Flotsam and Jetsam
Too preoccupied to post here, it seems, but a few tidbits over the last couple of months (click on photos to enlarge): Speaking of which, there are many recordings of that song, but this is a favorite of mine, from … Continue reading
April Update
—And a May notice: HAH will not air Saturday, 13May23, making room for an Orgy®. It’s been a while since I’ve posted here, but I’ve been getting occasional queries from listeners, like “When are you going back live?” I don’t … Continue reading
Running Late—But This Is Not 38—
Nor Old 97, either (read on). It’s been a bit of rough week, what with a touch of the CCP Virus on top of dental surgery (preparation for a couple of implants, which has left me with a sore mouth … Continue reading

Oops! Preempted Tomorrow (Dec 3rd), Back Next Saturday
Just Tuesday this week I learned that HAH was going to be preempted for the next three Saturdays, for WHRB’s semi-annual Orgy® Period. However, Orgy® Director Ezra was kindly able to rearrange the schedule so we’ll just lose this one … Continue reading
It’s 1985, and The Critton Hollow String Band Are in Town!
If there is a better name for an old-timey music town than Paw Paw, West Virginia, I don’t know what it is. And that’s where The Critton Hollow String Band are from. Their core founders are Joe and Sam Herrmann, … Continue reading
