A BG & classic country fill-in....

As it's the beginning of the semester at UCONN, there are plenty of opportunities to do fill-ins on the radio until the schedule changes in the middle of September. Today, I was scheduled to do a midday fill-in, so I figured I'd play a mix of classic country tunes and BG for two hours. Well, two hours turned into four, and so I was "forced" to keep playing that mix. I won't lie -- this was great fun! And judging from the number of positive calls we received about the tunes we were playing, I think there is an audience for those classic country sounds. Wouldn't it be terrific to hear folks like Hank Williams, Roy Acuff, Carl Smith, and Ray Price on the air more often? I think so....

Today's show playlist follows, and the requests are in red.

Be sure to tune in on Sunday starting at 2PM -- Jim & Marti may include some classic country in their fine "Red Rooster Party," and then, Jim has the helm at this week's "BG Cafe." Be listening!
