First version of "I Don't Believe You've Met My Baby" I hit on Spotify seems to be a rerecord with a ringer instead of Ira. Was able to find a more authentic version though.

Agreed. The Louvins episode is what pulled me in.

i just subscribed today and am going to give it a listen.

Two things, in no particular order:1) Don Rich had some crazy eating habits 2) The Buck and the Buckaroos bluegrass album Ruby is great.

Going to see if I can use the long weekend to make it through the three-parter (!) on “Harper Valley PTA.”

Yeah Tyler's no slouch. And he's a deep, deep music nerd -- the final episode of the season, when he responded to listener questions, he damn near blew my mind when he mentioned he was a Disco Inferno fan. Followed him immediately after that on Twitter.

So hey, I wrote a Louvin Brothers pastiche once, which I kind of like. But I never had an appropriate project to perform it in or had friends follow through on their interest in doing so. I could post this lyrics here if you like.

I wrote this Louvin Brothers pastiche once and it kind of scared me, I felt like I was channeling Ira. I am posting it here in honor of this Holy Week of Our Lenten Quarantine. Stay safe!
Don't Be A Stranger To The Manger - James Redd(Chorus)Don't be a stranger to the mangerDon't keep your distance from the crossDon't forget you'll have to answer toThe man upstairs who's boss
One day there'll come an onslaughtOf a great Satanic hordeWhen we fight that final battleWill you side up with the Lord?
(Verse)So many men and womenPursuing gold and fameSeeking out their own destructionLike moths before the flame
They'll enjoy a few good hoursBut at what enormous costWhen their one immortal soulFor eternity is lost
( repeat chorus)(2nd verse)On the stages of theaters (pronounced "the-aters")On the floors of ballrooms grandIn the discotheques and nightclubsAcross this sinful land
You can hear their voices risingIn a great unruly swellIs there anything more certainThan where in the end they'll dwell?
(chorus)
