Episode 365: Pioneers of Country May 30, 2011

Pioneers of Country May 30, 2011 Let's flashback 15 years ago! Lots of great memories here during our Memorial Day broadcast from 2011. Over Three hours of Pioneers of country! We begin with "Hot Rod Lincoln" a song by American singer-songwriter Charlie Ryan, first released in 1955. It was written as an answer song to Arkie Shibley's 1950 hit "Hot Rod Race" (US No. 29). Dave opens the show and greets listeners. Dave promises to “keep it country” today. Dave states that at the top of the hour he will be counting down the top ten songs of the week that listeners voted for. Dave dates the show and mentions that it's memorial day.  Taps is a bugle call sounded to signal "lights out" at the end of a military day, and during patriotic memorial ceremonies and military funerals conducted by the United States Armed Forces. Dave says its baseball season! Daddy Played First Base a Song by Homer and Jethro from 1972. Misty is the twelfth studio album by Ray Stevens as well as being his seventh and final for Barnaby Records. It was released in 1975. Next is "Too Gone Too Long" a song written by Gene Pistilli, and recorded by American country music artist Randy Travis. It was released in November 1987 as the third single from his album Always & Forever. Dave gives a brief biography about Tammy Wynette and plays the song Apartment Number 9. Then Dave plays Tammy and George's daughter, Georgette Jones. That's the first 30 minutes, there is still 155 minutes remaining on this 3 hour broadcast.
