Radiothon 2014 -- Week #1 - 2/23/2014

Well, we've survived our first week of Radiothon for 2014, and while we didn't reach our two week show goal today, we still did okay.  If you were one of the fifteen folks who made a pledge to WHUS today during Bluegrass Cafe...THANKS!!  If you didn't yet make a pledge, we sure hope you'll think about doing it next Sunday afternoon!  

Of all of the wonderful recordings and other delightful premiums we had to offer as thank you gifts today, by far, our most popular was "Side By Side" -- the new Rebel recording from Ralph Stanley & Ralph Stanley II.  Fabulous!  It sure is a great thing to know that Ralph Stanley and his music still appeal to so many people.

Ralph & Ralph II -- super popular
in Storrs, CT!

Our playlist for the show today was drawn from the wonderful recordings we have available as thank you gifts.  Big thanks to these record labels for their fabulous contributions to our fundraising efforts:  Mountain Fever Records, Mountain Home, Mountain Roads Recordings, Patuxent Music, Rebel Records, and Rural Rhythm.  

Next Sunday, we'll see how many folks can join in and voice their support for Bluegrass music on the air at WHUS.  Hope you can be one of 'em!
