tigersnake said:Liked the Hank snow smash. I'm a DJ, mainly a hobby, but I do about 6-10 paid gigs a year through word of mouth. Vinyl only, 2X SL1200s. Tomorrow night I've got a gig DJing a housewarming party with a hillbilly theme. Went through my collection and was amazed at how much country I've accumulated when I stick it all in one crate. Been listening to it to re-aquaint myself with the tracks, wow, some amazing stuff. Loretta Lynn, earl Scruggs and Lester Flatt, Hank W, about 10 Johnny Cash records, Dolly, heaps of Elvis, Lefty Frizzell, George Jones, as well as Slim, Chad Morgan, Jimmy Reed, 'pass the buiscuits', Frankie Laine, Marty Robbins. Also plan to mix in some blues and rockabilly, Carl Perkins, the Coasters 'Yakkity Yak', wow, got heaps of good up tempo stuff Also found a track called 'I'm my own Granpa' which Chad Morgan covered, but I have the orig US version. Very funny. Its tiger gollywogs party and he has invited about 500 people, should be fun.
