Subject: RE: Coffee Drinking Nighthawk - WWVA
Thanks for this great site. I first found Lee Moore on WWVA when I was a kid, way before I was in High School. I don't know how many nights I woke up almost automatically after midnight to tune him in on my old Philco Upright. I loved everything he used to play. I haven't heard his rendition of "Dark as a Dungeon" on You Tube nor has it been referenced in anything I've read about Lee on various websites. He did the best rendition of this song that I have ever heard.

Like many others on this post, Lee was my introduction to real country music and he was certainly a bridge to the folk revival of the 60's and 70's. We have a great 24 hour a day folk music station here in Boston with the call letters WUMB. You can get it on line and there's a wonderful program called "Traditional Folk" with Sandy Sheehan on Sunday nights from 9 PM to midnight. It reminds me a bit of Lee. Sandy even drinks coffee in the studio.
