Hank Thompson & Porter Wagoner Bear Family Records Winners
First off, huge thanks to everyone who participated in our first anniversary giveaway. We’d like to give a Bear Family box-set to each and every one of you, but unfortunately a collection of Bear Family magnitude doesn’t come cheap so we can only give two collections away. And, it looks like I win both of them! Thanks for playing. Oh wait, Brady is feeding me some BS about conflict of interest, blah…blah…blah.
On to the real winners: Hank Thompson & His Brazos Valley Boys goes to our favorite staunch traditionalist, Paul W. Dennis and the bubbly on-air personality, Double-L, is the recipient of Porter Wagoner’s The Thin Man From The West Plains. Congrats to the both of you.

Paul, get hip to the downloads. I don’t care how old you are, get hip to it. If you can figure out how to post on a blog, you can figure out how to download. Knuckle down, buckle down, do it, do it, do it. You can’t roller skate in a buffalo herd. Oh, and congrats.
