WWW.BluegrassRadio.Org

Earlier this past week I found out that BluegrassRadio.Org, the longest running and most respected of internet radio stream will be shutting down their internet streams on 1 Apr 09. Mr Clyde Scott has had quality bluegrass music streaming for over 5 years.

Clyde stated that he wanted to invest his time and money into his grandchildren and I can understand where he is coming from there. Running the Bluegrass Mix is also very time consuming, especially when a "Day" job is involved.

We would like to welcome all of the listeners of BluegrassRadio.Org to try us out for a while once Clyde shuts down. No.. we're not BluegrassRadio.org, and there may never be another one like it, but we're proud of what we have.

To accomodate those listeners that would rather listen to just music and not DJ hosted live shows, we will add a separate stream with just that. However the prerecorded syndicated shows of Terry Herd - "Into The Blue", Cindy Baucom - "Knee Deep in Bluegrass" and Gene Skinner - "Great Stuff Bluegrass" will still be aired on that additional stream for the time being.

We here at the Bluegrass Mix wish Clyde and his family all the best, but are saddened by the upcoming loss of such fine bluegrass programming.
