Episode 2141: #21-42: Honky Tonkin', Pt.1
10/20/21 • 58 min
The audience for country music in the years following the World War II was predominantly male, and many of the records were aimed at the jukeboxes that thrived in the bars and watering holes where working class audience gathered. This week on the program, we'll sample some classic honky-tonk music from the late '30s until today. We'll hear Kitty Wells, Hank Snow, Buck Owens, Webb Pierce and of course Hank Williams … along with contemporary tunes from The Byrds, Emmylou Harris and Asleep at the Wheel. Let's go Honky Tonkin' … this week on The Sing Out! Radio Magazine.

Episode 2141: #21-43: It's Halloween!
When I was a kid, except for my birthday and Christmas, Halloween was my favorite holiday. It was the day when my friends and I could freely wander the neighborhood, playing pranks that seem tame today. We soaped car windows, threw toilet paper, rang door bells and threw dried corn. On this week's show we'll hear some of my favorites that remind me of those late October nights full of tom foolery. We'll hear from Steeleye Span, Fairport Convention, Archie Fisher, Dave Fry and many more. So turn down the lights and light a candle or two … this week on The Sing Out! Radio Magazine.
