Bluegrass Junction from Sunday April 22, 2012. This episode’s featured album was the famous “Will the Circle Be Unbroken, Vol. 1″ album that was recorded in 1971. It featured some of the best in Nashville and enlarged the bluegrass fan base by turning “new” listeners on to the sounds of traditional bluegrass & country. My friend and fellow music enthusiast, Rich Mullinax, dropped by the studio to share some background information on the “Will the Circle Be Unbroken” album and how comedian Steve Martin is linked to the making of this legendary album.

This is a very special episode of Bluegrass Junction from Sunday April 15, 2012. This was the first show I’ve done since the passing of the legendary Earl Scruggs. He was a hero to all Bluegrass fans and musicians alike. The entire two hours were devoted to Earl’s music and related material. I had the priviledge to have Buddy Blackmon join me as my in-studio guest for this special show. He shared stories about his work experience with Earl and insight on some of Earl’s music contributions over the years. Buddy’s interview begins one hour into this recording.

This will be a very memorable show as I payed tribute to one of my own personal heroes, Earl Scruggs(1924-2012).

Bluegrass Junction from Sunday February 12, 2012. For some unknown reason, the audio of this recorded show got distorted. It did not sound this way over the airwaves. Please forgive us for we must have had some technical issue that caused this distortion. You can still listen to if you would like a challenge for your ears.
