Notes:

The initial set was hard-core, ending with a deep voiced George Jones tune "White Lightning". "Mama's Boy" by the Riptones took listeners to a newer country sound, then Smokey Buck Rodgers & His Texan's brought the set back to circa 1954. Uncle Jeff just about fell out of the rocking chair when he found that 78!

Back-to-back-to-back versions of "Milk Cow Blues" gave listeners fuel to feed the audio roadtrip. The contemporary 40's sound of Wayne Hancock's version was the hands down favorite in the studio.

Django Reinhart's tasty jazz lick provided a musical connection to western swing. Thanks to Fritz for verifying the artist of Improvisations In Ellingtonia.

Jeff's broken (like a flat tire) Italian while announcing the traditional Spaghetti Western had Loki rolling till the Midnight Cowboy theme began.

The anti-war theme continued from last week with "I'm Fixin' to Die Rag", Dylan's "Masters of War", and a piece by Tom Lehrer. Loki admitted to being slightly wound up during the last show, while Uncle Jeff disclaimed the fiasco.

At one point Loki referred to "Musical Archivists" as "Audio Wacko's". Immediate response by Uncle Jeff set the youngster straight.

This show was time travel, expanding the imaginary highway and giving listeners license to pretend they were on a road trip, at least in their own minds.

The post show get together hosted by "Agent Loki" included diverse conversation interrupted by subtle sips of Bombay Gin sprinkled with olives.
