This week, Vern and Ray show why California bluegrass fans hold them in awe, raw fiddlers (including Cajun music giant Dennis McGee) show why they deserve respect, the Titanic sinks again, and we enjoy brief appearances by Roy Acuff, Bill Monroe, the Coopers, Uncle Dave, and the Stanley Brothers. Obsolete Music justs gets older every week.
