Thanks for this! I am trying to figure out how to listen to music, and what to listen to... This is good.

He was — and, through his records, is — an amazing resource. He opened my ears to the Carter Family, Jimmie Rogers, and the Blue Sky Boys, among others (though I still haven’t bought a BSB record).

The Blue Sky Boys "Turn Your Radio On" is one of my favorite songs!

P.S. Oh, here's Joe Bussard himself featuring that song--you may have heard it:

I’ve heard the song many times, but I’ve never seen this — thanks.

Did you notice the five cassette decks on the shelf? He sold cassette tapes made from his 78s.

Fresca said...

I hadn't noticed the cassettes---sort of touching, in these days...

And with typed labels.
