Johnson Family Radio Set Lists, 1951

Description

Select setlists for the Johnson Family's weekly Saturday night radio broadcasts, prepared by guitarist and emcee Ras Johnson.

Each week, the Johnsons received piles of fan mail, often including requests; Ras Johnson's typewritten set lists include notes about fan requests, comments, and dedications. These documents also provide insight into the Johnsons' repertoire, and into their listening audience and its tastes.
