The songs stuck in my head

Decided to rinse some old Ska side tonight, then got a little depressed (this is virtually impossible while listening to SKA) because so many of these artists are gone...in any event, I am going ahead with it. Made me smile to have what I have and be able to share-

Tonight I felt like a little rinsing of some old Bob Wills records I have. I have collected Bob Will since I was a little kid and I figured I don;t play him enough (even though episode one was a Bob Wills show). In any event- tried to stray off the beaten path a bit for my friends at Ukulele Underground and show a side of Bob seldom seen...this one errs more on the side of Hot Jazz than it does Hillbilly.
Enjoy

Today we pay tribute via scratchy old records to one of my favorite singers and band leaders of the Western Swing era, Mr. Hank Penny. Timer has largely forgotten Mr. Penny, who only charted three times in his career, but I think I have put together a little glimpse into the greatness- Hot Jazz, Hillbilly Style. In these recordings are some of the greats, Merle Travis, Noel Boggs, Herb Remington and Jimmy Wyble to name a few-
hope you enjoy these tunes.

Woke up today and new that the only thing that would sound right to me was a bit of toasting, so I decided to lay down some tracks for you fine people out there.
For the uninitiated, this is the DJ style Kool Herc listened to as a child, and how he grew up to invent Hip-Hop. My significant other HATES it, and I will admit it ain't for everyone, but I like this stuff a lot, and have tried to stray from the beaten path here a bit-

Something a little different this time, my last show was SAD...ugh, this one is going to be happy dang it!
Today I bring you Mr. Cliff Edwards. Known by his stage name of Cliff Edwards, he was a HUGE star in the 20's and 30's, and partly responsible for the "Ukulele Craze" of the time. There is currently another Ukulele craze going on, but if people are still playing Eddie Vedder songs in 90 years, I will kiss your hind end. This guy was solid gold, Hot Jazz and tongue in cheek, with a quintessential playing style that will never be duplicated. truly brilliant.
Like so many greats, he died penniless. Seems bright stars burn out hard, and he ended up forgotten, struggling with drugs and alcohol, but there are still people who remember the great music he made. I have a few friends that do justice to this era's sound and can be found at these following places:

The rumor mill out of Jamaica is saying that today we lost a legend in Jamaican Music, Mr. Leonard Dillon, and I am sitting here hoping it is not true. I cannot think of anyone as progressive or before his time than Mr. Dillon often was in his song-writing, or a more wonderful singer.
I got the opportunity to see him a few years back, while enduring hippies and heat (intense heat) and nothing could put a damper on the show...he was the consummate performer, still had his edge, and brought the place down.
In any event- if the news is true-RIP. If the news is untrue , here is my tribute, and my thank you Leonard for all the great music.

Feeling like a little NOLA R&B today- in fact I often feel like a little NOLA R&B, today is the day you all get to play along!
DO yourself a favor and turn this up as loud as it will go...enjoy some incredible tunes, and please remember the people in New Orleans who are still rebuilding-there are a lot of them.
I mentioned my friend Dirk in the show who has really got me going on this stuff again of late, and he makes strings the for my Ukulele. Amazing strings- I am going to include his link here because you owe it to yourself if you play an Ukulele to go see what he does.
