Greetings and Salutations!

Hi Sonny Boy

Good morning

Any Jelly Roll Morton ?

Hi Vaughn! Let me see what I can do!

Hello, DJ Sonny Boy Williamson III !

Morning!

Thnx Sonny Boy.... your show is just amazing.... I love it.

Great start

Awesome.... love these old tracks from the 20s & 30s.

Love that yodeling

Thnx for the Bob Wills.... this is great

You have such an extensive collection.... it is great to hear all the scratchy vinyl... gives it such a great feel.

Thanks Vaughn -- these LPs are actually property of the station! I found them doing some digging.

That is great.... so glad you found them.

Love this Ma Rainey song. Sounds really old timey.

1928 is pretty old time! But Charlie Jackson's banjo gives it an extra old time feel

Bessie Smith WOW!

Mando!

Yank was one of the greats on that instrument in blues. Played on classic recordings by John Estes. He's also in "Louie Bluie"

TopNotch Tunes! Cheers to you, DJ Sonny Boy Williamson III !

Thanks very much!

Any Woody Guthrie in those vinyl stacks. 😉

See what I can find!

Thnx so much. I love your show. These old vinyls make me happy.

I love this New Orleans Jazz. Sounds awesome.

Anyone here ever see a Flying Saucer?

Never!

I seen a funny bright red light in the sky once. It was late in the night & it lit up everything. I have no clue what it was.

Just the one I was on when I landed on your planet 🛸 🌎 👽 👾 💥

I knew you guys were here amoung us. Hopefully no hostile take overs planned.

t o o l a t e

Lol

Government corruption that should be a billion pages long.

Wrap it up while you got it here on hand.

Clothesline wow! Where is Wilbo?

Men’s Haberdashery, please

UFO story wow!

Where Indeed?

Perhaps Wilbo's up in a flying saucer

I'll be watching for him.

Speaking of Pine Barrens what about the Jersey Devil

The Jersey Devil (also known as the Leeds Devil) is a legendary creature said to inhabit the Pine Barrens of South Jersey. The creature is often described as a flying biped with hooves, but there are many variations.

this PLAYLIST ❤️‍🔥

Indeed ❤💯💥

The show is nothing without it's audience!

Speaking of Canned Heat

Skywatchers included

*its don't tell my english teachers

And that one Malcontent

All the thanks goes to you, DJ Sonny Boy Williamson III‼️

Civilization and its malcontents

Hooker and Heat

Lazlo with that harmonica! 🤣

who forgot to feed the sire?

Not Nadja. No, nope, no way.

Blind Lemon 🍋

Ringo Starr covered this one.

Carl Perkins did an influential version

Yes I remember that version as well.

Robert Johnson?

Did he really sell his soul to the devil?

Do Aliens really come to earth? Mabey he sold it to the Jersey Devil in a UFO by a crossroad in the barrens

Lol

Truth be told.

Thanks for listening everyone!

till next week

DJ Sonny Boy Williamson III, many thanks for another top shelf show!! Kind regards to you!
