Why, I'm so excited about these releases that I'm willing to overlook <g>
the characterization of the WLS Barn Dance as "a radio show that surpassed
the Grand Old Opry in influence well into the 1960’s..." Influence in
Chicago, maybe <g>, but I don't think that by the 50s, let alone the 60s,
the WLS show had the influence of the Opry, the Wheeling Jamboree, SoCal's
Town Hall Party and maybe some others.
Seriously, though, this is great news.
