| My mother -- Eleanor Orlomoski -- answering the phone, as always. |
We are extremely grateful to the folks who called us both today and last Sunday, and to the fine volunteers who helped us by answering phones: fellow WHUS Bluegrass DJs James Ward and his mom, Cathy Ward, Red House host John Veseskis, perennial helpers, Clyde Proch and Scott Farrar, and my mother, Eleanor Orlomoski. Thanks, everyone!
During the first Sunday of Radiothon, our most popular premium (or, thank you gift) was the brand new recording by Ralph Stanley & Ralph Stanley II called "Side By Side." Today's most popular premium was still Ralph, but this time, it was music recorded more than 40 years ago by Ralph & the Clinch Mountain Boys, and is featured on the 4-CD box set from Rebel, "Ralph Stanley & the Clinch Mountain Boys, 1971-1973." Fabulous music!
UCONN Baseball delayed the beginning of our show today until about 4:40, and the game totally wiped out the second Sunday of the Red Rooster Party Radiothon. As Jim wanted to offer RRP premiums today, we set aside a few songs today from some of the performers you might normally hear on a Red Rooster Party, including Jimmie Rodgers, the Carter Family, the Golden Gate Quartet, and Hank Williams. If you enjoy that sort of rootsy music, be sure to listen to RRP when you can. On Sundays when there are no sports broadcasts, you can hear RRP from 1-4PM.
BIG THANKS once again to EVERYONE who made a pledge to support WHUS during Radiothon, especially those who supported Bluegrass Cafe! We know our listeners are The Best -- thanks for proving that once again in 2014!

| Clyde took a moment to stop answering the phones so that he could enjoy hearing a bit of Danny Paisley... |
