What a day! We had Bob Bond, the promoter of The Last Green Festival, visit by phone, and we had local favorites Nick Anderson and Monty McClanahan visit with us in person in the studio to talk local bluegrass history, upcoming events, and to play several songs with just guitar and mandolin, reminiscent of the Charlie & Bill style. Monty may be known outside of our listening area by his song, "Walk Away," recorded by Valerie Smith & Liberty Pike. Of course we played the VS&LP version on this show.

We played some brand new music on this program, including songs from Darrell Webb, Nu-Blue, The Roys, The Grass Cats, and Del & Dawg. Recent music included songs from Audie Blaylock, Bob Amos, Travers Chandler, Nightflyer, Karl Shiflett, Balsam Range, The Earl Brothers, and Eddie & Martha Adcock with Tom Gray. We called on our Heritage Corner to work all eight sides into the show that Bill Monroe and The Blue Grass Boys recorded on this day 66 years ago with what is now considered the First Bluegrass Band - Monroe, Lester Flatt, Earl Scruggs, Chubby Wise, and Howard Watts (a.k.a. Cedric Rainwater).
Amy and I both will be attending the IBMA World of Bluegrass which will keep us away for the next two shows. James & Cathy Ward have graciously offered to fill-in for us during our absence.
