How “Spike” Hughes Got the Nickname “Spike” RRR 78 RPM Show – October 23, 2022

Spike Hughes Do you know who this fellow is? He’s Patrick Cairns Hughes, but you may know him better by his nickname “Spike” Hughes. In the first segment of this week’s show, you’ll find out how he got that moniker and hear three of Spike’s recordings. We’ll also be celebrating the birthdays of Billy Baskette, Roger Wolfe Kahn and Carl Kress. And we’ll have some songs about Mercenaria mercenaria. Listen to the fourth segment of the show to find out what that means.   There’s lots of great music and interesting information, so set aside an hour with your favorite beverage and be magically transported back to a different–and we think better–musical era.   Click on the audio player above to listen streaming online and/or download the show for listening at your convenience.
