For this first show of 2015, Marti selected the music except for a couple songs Jim played to fulfill requests.

Perhaps the surprise of the show was a collection of Merle Travis songs transcribed from Jimmy Wakely radio shows of the mid-1950s. They provided a different take on the aural history of Travis' great picking and singing.
We haven't played much from Eddy Arnold in a while, but we played three of his number 1 country hits on this show including Kentucky Waltz. Even the song's writer and first performer, Bill Monroe, wasn't able to get the song that high on the country charts.

We hope you enjoyed our much-too-short one-hour-preempted show, and hope you will join us next week when we make another go of it.
