Today we pay a special tribute to Eck Robertson, the original master of Texas Fiddle, and one of the progenitors of a major movement that swept the mid-20s: Country Music. Robertson and his partner Henry Gilliland had undeniable ties to the Confederacy, so while their contributions to folk and country music are worth citing, we also will hold them to account for their involvement with the war to enslave their fellow Americans.

NO MUSIC INCLUDED, PLAYLIST ON SPOTIFY - 1922-2 - The Original Funny Girl Fanny Brice, Paul Whiteman, and Ted Lewis

We're taking a year-by-year journey through the last 100 years of popular music, starting in the jazz age and making our way to the modern era. Listen to - and discuss - music that you've never heard of as we move through the years to see who did what first and when. Cunningham's Law states that "the best way to get the right answer on the internet is not to ask a question; it's to post the wrong answer."

In our upcoming episodes we'll be making our way through the acoustic era, before the electric microphone was popular, and you just shouted real loud at the studio.
