Playlist - 1/29/2017 - J. E. Mainer, Jr. at 93

Hi Folks.

Jim & J. E. Mainer Jr.

Jim was back from his trip to NC to celebrate J. E. Mainer, Jr's 93rd  
birthday with a stop on the return trip at Joe Bussard's place for some great music.  You'll hear more exciting music from the Joe visit in the near future.

The first hour was mostly Jim's 78s featuring a segment of recordings, some composed and all sung, by J. E. Mainer, Jr. during his stints with his father's band, Mainer's Mountaineers.

We also heard early music from Steve Ledford, Dixie Reelers (J. E. Mainer's band when they recorded without J. E. ), The Prairie Ramblers, Bill Monroe, Jimmie Davis, and The Cooke Duet.

Joe Bussard presented his 67th show to great acclaim.  We had more calls and Facebook comments about this show than any we have had so far.  Keep the comments coming, please!

Join Jim next week.  We may be preempted the first hour, but Joe's show will air for sure.
