We're back this week with another BRAND NEW edition of the show! I come up with segment topics from a variety of sources. Composer and artist birthdays, historical events, current events, inventions, obscure words, animals and so on. But this show has perhaps the most unusual source to date for a segment topic: the original, vintage sheet music for western themed songs framed and hanging on the walls of the men's room in the Dog House Saloon at Tanque Verde Guest Ranch in Tucson, Arizona! We'll also have two segments of "stair" and "stairway" songs to thank the Avalon Lions Club for replacing the stairs, porch and railing outside the KISL studios. They even donated $500 toward materials for the project! We'll also take a musical journey to Arizona. There are lots of records making their RRR debut on this show, and be sure to listen to the very end, because we had time to squeeze in an extra record after the last segment. Enjoy the show!

Here's the complete playlist:

Segment 1: Stairs

Climbing The Stairs (Into Your Heart) – Jack Denny AHO / Scrappy Lambert, v.

Segment 2: Sheet Music 

Home On The Range – Don Bestor AHO / Neil Buckley, v.

Segment 3: Stairways

Stairway Of Dreams – Lud Gluskin AHO / Unidentified Vocal Trio

Segment 4: Sheet Music

Don't You Know Or Don't You Care – Jolly Coburn AHO / Bill Hawley, v.

Segment 5: Arizona

Ridin' Down The Arizona Trail – Jimmie Davis

Bonus:

Medley: They Made It Twice As Nice As Paradise And They Called It Dixieland; Come Back To Arizona; You'll Always Be The Same Sweet Baby; Down Honolulu Way – Conway's Band
