I am not the Walrus. Koo-koo-ka-choo. But I am gonna host tonight’s show, because of reasons, I suppose.
Anyway, since it’s a Saturday night, and since I’m old, I’m going old school country, Grand Ole Opry style.
We ain’t got a real long show tonight, but it’s jam packed with good music. Now let’s get this young fella from Alabama up to the microphone to kick off the show.
Now here’s a fine song from The Cherokee Cowboy, Ray Price. Take it away, Ray.
Here’s a number that causes more aches than just to the heart. The Ol’ Pea Picker himself, Tennessee Ernie Ford.
All the way from McClellan, Florida to our stage, let’s bring up Hank Locklin singing one of his biggest hits.
Seems ole Hank ain’t the only one falling. Pretty Miss Patsy Cline is Falling to Pieces. Sing it, little lady.
This next fellow grew up in Oklahoma and got his start in music when Sheb Wooley taught him how to play the guitar. After playing with bands while in the Army, he went to Nashville and became a hit songwriter. One of his biggest hits was one he sang himself. Here’s Roger Miller, the King of the Road.
Next up on the stage is one of our all-time favorites, Gentleman Jim Reeves, with one of his biggest hit records.
Our next guest was a pretty good race car driver when he could squeeze time on the track in between having hit records. Here’s Marty Robbins, singing of of his biggest hits.
We’ve had some big stars on tonight. And you don’t get to be any bigger a star than George Jones. Here he is now.
We didn’t have a long show tonight, but it’s been a good one. Now, we’re gonna end with our hope that come tomorrow, you, too, might be able to do what our final guest implores you to do: Kiss An Angel Good Morning. Here’s Charlie Pride.
Thanks for joining us tonight. That’s our Saturday Night Hootenanny. Unless, of course, you got an encore or two you want to offer.
Good night, everybody.
