Lester & Earl with Hylo Brown on TV in 1962, a Benny Martin fiddle medley, some Memphis-Mississippi guitar blues, Hank Snow recalling his adolescence on a Newfoundland fishing boat, BobWills and the creation of “San Antonio Rose,” and a memorable stand-off between Sam McGee and Sylvester Weaver with dueling six-string banjos. What could be more Obsolete than that?
