I have asked this before, but don't remember if anyone has any of these that they might post as MP3.

The 1950s WSM radio show "Two Guitars" with Jerry Byrd and Chet Atkins.

Sure would like to hear what that sounded like!!

I too, have been searching, wishing and hoping for a find like that but thus far, to no avail.

I wonder if the station might have any in archives?

Nope. There is rumour that WSB threw all of them away many years ago. There are folks who taped them at home on reel to reel recorders, but so far none have been posted anywhere. Can you even imagine how wonderful that must have sounded.

Don't give up hope. You never know what's out there as this story illustrates:

Vernon, I knew if ANYBODY had it, you did. You and Junior totally absorbed that stuff! I had the pleasure of actually being in the studio for a couple of those shows. Jerry was very gracious and obliged my request for "Limehouse Blues" on the spot.
