OMGoodness….I remember as a young girl when my grandparents would take me to Sunset park and we’d listen to those good ol’country singers! I still have pictures of some of them up on the stage singing! Randy Travis was the most recent one. I just have such good memories from there!

If you’re interested in the history of country music parks, check out the video documentary entitled “Buck Lake Ranch: Nashville of the North.” Read about it at newshoundproductions.com

This is great!!! I am now 35 years old, but have a lot of memories from Sunset Park. From as early as I can remember until the time I was around 12 of 13 (and wanted to stay home) my parents would pack us up every summer weekend and we would go camping at Sunset Park. So many great summer memories from childhood were there. I’ll have to get an address from my father for you.

Man ol’ man! It just doesn’t get any better than ol’ Hank!
Sunset Park and New River Ranch are all but gone now. Just a mere memory. How sad; I really wish they were still around for us younger ol’ timers to enjoy.

Croz,

Good advice and thanks, I’ll take that approach and save WFMU some bandwidth, particularly given how much their blog rules.

Just FYI, hotlinking is really frowned upon in general, even just hotlinking pictures. In this case it is an audio file which is considerably bigger. It uses up somebody else’s bandwidth that they have paid for, and in the case of WFMU they go through a lot, I’m sure. If you can host it yourself that is always the way to go. Cheers.

Croz,

You know, I’m not sure. I figure WFMU is cool with it given I trackbacked to the original post, and simply linked to the actual audio file. That being the case, if they suggest they’re not cool with it, I’ll gladly take it down and leave the link to the original post, not too big a deal.

Just curious: do you have permission to hotlink to files hosted by WFMU?

Thank you! Excellent – even better than the Mother’s Best shows -
