Howdy, I had intended to play a three or four song set of Decca tunes from the Decca box set. Instead, the show evolved into a full blown Decca-themed show, with about an hour and a half worth of music from the Decca vaults. For what it's worth, I received more audience response to this installment of Tennessee Saturday Night than any other, except possibly the Cas Walker tribute show. The Decca stuff was good to have from the box set, because admittedly, I was a bit tired tonight. I had come on the air at 2:30 that afternoon to prepare for a live in-studio interview with the Freight Hoppers. With the exception of a 90 minute dinner break just before the kick-off of Tennessee Saturday Night, I was on the air continuously until midnight. The Decca set helped me conserve my energy for the Fringe and our special live guests. But, I digress... Here's what a Tennessee Saturday Night sounds like, with a special thanks to all the folks who've worked through the years at Decca records.
