A Very special show this week (& not in the short bus way, well maybe a little) As I hand the mighty mike over to Decatur, Georgia's finest citizen Mr Greg Germani,
This week Mr G dragged out from his pile of dusty 45's a stack including Carl Butler, Vern Stoval, Ed Johnson, Jim Sparks, Porter Wagoner & many more
Greg asked me to edit out a few mistakes........I'll make a note of that on my Dodo Skin note pad!
Roll Up Roll Up we're having a Garage Sale here at the Trailer Park, Do we have a Garage? No, But we have a real nice rec hall & some great bargains here, This week sellers are "Bill Litrell (maybe the world's worst Guitar picker) Tiny Tim (A Country Singing 5 year old) Bobby Louis, William The Wild One, Davey Dave & many more!
Back from Viva Las Vegas & The Canby Record show with a pile of new 45's with "Enough Rhythm & Blues to Piss off our Hillbilly Fans & Enough Hillbilly To Piss off our R&B Fans!" Now there's a catchy slogan
Among our mixed Restroom crowd this week we have "Vic Gallon, Elmore James, Pat & Dee,Earl Songer, Mack Stevens, Johnny Bond, Anisteen Allen & More!
A competent host will be dubbed in at a later date...
Here we are again as I dust my jeans from crawling around on the floor diggin' through boxes of Records, I return with a treasure trove of booty from my spoils of War
Fresh out of the box's, barely unpacked & price tags still attached we have, among others:
Lightnin' Hopkins, Eddy Burns, Johnnie Lee Wills, Jesse Rogers, Lamarr Morris, POrter Wagoner, Jimmy King & a bunch more kings!
With Viva Las Vegas looming next week this may be my only chance to spin these new 45's for a little while!
Back after the great Podcast Crash of 2009 we pick up the threads with a random mixture of 45's 99% of which belong to me, plus one that should be on the the way to Mr Bill Smoker...but may not make it to the post office
This week we mix in some Hillbilly, Rockabilly, Blues, Gospel & even a couple of Instrumentals!
Join me, Vernon Wray, Curtis & The Creepers, Rudy Hansen, Tommy Spurlin, Sterling Blythe, Lightnin' Hopkins & more
OK so I really did buy that many records, after laying out all the keepers & rejecting the crooners & Bill Haley 45's, we dig further into the box's to bring out an eclectic mixture of Rock & Roll, Honky Tonk, Doo-Wop, Blues & a few undefinables (Hey I said the record Gods are picking the play list not me)
Join me The Cyclones, Norris The Troubadour,Fred Crawford, Earl Williams, Larry Hall, Jimmy Minor, Laurie Bryant & a bunch more from way back in the box's
Sunday Morning 5:00 AM Highway 99 South, G-MINUS-MARK at thew wheel of his '67 Mustang heads South to be the early bird at the Eugene Record Show at the Eugene Hilton, as our hero greets the rising sun he snapps up the little 45 rpm records that begin to appear from box's & crates as the various record sellers begin to peddle their wares.
About three hours later he readies himself to hit the road with his box of 30 or 40 records, feeling that he's had an OK, but not great day of buying, with only a Coffee at Full City Coffee on Pearl Street on his mind he begins to leave, from out of the shadows steps a man, G-MINUS bends forward as the man begins to speak, "You're Leaving Right?" yeah he reply's, "You wanna buy everything on my table?" the man asks, Hell No! says our boy, They're gonna be Very cheap the man urges!
As the Mustang fires up & heads North, passers by wonder why it sits so low to the ground!
