Another episode of Swing’n’Country is comin’ your way Saturday, April 18th from 6 till 9 am. The program features a pair of songs each from Cindy Walker, Marty Robbins and Johnny Paycheck. There are duets from George Jones & Tammy Wynette and Jessi Colter & Wayne Jennings, and music from a passel of country style singers, including Johnny Rodriguez, Rose Maddox, Bill Anderson and Dolly Parton, and many others, plus Arlo Guthrie’s City of New Orleans, by request.
The show opens with a song titled Last Call For Alcohol (by Commander Cody). It reminds me of Ketchikan, Alaska, fifty years ago. Last call was at 6 am, and the bars re-opened a couple hours later, mainly serving the pulp mill shift workers. In 1976 I was working a board shift on Ketchikan AM radio Saturdays at 6 am.
Please join me Saturday morning April 18th in the present day 2026 from 6-9 on KBOO 90.7 fm.
