Segment 3: Peachy
Just about two years ago, longtime faithful listener Rich in Illinois sent an email requesting Fred Waring’s recording of “Little Peach”. At the time, I didn’t have it, so instead, I played Jack Stillman’s version in a set of “peachy” songs. Well, I now have a copy of Waring’s “Little Peach”, so here’s another “peachy” set. It’s a little late, Rich, but here’s Waring’s Pennsylvanians.
