We brought Red Rooster Party out of winter hibernation to do a five-hour fill-in for vacationing DJs on a Saturday evening. We had a blast, and it was the fastest five-hours we can recall.
We covered a lot of territory from string bands, to old-time, to early country, to classic country, to Western, to early bluegrass, to comedy, and more!
If you had a chance to catch any of the show, we hope you enjoyed it!
