Marti was back on the air today after being away two weeks with students in Costa Rica, so we put her to work with a big Marti's Bunkhouse western set.
Additionally, we heard some early fiddle rags from Georgia and North Carolina, a Georgia songster's songs about Fords and Chevrolets, and John Dilleshaw (Seven Foot Dilly) conduct a rough and rowdy square dance on Ball Top Mountain.
We had a good number of requests which included Roscoe Holcomb, Charlie Poole, Lee Moore, and a version of I'll Fly Away with Don Reno and Benny Martin.
Join us next Sunday 2-4pm ET for Red Rooster Party!
