Bill Monroe and Sam McGee contribute to a medley of DeFord Bailey tunes in the first hour; Harry Choates and Dennis McGee head up a Cajun music suite in hour 2. After that, there’s a 1951 Hank Williams radio show and a couple of early Memphis Jug Band hits too.
It’s the Obsolete Music Hour. Check it out–you’ll never go back to rock!
