music. I think it went well
Howdy,
I'm getting ready for tonight's show, but thought I'd amuse myself (if
no one else) and post last week's playlist.
We're gearing up for the spring fundraiser. Lots of fun stuff on the
way.
In the meantime, here's last Saturday's edition of Tennessee Saturday
Night.

Some strange events during the show with power gremlins zapping the

Howdy,
I was muchly pleased with this week's rendition of a Tennessee Saturday
Night and, quite immodestly, I'd say that the phone calls received during
the show indicate that this week's play list was one of the more popular
ones I've put together.
Quick side note: I stumbled upon a great disc
Howdy,
errr...ummm.
That should be "Always *Late*," but then you knew that already, didn't you?
Earlier in the day, I posted...

Hillbilly Boogie -- Columbia
Always Left -- Lefty Frizzell -- Look What Thoughts Will Do --
Howdy,
Well, I'm so late getting this posted it's almost time for the next show...

last week on a Tennessee Saturday Night.

that it usually

before striking out on his own. He cut two albums for Vetco before moving

of Tennessee Saturday Night than any other, except possibly the Cas Walker

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
and
somehow maintained control of the evening.
