Ultimate Twang Radio Show, December 13, 2012

Greetings from Asheville, where great music will be heard this afternoon, beginning at 4p Eastern, with the Ultimate Twang Show on Asheville Free Media.

This week, we’ll dig out some more classic country Christmas from the likes of Burl Ives, Loretta Lynn, Patty Loveless, Merle Haggard, and the Louvin Brothers. In addition, some all-time country favorites from Marty Robbins, Little Jimmy Dickens, George Strait, Little Texas, and Randy Travis. And let’s not forget the UT Time Machine, a trip nearly as fun as riding in Santa’s sleigh! The time machine travels to this week in 1966, 1974, and 1986.

The World Famous Ultimate Twang On The Air, Today!

It’s a new show in a new studio, everything is new!…well, almost new everything, the music is still vintage, and always will be, after all, that’s what Ultimate Twang’s all about. As you know, last week the show was preempted for a very good reason, as work was finished on Asheville Free Media’s new home! A big kudos to all who did so much to make it happen. Unfortunately, yours truly didn’t get to assist nearly has much as he would have liked to; the day job kept getting in the way. But I did get to take an old sink out of what is now studio. And here’s the best part, no pipes leaded afterwards!
Anyway, back to today’s show, we’ll remember the legendary Doc Watson, today, while the UT Time Machine heads back to this week in 1975, 1961, and 1995 (some interesting events took place!). And the music? Awesome, as always! Good, classic Country music from ’05 back to the beginnings of the music. And it gets started at 4p EST, this afternoon! I’m excited! Time to twang it up!

It’s really simple to listen, just click here, to go to the Asheville Free Media site, so you can hear Ultimate Twang!

The Ultimate Twang Experience, Recap

Greetings from Asheville, where good music is always on the turntable, in the CD player, or in the MP3 player.  Another Thursday has come and gone, and with it, another edition of Ultimate Twang.  If you missed the show, you still have opportunities to catch it, which I’ll explain further in a moment.  This week, we has some fun with the upcoming Daytona 500, with some racing and car songs, along with trips back in time to this week in 1990, 1964, and1982.  As you’ll see, below, some great songs made it onto the show.

Next week’s show is already being planned, as I write this.  With the first week of March on the way, we’ll look back to that tragic week, forty-nine years ago, when Patsy Cline, Hawkshaw Hawkins, and Cowboy Copas were killed in a plane crash, followed a couple of days later by Jack Anglin’s fatal auto accident.  We are also planning more stops in the UT Time Machine, as well.

As for this week’s show, if you missed it, there will be three encore presentations on Asheville Free Media.  Friday afternoon at 1, Sunday morning at 8, and Wednesday morning at 10.  All times are Eastern.  Plus, by simply going to the Ultimate Twang page on the Asheville Free Media site, you can listen, anytime, by simply scrolling down to “Stream Link”, and clicking on listen.

And one final note.  While you are on the Asheville Free Media site, please take a moment and read more about our Kickstarter campaign, designed to raise funds for our station.  Asheville Free Media is a community station that sells no advertising, and exists to serve the community, via donations and underwritings.
