RRR May 6, 2012

This week's show was originally broadcast exactly 5 years ago.  Besides celebrating the birthdays of J. Fred Coots, Henry Hall, Bing and Billy Cotton, we listen to this past week in recording history and I correct a mistake.  Yes, that's right. I made a mistake. I know. It's hard to believe, but true.  My favorite record this week has got to be "Sweet Gerogia Brown" by Oliver Naylor's Orchestra in the last segment.  What's your favorite?
