I'm hoping to get a new playlist going in the next few days.
Aside from the current Ed Haley playlist, I've recently had shows focusing on banjo, on West Virginia & Kentucky tunes, and several with less defined themes. I'm thinking the next playlist will feature "rags and blues" (in the old-time sense) -- but I thought I'd throw it out to the listeners -- what do you want to hear?
Other than the "rags and blues" idea, I've thought of doing a show focusing on balladry, or on African-American old-time musicians, or gospel-themed stuff, or I can do mostly "old stuff" from 78s, mostly current stuff -- you get the idea. So post a comment here (see link at the end of this post) or let me know via email -- what do you want to hear?
thanks,
John

Not really anonymous--just found that "ZEPP" was not available. Anyway... John, I think one of the things I most enjoy hearing on SitG are the things I would not normally buy on a whim, ie., listening gives me the chance to expand my horizons.
That said, I'll happily listen to whatever mix you put out there. It's all good!
Thanks.

Hey John,
I love the old stuff, I'm actually looking for more Uncle Dave as the two CD's out are good but don't have his first recordings from 1924, also looking for more long-bow Texas fiddling stuff, Ek Robertson-style, but really, I'm just glad that there is interest in this sort of music, thought no one was interested in it but me, and I don't have nearly as many Cd's as you I'm sure, funds are short, but thank you for playing this and keeping it alive in this market of shlok,
Dave
Dave,
If you want to get a great collection of Uncle Dave tracks without breaking the bank, check this new set out -- you'll get 4 CDs with 100 tracks delivered to your door for about 23 bucks. Highly recommended.
