April 6, 2008

In the first hour, Bill Monroe finds her name written in several places. Then multiple aspects of love are followed by cautionary tales starring the monkey and baboon. In hour 2, a few train songs and some pop tunes that turned country. Stellar appearances by Mr. Monroe (five times!), Mac Wiseman, Hogman Maxey, Johnnie & Jack (three times!), Hobart Smith, the Stanley Brothers, Jesse James (the other Jesse James), Wade Mainer, and a cast of dozens. Obsolescence has never been more potent!
