Oh my, the LPs I digitized this week really sunk in. I was so disappointed that my favorite Jim & Jesse track from the 1963 Newport Folk Festival (an old Vanguard LP) had a big "stick/skip" in it, that I put together a mash-up of that version and a version from their LP "Bluegrass Special." But plenty of other tracks from that LP made it on the air. The Jim Eanes LP I digitized also stuck in my head. . . . I also grabbed a track I digitized last year, Tut Taylor's "Turnaround," from his 1976 Takoma LP "Dobrolic Plectral Society." I also FINALLY got around to digitizing my favorite Stanley Brothers LP: 1973's County 739--"The Stanley Brothers of Virginia, Volume 2"--actually a reissue of an LP they recorded for Ray Davis' Wango label in 1964.
Subconsciously, I think the cold of the winter was making me feel old: Mac Wiseman's "I wonder how the old folks are at home" and Banjo Dan's "Back when the old folks were young" made it on the air. As did a great fiddle tune that describes what I'm watching when Tater Patch plays for a square dance or contra dance: Boiled Buzzards' "Grey-Haired Dancing Girls." Yeah, I check out the dancers who are closer to my age now. . . . And speaking of dancing, how could I resist closing down the show with a live recording from a Contra Dance! It was a fun show to put together.
Heard from listeners in Connecticut, Tennessee, Michigan, Pennsylvania, & Delaware. And I'm not related to any of 'em. Thanks for your support!
