Music Groupsourcing Request

[Michael_ Gee]

A brief explanation. My Christmas present from my wife was the opportunity to be disc jockey for one hour on the local nonprofit radio station on Martha's Vineyard, which you can do in return for a contribution of medium generous size. Station's music tastes are dead aimed at the aging hippie demo. Also, it is the Vineyard, so a lot of sensitive folkish stuff, but much stuff normal people like, too. I'm going to give them two genres, country and
western. Just off the top of my head I've got more songs than I'll have time for, but trusting in the wisdom of crowds I'll open this thread for suggestions because I'm sure to have missed a don't miss entry.
PS: If your suggestion is from the 21st century, don't bother.

Thanks in advance.

Good suggestions here. I had forgotten Tom T. Hall shame on me. Already picked "Big Iron" over "El Paso" for Marty Robbins. Just like that one better.

Start and end your set with "Eruption."

Just play the full version of In-A-Gada-A-Eva and that's half your time right there.

Billy Joe Frazier - Georgia on a Fast Train

Great song, yes, and one of my favorites when I occasionally dial up country, but <ahem> it's Billy Joe SHAVER.

Dixie, I believe I'm gonna go with "Cowboy and the Poet" for my Tom T. Hall entry.

Play these albums back to back, and you're covered, too.

On the way out the door, though, how about posting this
in a continuous loop on their website? Thank in advance, etc. ...

On a more serious note, "Pancho and Lefty" gotta be in there ...

Devil Woman is another great option.
