The Dick Spottswood Show
In this week's first hour, old time mountain tunes are followed by 1960s truck driving songs. In hour 2, Spottswood shamelessly flogs an Obsolete fiddle set he put together five years ago. To make up for that there are brief but potent appearances by Eddy Arnold, Rose Maddox, the Coasters, Stanley Brothers, Uncle Dave, and Merle Travis. It's mid-August aand it's hot--may Obsolete Music help you through the dog days!
