This session features Brownie Lee Hamilton, first solo and then with his band. For the solo session, the irrepressible Brownie walked into the studio, sat down at the piano, introduced himself, and launched straight into a rousing take on a familiar song that could have been written for him. After a few songs by himself, Brownie joins the band and the energy level rises. By the end of the session, the band is wailing.

Richard Winham joined WUTC five years after the station began broadcasting to the Chattanooga area and the Tennessee Valley.
