Not Exactly Nashville WCNI 91.1FM New London, CT Saturday 12noon - 3PM (EST) webcasting on RealAudio at www.elm.conncoll.edu:81/audio/live.ram Country & Roots playlist - 3/27/99 Mike Trynosky [EMAIL PROTECTED] Celebrated the 70th birthday (3/25) of Lubbock, TX musician Tommy Hancock (no releation to Wayne "The Train" or Butch). Hancock's famous Lubbock Cotton Club, opened in the mid - '50s, in the mid-60s hosted many young local musicians, including Jimmie Dale Gilmore, Joe Ely, and Jesse Taylor, who began coming to the club. Eventually Hancock would sell the club to Ely. Hancock's records feature some of the Austin area's finest musicians, the late Jimmy Day, Alvin Crow, Eric Hokkanen, Mark Rubin, John Reed, Tomas Ramirez, the late Keith Ferguson, David Heath, Jesse Taylor, Ponty Bone, as well as his wife Charlene and 5 of their children. Hancock's 4 currently available albums, according to John Conquest (Music City Texas, #88 December 1996), "may well be the last gasp of the Texas country underground, that bizarre meeting ground of hippie dopers and shtitkicking cowboys that, more than anyone, Hancock personifies." Also featured a set of music from one of Rock N' Roll Hall of Fame's newest inductees, Bob Wills, who was enschrined 3/15 in the "Early Influence" category. Played a couple of tunes in honor of Janis Martin's birthday (3/27/40). With the Rolling Stones making a stop in Hartford Sunday & Monday, I seized the opportunity to play Cornell Hurd & His Mondo Hot Hot Pants Orchestra's single, "Under My Thumb", recorded in 1977.
