"Freight Train Boogie" by DOC & MERLE WATSON. Blues, Off The Record Mon Aug 12 with deirdre dionysiac on WPRB Princeton 103.3 FM

I've never heard blues like this!

Gonna be a bitta broad interpretation going on, but this IS going to be a blues show

I’m not blue about it

That makes two of us!

I bought Elizabeth Cotton used LP in upstate NY. Inside there was a program and signed ticket, both from her concert at Syracuse U. I fell over. Love a cappella, and acoustic blues.

I just noticed your LP signed too.

Very cool! I think she resided there at the end of her life, right? And I wish I could say that copy shown was my own, but as far as the pics I'm just pulling album art from Discogs

Heya.

Ayeh.

dats me, Ayeh

I feel a kinship.

Must be a relative!

Such fantastic stuff!

Hitting the road now, thanks for the show Deirdre! On point as always.

I almost thought that 1966 sorority song was a modern recording; something Holly Golightly and the Brokeoffs might do.

I can see it, yeah! I think our collective tastes have almost gotten more kitschy with respective to this stuff in a way

Had anything as scatological as that Hawkins song ever been recorded before?

I've absolutely no idea what you mean 🤫

orz

Another brilliant playlist from dj deirdre dionysiac! Many thanks and kind regards to you!

Thx for a great show!
