Comedy Routine

Steel Guitar Instrumental

The Baldheaded End Of The Broom

I'm Sending You Red Roses

Homemade Recordio Disc. Some large scuffs and bumps on the edge of the disc with some delamination on the Granpaw Jones side. Playing surface is mostly intact but has plenty of scuffs and marks.

Side A:
Sleppy + Honey
Show
Feb 8 1949

Side B:
Granpaw Jones
Baol
Feb.8.1949

Side A starts during a country comedy routine that lasts for 2 minutes. You can hear a man and woman talking to each other as well as an audience laughing. These two people might be Sleepy Jeffers (called Willie) and Honey Davis. Also mentioned is Chubby.

Next is a cut to a steel guitar instrumental by an unnamed musician. Incomplete.

Side B starts with The Baldheaded End Of The Broom by Grandpa Jones with a few skips in the first 15 seconds. Sound is relatively clear for this disc and you can hear the banjo, vocals, and bass. The recording is incomplete but seems to be most of the song.

Next is a quick cut into I'm Sending You Red Roses by Jimmy Wakely. It's unclear if this is the version released as a 78 or not.

I would guess that this is another snippet from the Magic Valley Jamboree featuring Sleepy, Honey, and Chubby, but it's not entirely clear from the audio or discs. The Grandpa Jones track sounds great!
