| Kitty Wells with Johnnie & Jack |
Though we don't know of too many Bluegrass renditions of the music of Kitty Wells, we managed to find a few to play in honor of the 100th birthday anniversary of Kitty Wells, who was born August 30, 1919. Without Kitty Wells stepping forward and becoming a band leader in the early 1950s -- becoming more than just the token "girl singer" with her husband's act (Johnnie & Jack) -- there may not have been other female band leaders in country and later, Bluegrass music.
While it's been a mighty long time since I've had to put together a radio show featuring nothing but music from LPs, it was fun to try out programming half-hour increments of LP music this summer. On Sunday, the records came back for a second Summer session, so we may continue trying this out every few weeks.
Hope you enjoyed your Labor Day weekend, and we'll be looking for you once again next Sunday afternoon - 4-7PM.
Have a good week!
