Hi Folks.

At the urging of some great listeners in Ohio, Pennsylvania, and other places, I made most of this show classic country from the 1940s through the 1960s.  Many WWVA Jamboree artists were included such as Skeets Martin, Kenny Roberts, Patti Powell, Doc & Chickie Williams, Elton Britt, Bob Gallion, Howard Vokes, and others.

Joe Bussard presented his 23rd program for Red Rooster Party that included rare New England duo Jerry & Sky and another rare Rich R Tone recording of Smilin'  Jim Eanes. You can hear Joe's show again at the link next to his part of the playlist below.

Tune in next Sunday morning from 7am to 9am for another great listen to America's musical past.
