This week we have a tap dancing record - really - a jet-fueled performance by a revival preacher that nothing could hold down, one of Hank Williams' best friends, Curley Williams (shown here with his band), some retro country from Jake Vaadeland, one of the first country blues bottleneck guitar players and a song by the guy who gave the world The Monster Mash.
