Playlist - 1/18/2015 - Marti's Western Show

Hi Folks.


Marti created the playlist for this show featuring mostly western and cowboy music which is Marti's favorite.  The irony is that Marti was unable to be in the studio during the broadcast. When we arrived at UCONN, all parking was consumed by basketball fans, and Marti was forced to drop off Jim and drive around looking for parking (which she never found.)

Nevertheless, Jim played Marti's song picks, and it made a great show.  Marti was able to call in during the show and explained that she used the time to go shopping.


We played a couple of bonus songs from a Brother Claude Ely disc that was sent to us by regular listener Joel.  We will play more from that excellent disc in future weeks.

Red Rooster Party has been renewed for the spring semester at the same time -- 2 to 4pm ET Sundays -- and we hope you will continue to join us for our show of what Dick Spottswood calls "obsolete music."
