Playlist 10/5/2008 - Nick Reynolds, Children's Songs, Classic Country

Hi Folks.

We were preempted again as seems to be the case nearly every week during UCONN soccer season, but we managed to slip in an hour's worth of RRP.

We paid tribute to recently-departed Kingston Trio member Nick Reynolds by playing two of the Kingston Trio's biggest hits that Nick happened to sing, and played earlier songs from whence the Trio's versions came.

We also debuted a recently-released CD from the Yazoo label of children's songs from the early 20th century, and we finished with some good ole early and classic country, including an earlier 1935 version of "You're Bound To Look Like A Monkey" from Milton Brown (dedicated to the WHUS sports crew, of course) to augment the 1952 Hank Penny version we played two weeks earlier, and squeezed in some Delmore Brothers tunes and a great country song from RRP friend Kenny Roberts.

Tune in next week when Jeff and Earl, two great listeners, will be picking the tunes and shooting the bull.

Thanks for listening.

Jim & Marti
