Listened hours on end to big band, swing, and country on old 78s. My first purchase was Dion's "The Wanderer" on 45. Must have been about 8.

Hank Williams, "Lovesick Blues"
Today I'm listening to "The Complete Health and Happiness Recordings" by Hank Williams. Health and Happiness was a 1949 radio show and last month BMG released this three-record, 2-CD, 49-song set. I'm listening on Spotify and assume its on all the other streaming services but if you click the title bar of the YouTube link window below, "Lovesick Blues" will play in YouTube itself and you should see on the right side that it is the third song of 49 in the playlist so you can listen to the whole thing free if you've a mind to.

Great CD's ! I own that set as well !
How about when Audrey's gonna sing , "I'm a-Tellin' You, and Hank get a roughness in his voice, like he's gonna start a fight right there on - air....
Hadycol was the sponsor , I think...
Our collections probably look a lot alike.

Molly Tuttle, "White Freightliner Blues"
I love Molly Tuttle.
Her first record came out a year or two ago. But seems like she's been playing professionally for about thirty years.
And she's only twenty-six years old.
Many well-known and respected online guitar teachers have based whole lessons on her guitar flatpicking style, tricks, and acrobatics. "White Freightliner Blues" is the song they most often use.
She doesn't have a really powerful voice but when she does the octave jump in the second line of each verse it's so adorable I just want to give her a hug.

Nancy Griffith, "Love At the Five and Dime"
And speakin' of adorable...
I was actually being semi-productive for a change when this song came to the top of the favorites playlist playing in the background which caused me to get plumb sucked down the Nancy Griffith YouTube rabbit hole.
Anyway, don't know if she's been played here recently, or ever.

Dolly Parton - "Deportee (Plane Wreck At Los Gatos)"
Decided Friday to link to this song today. The only question was which version. Woody Guthrie wrote it but don't think there is a YouTube video of him singing it. Listened to Johnny Cash, Arlo Guthrie, Joan Baez, Emmylou Harris, Willie Nelson, Judy Collins, The Byrds, Pete Seeger, Nancy Griffith, John McCutcheon, Paddy Reilly, and a bunch of others. Decided to play this one because she does a terrific job, might surprise some to hear her sing it, and she's about the least controversial person in the music business.

Spent lots of time yesterday and this morning "putting up" tons of fresh corn. I was inspired/encouraged by Glenn Miller, Teresa Brewer, The Bee Gees, along with Count Basie. Good music and tunes that got me movin'.

Nice Katie, We don't hear enough of Teresa Brewer anymore. I wish you'd have linked some of your favorites.
LT; Thanks for the Tuba Skinny Video. I've lost many an hour YouTubing them. If that isn't a verb, it oughta be.
Also LT, a further word on the roots of "The Locomotion." Accidentally watched Carole King on American Masters last night. I didn't realize how many '60s pop hits she wrote or co-wrote with her husband, lyricist Gerry Goffin. Just to include a few; not only Little Eva's "The Locomotion," but also Bobby Vee's "Take Good Care Of My Baby," "Up on the Roof" for the Drifters, Hermans Hermit's "I'm Into Something Good," "One Fine Day" for The Chiffons, "Pleasant Valley Sunday" for the Monkees, and "(You Make Me Feel Like) A Natural Woman" for Aretha Franklin.
I wasn't aware of Carole King until Tapestry which I wore out on vinyl and tape. Maybe my favorite song is the one least remembered, "Smackwater Jack."https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eC_Fvp39WF8

Did you know;
Al Capone played the banjo in the prison band, "The Rock Islanders", while
incarcerated in Alcatraz Prison.
My favorite Banjo Players ....

"Rock Island Line"
I wondered if the story influenced Lead Belly's Rock Island Line, but it seems more likely that the song influenced Capone. "Rock Island Line" goes back to at least 1929 and is based on the Chicago, Rock Island and Pacific Railroad.

Didn't know that; in fact, thought you were pulling my leg. But it is either true or an elaborate and oft-repeated hoax.
