As a companion piece to last weeks Woody Guthrie Radio show via CBS in 1940, here is another go at Network radio, also from CBS but this time from 1947.
This time he’s joined by Sidney Bechet, Cisco Houston, Pete Seeger, Sonny Terry & Brownie McGhee, The Coleman Brothers and a host of others into a half-hour songfest.
First broadcast on March 10, 1947, it was a more streamlined presentation than the earlier one in 1940. Some of the names changed, but the emphasis on Folk was the same.
Here is that broadcast, which runs over its allotted 30 minutes and subject to network fade-out.
Another slice of Musical history to go with your weekend.
