spring break presented itself, we eagerly accepted. The resulting Red Rooster Party occurred noon to 1:00pm -- one hour before our (ir)regular time slot -- on March 16th.
We played some unusual selections for RRP including a couple of Les Paul & Mary Ford numbers (based on requests we have been receiving this year), and some Hollywood hillbilly music from the likes of Cliffie Stone and Budd Hobbs. We also got some early Chet Atkins, our NC home favorite Fred Kirby, comedy from Junior Samples (his first recording!), and of course some yodeling for Marti by Carolina Cotton from one of her radio shows produced by Armed Forces Radio Service in the early 1950s.
We hope you enjoyed this brief production, and hope we have the opportunity to bring you another show by summer. Thanks!
