An Obsolete salute to Oklahoma with Bob Wills and Duke Ellington's washboard band (honest!), followed by reminiscences from Blind Willie McTell, banjo variations on "Home Sweet Home," a Gene Autry-Merle Travis collaboration, and the rarely heard voice of a porkchop. Don't you dare miss it!
Today's Easter Sunday show features gospel favorites by the Stonemans, Staples, Bolicks, McReynolds, Coopers, Watsons, Isaacs, Graves, Carters, Louvins, Websters and Monroes. Obsolete Music works wonders in family settings.
The great Opry and Hee Haw comic Stringbean—and his old-time banjo—are featured in today's second hour. Before he appears, there'll be a radio broadcast with the Blue Sky Boys and brief visits with the Carter Family, Blind Willie McTell, the Lion, and Glen Campbell.
Wade Mainer reaches the century mark this Saturday, April 21, and we celebrate his birthday with a medley of songs he's immortalized over the last 72 years. We'll also hear some country songs with Hawaiian themes.
This week, Dick's annual, breathlessly anticipated and justly celebrated All Train Song show. Don't miss it—Obsolete Music is always on track.
