Turning over the toy box and jamming together the gloriously mismatched musical Lincoln Logs, Legos and Tinker Toys from Tin Pan Alley pluggers, pickled egg tavern weepers, lockstep soul ensembles, skinny-tie power poppers, Eurotrash ravers, moontanned art school rockers, drunken soccer anthems and anything else that seems like a good idea at the time. There are no guilty pleasures.

@Gaylord--I do find that R.E.M. is good for listening at work. Nothing really to distract. Fine musicians. And yes @coelacanth--I listen mostly to the IRS stuff although there are some nice surprises on the stuff that came much later and got panned.

I would've watched the Cab video but didn't want to sit through the Nexium ad. Hi all :)

the introduction of hawaiian guitar and the subsequent development of country music as we know it just totally bends my mind in general
Avatar Fri. 7/17/15 1:48pm chromaphone:

The first time I heard Marty Robbins was on a stellar Guitar Player country guitar collection and the Robbins song was the only song I didn't like but now I like his cheesy vocal style years later.

Hi chromaphone. Good to see you.

Hawaiian players certainly influenced steel playing but I think the steel came to the fore because it cut through the volume of amplified music better than fiddles did. It's too bad Lane's not here to school us today.

@GaylordFields, you're right, that's what happens with a quick Google search. My bad! (they covered 2 Moody Blues tunes...)

This Willie record slays me. What was he going for with this in '68...commercially speaking?

A blendy thing of Bobby's Mack the Knife and Wayne's Danke Schoen and the theme from It's a Mad Mad Mad World.

Billy was clearly the biggest recording star, pre-Jolson, judging from how much of his stuff I've uncovered.

Was just looking something up a while ago during this show on an old Hinky Dinky playlist, and a Martha Tilton discussion happened to be on there. What a cohinkydink.

@chromaphone: The Beatles learned it from Emile Ford and the Checkmates' early-60s UK hit version.

Thanks much GF, I was wondering.

Billy Murray seems to show up on the antique phonograph program more than any other artist, from what I can tell.
