We had another all-too-familiar spurts preemption this afternoon, but we had about an hour available for the show. Marti was solo while Jim was in Canterbury to catch the Gibson Brothers/Bear Minimum show. Marti did a great job which is especially notable for the fact that she hasn't been solo on the mic while engineering the show for more than an hour in the past five years, and she followed up by doing Bluegrass Cafe solo as well - a show she has not produced in well over five years. Thank you, Marti!
There were a couple songs by The Golden Gate Quartet and Jimmy Murphy, followed by a range of artists performing country songs on the MGM label, novelty songs, and some lesser-known recordings from the famous Sun Studios.
We hope you enjoyed this short show. Marti will be back at the regular time for Red Rooster Party next Sunday at 2pm.
