Always willing to shamelessly promote myself, I agreed. Please follow the link to find out more.

 Recorded on September 21, 2006, this radio show features Doc Rock presenting the music of George Jones. From the earliest recordings made in his producers living room spanning a 50 + year recording career. This was a nice surprise and it is great to hear his voice again. Check it out, tell your friends.
 

Now you can find more source information about those nether, lost and haunted recordings and artists of traditional music.

One of my favorite sub-collections in my collection of 150+, 78 RPM records from Brazil. That link will explain it a little. This is a group of records I’ve wanted to archive since I got them, but you know, this and that and time passes on.

I’m happy to start this project finally and will be working label by label. Which seems obvious now… I’ll be working in alphabetical order, starting with the 18 Continental Records, and featuring pictures of the records and sleeves. In this group, 14 of the 18 Continental records came in original or period paper sleeves.

 mix tapes made for yourself and given to friends might be an early equivalent to contemporary social media. Might not. We here at the DUTR studios have been digitizing cassettes and reel 2 reel recordings recently and want to share some of these wonderful old mix tapes. These mixtape recordings will each be presented as one long file, not broken up by song or piece, just like a mix tape.

The old year is history and the new dawn is breaking through the clouds. We here at Dig Up The Roots want to help you with your New Years Resolutions with the aid of old exercise, self improvement and instructional records … if you want and are willing to accept the help. We spend the program improving our cultural and social skills by learning to sing, speak effectively, play the blues, and a life long dream of my own come true! Co-Starring with Fernando Lamas! For all you listeners wanting to shed a few pounds, we have a set for you too. Jack La Lanne and one of the most driven and manic fitness fanatics ever: Bonnie Pruden. Don’t try to make your body do what she is telling you to do, just do it before she gets mad, it will be easier that way.

Listen to the show.
