This holiday season, reach for the one butter that never disappoints. Kerrygold. Made with milk from grass fed cows on Irish family farms, it's rich, creamy and perfect for baking. Whether browning butter for cookies or crafting the flakiest pie crust, Kerrygold's high butterfat content makes all the difference in flavor and texture. Holiday treats will taste extraordinary.

Podcast: Old Time Radio Westerns
Host: Andrew Rhynes
Episode: Daisy Mae (Ernest Tubb)(Martha White) | Grand Ole Opry (07-12-52)
Release Date: December 18, 2025
This episode of Old Time Radio Westerns transports listeners to the heart of 1952’s Nashville with a digitally restored broadcast of the Grand Ole Opry, originally aired July 12, 1952. Hosted by Andrew Rhynes, the episode highlights the stellar musical talents of Ernest Tubb, the Texas Troubadours, the Carter Sisters with Mother Maybelle, Bill Monroe & his Bluegrass Boys, and a special appearance by Hank Williams. The main performance centers around the song “Daisy Mae,” with vintage commercials for Martha White flour enhancing the nostalgic radio experience. Listeners are treated to classic country, bluegrass, and a lively Opry atmosphere—complete with square dances, heartfelt harmonies, and toe-tapping instrumentals.
| Timestamp | Speaker | Quote | |-----------|--------------------------|-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------| | 03:51 | Ernest Tubb | “When I’m with you my darling, all my cares go away... 'Cause you're my darling precious Daisy Mae.” | | 06:10 | Announcer (Bill Monroe) | "Blue moon of Kentucky keep on shining / Shine on the one that's gone and left me blue." | | 13:20 | Square Dance Caller | “Swing your partner, don’t be late!” | | 15:17 | Hank Williams | “Son of a gun, we’ll have big fun on the bayou.” | | 26:34 | Hank Williams | “Honey baby we going honky talking round this town.” | | 24:06 | Host (re: Chet Atkins) | "That boy can really pick that guitar, and I don't mean maybe." | | 28:20 | Host | “This distinguished looking gentleman sitting here on the front row is the governor of Florida. Let’s have a nice Grand Ole Opry welcome for the honorable Full oy.” | | 08:03, 23:02, 31:44 | Host/Announcer | "Bake right with Martha White self rising flour ... Goodness gracious, it's good." |
The tone is joyful and inviting, brimming with the charm of vintage live radio variety shows. There’s a sense of true community, both among the musicians and their extended Opry “neighbors”—listeners at home. Quick, light-hearted musical banter and slick sponsor jingles evoke an era when family, faith, dancing, and simple pleasures shaped both the music and the culture it sprang from. Everyone from the seasoned star (Hank Williams, Ernest Tubb) to the fresh-faced Carter Sisters gets a warm introduction, and the crowd’s energy is palpable in every announcement.
Whether you’re a longtime fan of the Grand Ole Opry or stepping in for a taste of country music’s golden age, this episode delivers a rich, entertaining window into 1952’s radio variety magic. The meticulous digital restoration further enhances the vivid storytelling, dynamic stage presence, and timeless music. Fun, family-friendly, and joyously nostalgic, this episode celebrates both the genre’s legendary icons and the enduring spirit of American roots music.
