I wish more people would post old radio shows despite the age of the tapes - long to hear some of those earlier recordings that Charlie did when he first started at Radio London in 1973 or whenever it was. I made reel to reel recordings in 1976 - the earliest I have but they are sadly edited- with Charlie and his guests getting chopped! What was I thinking!? It wasnt until 1978 that I realised the error of my ways and by that time Charlie had moved on. I managed to get a couple of tapes including this one from a kind chap called Ron Ray who donated all his Honky Tonk tapes to Charlie I believe. I live in the hope that his family will somehow make an internet Honky Tonk Archive so we can all hear again the master at work, I can dream can;t I? Meanwhile I do the best I can with what I have in these dusty boxes.Wastedpapiershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06833050707322694789noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15815883.post-10752573976085985152012-03-21T06:42:40.721-07:002012-03-21T06:42:40.721-07:00so good to hear Rico the legend
