The Eddie Stubbs Show: Airchecks
Eddie Stubbs hosted a Sunday afternoon show on WAMU FM in Washington DC from the 1990s to the mid-2000s, playing classic honkytonk, traditional country and vintage bluegrass.
These shows were recorded by me live off the air onto whatever was handy at the time: cassette tapes, VHS tapes, zip hard drives, flash drives and solid state drives, then eventually digitized and added to the Internet Archive. Many shows are complete, but some aren't, FYI.
This collection is growing so check back.
