Good morning wishbone. That opening banjo thingy had me cracking up and 🤣. It was really good!!!

morning rob!!!

Good morning wishbone!

hey there pengy!

Good morning wishbone, Rob, Pengy!

Good morning Pengy and funkybutterfly!

everyone keeping warm on this lovely day?

@ wishbone (host) I'm lovin' the bluegrass & old-time plays! And (as a native Garden State-r) I enjoyed "Ocean County Blues" by Jackson Pines. But a Question on that one: "I see the Allen (sp?) swimmers, swimming for their lives." Drawing a blank there, can you explain?

I am now! Good morning Rob and Funky and Richard and Wishbone!

This is definitely more "howdy doody" to me haha

I hear you snapping :)

Discussing the Doc and Merle Watson song and its beat just now, my wife and I were wondering what folk gaze might sound like. #Niche

This was prompted by dj MJ talking about black (metal shoe) gaze on his show on Thursday morning

Folkgaze would be dope. The closest thing I can think of is Wednesday music

yacht folk?

@funkybutterfly, we are keeping warm down here, if only because it's about 10 degrees warmer here than in Princeton

And good morning Richard of RH and TAndy

everyone has been talking about wednesday and i still haven't listened!... should i?

@ Rob from snow-crete-blanketed Maryland "Folk gaze," yes! :-D The now-classic "Southbound" was written by Doc's son Merle, I believe when they were doing a lot of shows touring and Merle was understandably homesick.

its 9 by me....!!!

You should!!

@wishbone, yes, you should listen to Wednesday!!

And, TAndy, I will be listening even more to Wednesday

Oooh I love Wednesday's sense of humor https://wednesdayband.bandcamp.com/merch/wednesday-rat-saw-god-t-shirt

Only one shirt left in a schmedium

TAndy, dang, that's on the small side for me. Oh well, it was too good to be true

I can fit a medium on my head to use as a hat

where's the link to the wax cylinder website? Asking for a friend

Love listening to these old recordings btw

TAndy, yes! I could defo wear it in winter under a button shirt, but I wouldn't want to wear it as my only shirt in warmer weather

hehehehe this is awesome

it's right under the photo of a wax cylinder under the song Hand me down my walking cane

@Richard of RH, ty for that info about "Southbound". Maybe my folk gaze band will make that its first song ;-)

Thanks! I had to refresh the page to see it

bravo Roochie Toochie...such a good toe-tapping time. Fun!!

those are angels, wishbone...not demons :)

haha!!

That Chesapeake Bay song was great!

i love it!! haha. i'd really recommend "route 77" from that album, some really impressive banjo playing

really glad you enjoyed!

this is great!

It really is. When I heard Wishbone mention it was gonna be an Appalachia folk show I legitimately screamed with joy. I appreciate this music a lot

I'll check out Route 77 and other songs. I saw that the band says that that album has "Mexican string band music" :-D

Blue Raincoat=DEEP

great show! (just in from listening in the car . . )

Super show, thanks! I'll be listening soon in the car ... :-D

saudade by thievery corporation.. think i misspoke. whoops!

playlist is correct

1st time listener @Wishbone, enjoying the show! As a Victrola owner must say I really enjoyed the Edison cylinder songs.

niiice! i'm so glad that makes me happy

Hearing an ancient medium broadcast in a modern context makes me thankful for preservation.

We're about to get in the car where we can't hear the station. Thank you for this most excellent show, wishbone! Until the next time

Bye everyone (for now)

I suppose people know, but in case, they might be giants did those v fun edison recordings . . . way back when
