Hello neighbors!! On this page I`ll be posting county music (or music that influences country music) from my collection of 78`s LP`s and 45`s. Most of what I`ll have here will be from about 1900 up into the 1950`s or so. I`ll try to use stuff that is not currently available to buy. All artists I`ll be posting recorded before 1950, but some recordings may have been made later than 1950. I hope you all enjoy what I`ll be putting one here!!

Homer & Jethro - The Humorous Side Of Country Music
How about some country humor today? Nobody could beat Homer & Jethro for country comic songs. They were also excellent musicians. Give it a listen!
Thanks for the Homer and Jethro! Jethro Burns was one of the truly great mandolin players to come along. His efforts to get players to think outside the bluegrass and country boxes really expanded the reach of the mandolin in modern times.
Jethro Burns was an amazing character and a fine musician. I have an MP3 of an album of unknown origin called 4 Giants of Swing, which has Joe Venuti, Curley Chalker, Eldon Shamblin and Jethro Burns as the primary players. Years ago, a local bluegrass group called The Warren County String Ticklers made an album with Jethro doing Star Time on it. Burns had a really varied career.
