Does anyone else listen to...

WSDS1480.com? And no, I'm not their salesman!
They're a low power station in the Detroit area, broadcasting country since '68 or some such year. They're a clinic for all of us obscure country fans. Its just really cool to be able to hear Dale Watson, Johnny Cash, Bob Wills, and Skeets McDonald all in the same hour.

I was reading the post about how its easier to complain about the absence of music we like than it is to find it. Well, here's some...

Over the internet, I enjoy listening to www.kbec.com and www.bluegrasscountry.org. I also like [url=http://www.wsmonline.com,]www.wsmonline.com,[/url] especially the Eddie Stubbs show and its archives.

Buddy, I listen all the time. Their local broadcast has some talk shows, but the internet version has some great old country music. The station has a long history of playing real country and bluegrass. Another interesting show is the live radio show on Sunday night, "The Huron Valley Jamboree". Some of the DJ's and local players join up and play a live show. There is a lot of steel guitar on this show. The player is Bob Anderson, I know nothing about him except his name and that he plays some really hot non-pedal steel. He sings a song now and then too. The show is 7 PM to about 9:30.

Sam, thanks for the heads-up on kbec; I wasn't familiar with that one. I do listen to Eddy Stubbs every chance I get.

Bill, the band I play in, The Gin Palace Jesters, played the Huron Valley Jamboree with Bones Maki and the Sundodgers last March. It was a hoot. Its a good, ole' fashioned VFW dance hall gig; why, there was even couples dancing.

BTW, didn't Bob Anerson used to play with Little Jimmy Dickens?

Buddy, I did hear that show, you and your band did a great job. Listening to WSDS, I am constantly hearing songs that are totally new to me, even though they may be 40-60 years old. It's a nice change from most the of the radio out there.

Thanks for the kind words, Bill. (Boy, did we have you fooled ;P ).

WSDS claims to have the largest country music library in the state of MI, and from the way it sounds, I'd guess its true. I thought I was a student of obscurity, but those folks prove me a real amateur. Too bad the songs are not identified when the announcers are off-line. Heck, they play more tunes that I don't know than those I do. Pretty cool.
