Playlist - 10/26/2014 - Music from 1959 and Newer

Hi Folks.

We had an hour after the spurts preemption, so we focused on music from 1959 and later -- a different direction than the typical show that works from the 1920s forward.

The only exceptions to the date range were the opening Golden Gate Quartet number and a very early recording from Buck Owens that missed our arbitrary cut-off deadline by about three years.

Notable music included a song from one of Leroy Troy's early albums, requested music from Marty Robbins, a very late recording of the WBT Briarhoppers, and a late recording of Roy Rogers.  There was more along these lines.

We could be back next week following another spurts preemption, so give us a try around 3pm ET or look for our notice on our Facebook page:  https://www.facebook.com/WHUS.redroosterparty

Fill-in Playlist - 10/25/2014 - "Red Rooster Truck Stop"

Hi Folks,

Jim will be filling in on the Saturday morning midnight-1am time slot the remainder of the fall semester.  The fill-in will be loosely based on Red Rooster Party, so the playlists will be posted here.  For the first of these fill-ins, Jim called the show "Red Rooster Truck Stop" because most of the music was trucking songs interspersed with country comedy.

If you are up late Friday nights, tune in for an hour of fun and a blast from the past.

Jim

Playlist - 10/19/2014 - Old Time

Hi Folks.

Jim returned after missing the four previous weeks, but acknowledged his great debt to Marti for carrying on with Red Rooster Party in his absence.

After four weeks of doing the show solo, Marti asked Jim to program this show and give her a rest, so we had two hours of old time music.  Check out the playlist below.

The next show should be Sunday 10/26 around 3pm ET following some kind of UCONN spurts event.  Tune in!

Playlist - 10/12/2014 - Marti Solo (again)

Hi Folks.

Fate has conspired to keep Jim out of the WHUS studio for the last four Sundays including this one, but Marti has faithfully led the charge to bring good old fashioned music to the airwaves.

With just an hour left following spurts, Marti managed to bring a good bit of her favorites to the playlist including songs from Homer & Jethro, early Oak Ridge Boys,  Spike Jones, and a good bit of old-time music by old-time artists in the twilight of their careers such as Roscoe Holcomb and Clarence Ashley.

Jim will reunite with Marti on the air next Sunday, so be sure to tune in at 2pm or after spurts for what could be a full two-hour show of great old music from the early 20th century.
