Playlist - 9/4/2016

Hi Folks.

We were expecting a partial preemption, but wonder of wonders, the sports department decided to use their sports channel for their game instead of killing the unique music programming on FM. Kudos to to the breakout of clear thinking.

We used our first hour for some Bussard-type material, but also added some 1940s-50s classic country and gospel to round it out.

Joe Bussard's 48th program for RRP included a fascinating half-hour transcription of an October 1939 Grand Ole Opry broadcast along with more gems from Joe's collection.

Check us on Facebook for announcements on scheduling (especially since we always seem to be fighting sports preemptions) and also notice when we publish the playlist.
