We were back to our regular show today. The first hour was classic and early country I programmed and the second hour was Joe Bussard's 53rd program of his Country Classics 78 records.

| Merle Watson |
To remember Merle -- the great guitarist, son of Doc Watson, and enabler of his father's career -- I dedicated a half-hour of the show to the music of Doc & Merle Watson in which Merle was a featured performer, either on banjo, guitar, or slide guitar.
We also heard music from Jimmie Driftwood, Howard Vokes, The Louvin Brothers, Lowe Stokes, and bluesman Jim Jackson.
Joe Bussard's 53rd show was packed full of his great country 78s.
Join us next Sunday, sports preemptions notwithstanding, for another great two hours of early and classic country music.
