Playlist - 10/30/2016 - Jim's Dad's Birthday Stories

Hi Folks.

For this show I played mostly early country similar to the style of Joe Bussard, but I augmented it with some stories.  

Jim's Dad

A couple stories were told by my dad in 1994 when I happened to have a recorder handy.  Since he had his 90th birthday the previous Thursday, I thought we needed to hear from him on the show. 

Another story was Wendy Bagwell's classic rattlesnake story where he traveled to play music at a small church with snake handlers.

Joe Bussard presented his 54th program of country classics.

We may be preempted for a soccer tournament next Sunday, but if the team loses on Friday, will will have a show, so check Facebook here or tune it around 2pm ET to see if we are on.
