This was the first show of the WHUS spring calendar, and we focused on much lesser-heard classic bluegrass. The Johnson Mountain Boys were a bit of a focus, but we also heard from the Flatt Mountain Boys, Charlie Moore & Bill Napier, James King, The Country Gentlemen, The Gillis Brothers, Bennie And Vallie Cain, and a bunch of 45s I hauled to the studio including the flip sides of two Jack Cooke singles, both sides of the Arthur Smith single of "Feudin' Banjos," a little Mac Martin, and some Jimmie Williams & Red Ellis.
We also featured at least a track from four classic albums that have been released on CD for the first time by Rural Rhythm. Artists included Red Smiley, Curly Fox, Lee Moore, and Hylo Brown. We are eager to get even more of these gems on the air as they are released.Northern classic bluegrass included Bear Bridge Band and the first Gibson Brothers CD.
Current music included the #1 single and album from The Spinney Brothers, Larry Efaw and the Bluegrass Mountaineers, Alex Leach, Sammy Adkins, Don Rigsby, Newton & Thomas, The Roys, Jack Lawrence, Noam Pikelny, Little Roy & Lizzy, and new music from The Easter Brothers. We played another song from the Rhonda Vincent CD that accompanies author Nancy B. Brewer's book, "The House With The Red Light." 
Of course The Dillards gave us an ode to the ground hog which described what we would like to do with him after that lousy forecast earlier in the day.Amy will be back next week for another 3-hour show, so be sure to tune in to hear the banjos and fiddles ring!
