Playlist 10/11/2009 & 10/18/2009

There are no playlists for the 10/11 & 10/18 shows, owing to the madness of our Fall Membership Drive.

The drive was a big success and I'd like to especially note that all available copies of our premium Benton Flippen & the Smokey Mountain Boys - An Evening at WPAQ, 1984 (thanks to the fine folks at 5-Strings Productions!) were snapped up by pledging listeners. Thanks also to the fine folks at Rebel, Rounder, Rural Rhythm, and Skaggs Family Records for helping us with premiums.

Thank you to all for supporting the program and the music, with both your ears and your wallets!

I have the best listeners in the world!
