Classic Country Corner
Classic Country Corner is a radio show that airs every Saturday morning at 8 on 98.7 WVMO, a 100-watt community radio station in Monona, Wisconsin. The show features a mix of vinyl and digital music, drawing from a library built from dollar bins, estate sales, and thrift stores. It plays classic country music from legends like Waylon, Willie, Johnny, Dolly, Tammy, and Merle, along with one-hit wonders and songs that should have been hits.
Episodes
Shut Up and Play The Hits
The theme of this week’s show, well there really isn’t one. I had a busy week. Tuesday night I saw Charley Crockett at the Sylvee and then Thursday night I popped down to Chicago to see Bob Mould and Sugar. (ashow i’d been waiting 30 years to see). So I’m a bit worn out from soo much activity on a school night.My notes say “Shut up and play the hits” So we are going to do exactly that.HERE’S WHAT
Birthday Records
We are back with another all analog, all vintage all vinyl show! This morning we will be playing tracks from albums that I received for my birthday this year from my wonderful parents, who have made it their mission to rescue as many records as possible from the thrift stores and tractor auctions across Wisconsin.There really isn’t any overarching theme this week, other than the usual subjects of
Labor Day Show
In Wisconsin, Labor Day became an official state holiday in 1893. Labor Day became a national holiday in 1894. President Grover Cleveland, after breaking the American Railway Union with considerable violence and loss of life, signed a bill making the first Monday in September a national holiday for American workers. It was a blatant attempt to win back public support after using Federal Troops to
TRIBUTE TO DOLLY PARTON
We suffered a huge loss in Country Music this week. Dolly Parton passed away on Tuesday after a brief battle with Cancer. Dolly was 80 years old.This morning’s show is our tribute to Dolly Parton. She was a prolific artist who wrote hundreds of songs, so we can only begin to scratch the surface of her catalog. We will be playing songs performed by Dolly, written by Dolly and made famous by Dolly.H

Killin' Your Man, Wedding Bells May or May Not Be Ringing in the Chapel and Ain't Love Grand ?(Wedding Songs)
The theme for the first section of this week’s show comes from this video that Classic Country Corner Superfan Jenna in McFarland sent me.I’ll be honest, there are dozens if not hundreds of songs about men killing their significant others or objects of their desire, there’s even a term for it “murder ballad”. But songs where it is the other way around? not so much. I was able to find a few female

Drinkin' In The Morning and We Remember David Allan Coe
We lost a legend this week.David Allan Coe passed away on Wednesday at the age of 86.

Country Disco
There is a quote attributed to Pablo Picasso that says something to the effect of “Good artists copy, Great artists steal”. Which upon further investigation, is probably based on a T.S. Elliot quote.That’s a long way to get to this morning's theme. In early March, friend of the show Nate Gibson, host of Back to the Country on WORT, played 3 hours of Country Disco on his show and provided some his
Bob Dylan
The theme of this week’s show comes from what I’m calling my “Baby Boomer Spring Break” trip.Last week, I drove down to Tulsa, Oklahoma, and spent a couple of days at the Bob Dylan Center and the Woody Guthrie Center. They had so many great artifacts and little documentaries. It is truly amazing to see the breadth of work that man created, especially when you look at the ‘63 to ‘68 era.The rest of

Classic Country Songs That I Heard The Grateful Dead Play First
The spark for this week’s theme was my desire to start the show with Johnny Cash “Big River”. I remembered that the Grateful Dead had covered that song and a few Merle Haggard songs came to mind.
