  • mention: Wasserman 19730420;
  • lostlivedead: "Old And In The Way FM Broadcasts, 1973 (FM VI)" "Any doubts about Old And In The Way's strategy to popularize themselves like the Stanley Brothers are erased by this broadcast. In an approximately hour long show, the band plays 15 numbers. Fiddler Richard Greene is along for the broadcast, filling out the band's sound the way the members intended. Included in the set along with traditional material are four contemporary numbers: 'Panama Red,' 'Wild Horses,' 'Lonesome LA Cowboy' and 'Land Of The Navajo'. To any bluegrass fans, this signaled that the group was not bound by convention; to the larger audience of regular KSAN fans, it signaled that Old And In The Way weren't some kind of museum piece. In fact, contemporary bluegrass bands were doing Bob Dylan songs and the like, so doing a Rolling Stones song ('Wild Horses') fit right into that, but it seemed pretty contrarian to the typical Bay Area rock fan at the time. Once again, the band was playing The Lion's Share that night (it was even announced by the dj). In that respect, this performance was like some old Stanley Brothers tape, announcing their night's performance at the local Grange Hall. Only the lack of commercials for a flour company set them apart from old time bluegrass radio broadcasts. Well, and songs about dope."
