Obsolete Radio in the first hour, from the Stanley Brothers in 1947 and the Carter Sisters in 1949. In our second hour, a tribute to ragtime pioneer and composer James P. Johnson.
Our February 4th show included the following selections:
Songs about candy contrast with songs about money, Bill Monroe teams with Doc Watson, and Blind Lemon inspires a little country rock. Those are just a few reasons to enjoy this mid-winter Obsolete Music Hour.
Washboard Sam, Grandpa Jones, Cannon's Jug Stompers, and various editions of the Carter Family feature in the Groundhog Day edition of the Obsolete Music Hour, and buck dancers will have several choices.
