For this show I played mostly early country similar to the style of Joe Bussard, but I augmented it with some stories.

Another story was Wendy Bagwell's classic rattlesnake story where he traveled to play music at a small church with snake handlers.
Joe Bussard presented his 54th program of country classics.
We may be preempted for a soccer tournament next Sunday, but if the team loses on Friday, will will have a show, so check Facebook here or tune it around 2pm ET to see if we are on.
