Broadcaster CommentsFiddles & FretsWelcome to Fiddles & Frets. I play a variety of acoustic music including folk, singer/songwriter, bluegrass, blues, Irish, other world music, and instrumental. I take a special interest in playing music by "unknowns", as well as the more known performers. There is some very good music out there by people we never heard of. I like to do my part in getting some of that music out. There is usually an interview on the show.Check out the current interview below. If you would like to hear an interview right away, click the following link:Ray Naylor's Podcast Blog I always welcome suggestions, so please write to me at the email you see above. FIDDLES & FRETS WILL END ON MARCH 24TH. THANK YOU FOR ALL WHO HAVE LISTENED TO THE SHOW IN THE LAST 2+ YEARS. The current interview is with Russ Edwards. In the 1960's, Russ Edwards recorded for Scenic Records, Cameo/Parkway, Decca, and Musicor. Russ began his music career as a teenager covering and sounding like country artists of that day. He then began writing and recording his own songs. Giant Gene Arnold, DJ Hall of Famer said of Russ Edwards, "One of the earliest innovators of the country/folk/pop synergy …” Chet Adkins said "That cat is good..." Russ sings and writes county music when it was country. His influences include Jimmy Rogers, Ernest Tubb, Hank Williams, Hank Snow, Hank Thompson, & Little Jimmy Dickens, Faron Young & Bill Haley & Johnny Cash. Russ has worked with several of these artists, and even sat on the floor in a hotel sharing songs with Elvis Presley. Russ Edwards continues to perform his music, mostly in the South Jersey/Philadelphia area, continuing to entertain audiences by both his songs as well as stories of his most intersting life.
