Another cassette....
I don't have the generation noted for this one, but it's likely a first generation. Five songs, including two by the Blasters and one by X, plus the fabulous "Dry River," which mirrors my childhood if you replace the oranges with walnuts. The version of "Marie Marie" is performed in a zydeco style, different to the Blasters original.
It's a great tape. The original recorder edited out some of the host's commentary.
Wiki says:
Mountain Stage is a two-hour music radio show, first aired in 1983, produced by West Virginia Public Broadcasting and distributed worldwide by National Public Radio (NPR). Hosted by Larry Groce from the show's inception until 2021 and currently hosted by singer-songwriter and West Virginia native Kathy Mattea, the program showcases diverse music, from the traditional to modern. It is recorded before a live audience, usually at the Culture Center Theater in Charleston, West Virginia, but occasionally travels to other venues elsewhere in the United States. Major private funding is provided by the West Virginia-based law firm of Bailey & Glasser LLP and the West Virginia Tourism Office.

Larry Groce had a Top Ten hit on the Billboard Hot 100 back in 1976. Climbing up all the way to #9, "Junk Food Junkie" was a novelty song wherein the singer pretends to be a natural foods enthusiast while secretly indulging his appetite for Fritos, Dr. Pepper, Big Macs, and Kentucky Fried Chicken.
