Greetings from Asheville, where we have completed yet another edition of the World Famous Ultimate Twang Radio Show. This week’s edition, as it almost always is, was an ecclectic mix of country gold from all eras, going as far back as 1927, this week. If you have yet to listen to the program, it’s three hours of solid classic country music from 2005 on back to the beginnings of country music. It comes your way, live, every Thursday at 4p ET, online at the Asheville Free Media website. Just click their name to go there. If you can’t catch the live edition, simply go to the Asheville Free Media Ultimate Twang page, scroll down and 1) Click listen to listen via Windows Media, ITunes, etc., or 2) Look for the gray play button below the list of dates, to simply listen directly from the site. And, there is also an encore performance of the show on the station, beginning 9a ET, on Monday.
Thanks to you, Ultimate Twang is the most popular show on Asheville Free Media, with nearly five thousand listeners!
And don’t forget, next week’s show is a special show, as we are going to play all songs that have yet to air on Ultimate Twang. Amazing as it seems, after well over two years, there are still numerous hits that have yet to make an appearance on the program, and we’re going to play some of them.
