We also included a bit of newer music from three CDs. The common "theme" of the CDs (in hindsight) seemed to be New Hampshire banjo picker, Herman McGee, as we played tunes from the brand new CD by Herman's family's band, White Mountain Bluegrass ("Oh So Many Years" on their own WMB label), a recording from a Maine-based group called the Radio Gang (Herman plays the banjo & guitar with this band), and Herman's very-own solo recording called "Family & Friends." All of these CDs are quite good, and doubtless, you'll be hearing plenty more from them in future weeks.
Sam Tidwell's music got a bit more airplay on Sunday, as well. If you didn't make it to the very-fine Sam Tidwell Tribute Day in Sterling last weekend, you missed a really great time. Event co-organizer Myrna Riquier made sure the event was recorded for Charter Communications ATV 14 (serving 16 towns in northeastern CT), so perhaps you'll see a recording of some of the festivities on the air at a future time. We'll let you know if we find out anything about that happening. In the meantime, though, be sure to check out Jack Holland's great blog post about this event, including lots of pictures.
The nice folks at the upcoming Grey Fox Bluegrass Festival have given us four single-day passes (each good for one attendee) to give away on the air, so the plan is to give one away each week between now and the festival (July 16-19). Yesterday's winner was a very happy one -- keep on listening, as we hope to make someone else very happy next Sunday.
I'll be back with you next Sunday, 6/28, and we'll welcome in a Guest DJ, Clyde Proch. It should be a fun show...
Thanks for listening -
Amy
