Episode 358: Pioneers of Country April 17, 2011

Pioneers of Country April 17, 2011 Some warm-up tunes a few minutes until show time. Two more bottles of wine – Martina McBride. Country Kisses - Sheb Wooley. Jim Reeves – Mexican Joe. It's show time – Theme song. Dave's opening monologue. We'll be counting down the top 10 songs at the top of the hour. Dave “runs the chat room”. "There's a New Moon Over My Shoulder" is a 1944 song written by Jimmie Davis. We hear it now. Listen next to “Is the Grass Any Bluer (On the Other Side)” performing live by Rhonda Vincent. Dave jokingly states the next song is the story of his life “Hank Williams, You Wrote My Life” by Moe Bandy released in 1976. Dave gives a brief “Today in Country Music History”. T.G. Sheppard "Only One You" is next. That's the first 30 minutes of this Three (3) hour special broadcast. There's a lot more to follow. Some great country music from our broadcast. Includes our top ten songs for the week, and a special announcement on the passing of Grand Ole Opry Star, Mel McDaniel. And a lot more! And a birthday wish to Dave's wife, Susan. Sto Lat! - May you live a hundred years. Often sung at birthdays and name days in Poland much like the "Happy Birthday" song in the United States.
