I recently appeared on Jorge Arevalo's excellent Hurdy Gurdy Songs program on Radio Free Brooklyn. Highlights of this broadcast include the playing of a recording by Roy Faulkner, the radio singing cowboy who performed and campaigned for the famous radio quack Doc John R. Brinkley and an analysis of the African American roots of a song that Billy Grammer used to play all the time for George C. Wallace. Listen here, episode 98.
