Playlist - 9/21/2014 - Marti Solo (Again)

Hi Folks,

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.

Hi Folks.

Another spurts-shortened show, but we hope we made the hour interesting.

We had a few short features on this show including a set of music from WWVA (Wheeling WV) stalwarts, Lee Moore (The Coffee Drinking Nighthawk) and Doc & Chickie Williams.  We also played a couple of novelty comedy songs from Homer & Jethro and Lonzo & Oscar, and played a set of story songs.

Tune in next week when Marti will be doing the show solo along with Bluegrass Cafe that follows!

Playlist - 9/7/2014

Hi Folks.

This show was cut an hour short by UCONN spurts.  The loose theme was country duos and duets.
 The music we intended to play was left at home (Jim's fault), but we raided the WHUS collection and found plenty to keep the them going.  We hope you enjoyed what you heard.

Next Sunday will be preempted about an hour so our start time will be delayed until about 3pm ET.  We hope you tune in.
