Hi Folks.
For today's show I pulled down one box of my 78s randomly, picked about two dozen from the box, and played a track from each for the first hour. Joe Bussard did the same thing for his part of the show during the second hour. Only the opening and closing tracks were not from 78s, so this was probably the longest uninterrupted show of only 78s on radio anywhere in decades!
Some of the highlights included Gid Tanner And His Skillet Lickers With Riley Puckett; Fred Kirby; the B side of the Rambler Trio SuperDisc (Arthur Smith's original Guitar Boogie was on the A side); Tex Ryder and the Texas Tomcats; The Massey Brothers String Band; J. E. Mainer's Mountaineers; and Bill Monroe and his Blue Grass Quartet.
Joe's selections on his 60th show for Red Rooster Party included great sides from Ted Gossett's Band; Smith's Garage Fiddle Band; Big Bill [Broonzy] and his Jug Busters; and Lulu Belle and Scotty.
We hope you enjoyed this rare musical journey in our time machine.
Join us next Sunday 2-4pm ET for another two hours of great early American music! Check out and like our Facebook page here.
