James and Cathy Ward - hosts of "Bluegrass Rules" on Tuesdays, 3-5PM |
Generally, when doing a show, I carry A LOT of CDs to WHUS in two very big bags. Do I need to? Not really, but after 20+ years of broadcasting, I confess that having the "extra" music is sort of like having a big security blanket. Today, though, I thought trying something slightly different would be smart -- I carried in only 3 CDs today, and the rest of the music came from the pretty decent-sized WHUS Bluegrass library. Hooray! I think I might have to try this strategy a bit more often...
Be sure to join James and Cathy for their "Bluegrass Rules" every Tuesday afternoon, if you're able. While we know there are tons of options for round-the-clock BG listening these days (i.e. Sirius Satellite Radio, WAMU's BluegrassCountry.org, etc.), we think having 5 hours a week devoted to BG broadcasting on a pretty eclectic college radio station is kind of special, too.
Happy Thanksgiving to all.
