January 27, 2008

A homefolks medley includes Connie and Joe, Lester and Earl, Parker and Woolbright, and the Carter Family. The Coasters transform "Swing Down Chariot" into a garbage truck, and Bert Williams, Bessie Smith and Merle Travis celebrate being down and out–and being proud of it! The we’ll enjoy the first Lewis Family and dine on beans, bread, grits and gravy with Travis, Grandpa, and other food connoisseurs. Obsolescence has fewer calories!
