Monday Night Once Again...

Hello Bluegrass Mix fans,

We find ourselves with another Monday night here on The Mix.

If all goes as scheduled, Teri Ann will be broadcasting @ 6pm Eastern, Mike Hartman @ 8pm Eastern and I will be here @ 10pm Eastern.

On my play list tonight... more new music. This time I have discovered a new band (at least new to me) the "John Thomas Oaks and Grand Central" band. They have a new independent label project called "Blue York" and I will start my show off with their song, "Worth It All."

Also, I have new music from Wayne Taylor's new project along with something from Mashville Brigade.

Hope you can join us tonight!

Tin Roof Lounge

The Tin Roof Lounge is one my favorite things to do an but it seems that the latter half of the year has been as busy as ever for me. Now with wife and two kids, several bands I sit in with, a studio in it's third year pickin up more and more business, pitching songs, and working on my own CD project, I find myself being constantly pulled in several directions at once. I've been up til 1:30am every night this week except last night (4am) workin on sound for a local film production. 40hours on my day job, 40 hours at night.That leaves me exhausted and let down that I just missed a deadline for getting the film ready for a competition by Oct1.
Three gigs in October and IBMA leaves me with no choice but to resume shows in November.
God Bless

Deep Cut Bluegrass - Tonight... More New Music

Hey there Bluegrass Mix fans,

Just a quick update on tonight's programming here on the Mix.

I've not yet received any information as to whether or not Terri Ann will be able to do her show tonight @ 6pm Eastern... I hope we hear from her today.

This week, Mike Hartman is working harder than usual. Last night he filled in for our boss, Roger Randolph. Roger experienced a computer issue with his personal broadcasting computer and was unable to do his show so Mike filled in. Mike should be doing his regular Monday night show... starting @ 8pm Eastern. Then Mike will return on Wednesday night as usual.

Then, the Lord willing and the creek don't rise, I should be broadcasting @ 10pm Eastern. I do have more new music tonight! I have something from Jeanette Williams off of her new release and what a terrific project it is!

Please join us here on The Mix!

Teri Ann McLean's Wednesday show..

Howdy Folks
Teri Ann McLean asked me to post a cancellation of her Wed afternoon (Sept 17) show... She is tending to a family emergency that's involved hospitalization.

We wish her and her family well and hope the best at all times.

Keep her and her family in your thoughts.

No Bluegrass Command Tonight

Hey Mix Fans
Just got a call from our DJ Hal Cottrell, in his area of Dayton ohio they are without power tonight so his show is cancelled for tonight. Hopefully they'll have Dayton plugged in for next weeks show.

There could be a sub tonight too so tune in anyway, we're ALWAYS playing good music. :)

Monday Night Sept. 15th - More New Music

Hey Bluegrass Mix Fans,

I'm really looking forward to my broadcast tonight following Mark Hartman who follows Teri Ann McLean... this block of six hours of great Bluegrass music, live DJs and fun begins @ 6pm Eastern.

On my play list tonight I have a brand new song by Kenny and Amanda Smith from their new "Live and Learn" CD. This one is titled, "Do The Best You Can." WOW... Amanda has such a beautiful voice and of course the harmonies are so good!

Hopefully Teri Ann and Mike Hartman are ready for tonight as I've not heard any official word from them... but I guess, no news is good news.

Remember, Teri Ann @ 6pm.... Mike Hartman @ 8pm.... then me @ 10pm (Eastern)

Labor Day.... 21 Days of Summer Remain

Hey Bluegrass Mix Fans,

If memory serves correct... Summer ends and Fall begins in just 21 days. This year, I'm still astounded by how fast the Summer seems to have gone by. The more I think about it.... the reason must be all the storms we had. At least that's my way of thinking.

Tonight Teri Ann is back from vacation and broadcasting her show (I'm listening as I type). Today, Mike Hartman is attending a small Bluegrass Festival in his area but promised to be back to his home studio in time for his show @ 8pm Eastern.

My show, Deep Cut Bluegrass, will begin @ 10pm Eastern and I have more new music tonight plus a few oldies. In addition to the music, I have a couple of interesting interview segments with Ron Block and Carrie Newcomer.

Hope you can join us tonight here on The Bluegrass Mix!

If You Missed Roger Randolph Sunday Night...

Hey Mixers,

Late tonight (Sunday night) a few of you in the Chat Room were asking, "Where's Roger?"

Well, he's a hard working man and for the past few days, he's been running on fumes and needed to take the night off to get some much needed and deserved rest.

He's OK folks.... so not to worry.

Severe Weather on Long Island!

Howdy listeners!

Well not only do we hardly EVER get tornadoes on Long Island, but we neverrrrr get warnings for them in my town! This is exciting stuff here, haha. I’m sure many of you in "Bluegrass Country" are used to this sort of thing, but I was scared to death driving home towards clouds that were funneling together right in front of me! Major excitement! So far this week alone we’ve had two water spouts (a tornado over water) right in the Long Island Sound which is, oh, a block from me LOL!!!

The Tornado Warning has been lifted for now by the National Weather Service but the local weatherman thinks it will be reissued later when more severe thunderstorms move through, and he said tornadoes are still possible even now. Yikes!

So! I’ll be shutting off my electric and hanging out in my basement with my cat, my bird and my guitar. I may or may not be online for my show later so if anyone wants it, please do it!

Where Has The Summer Gone?

Hey Mixers,

Is it just me or is Summer going by quicker than usual? There must be some connection between my perception and all the severe weather we've had. Maybe that has something to do with it.

Here we are at another Monday night here on the Bluegrass Mix.

To the best of my knowledge, until I learn otherwise, Teri Ann should be here @ 6pm Eastern and of course our resident "Humorist Extraordinaire" Mike Hartman @ 8pm. I should be in by 10pm for my show Deep Cut Bluegrass.

One more thing I want to mention... it's so cool for the station to now have 4 new syndicated Bluegrass Music shows:

• Terry Herd - "Into The Blue"


• Cindy Baucom - "Deep In Bluegrass"


• Gene and Rebecca Skinner - "Great Show -Gospel"


• Gene and Rebecca Skinner - "Great Show - Bluegrass"

Be sure to check the station's Schedule and Hosts pages for more details!

I hope you can join us here tonight on The Bluegrass Mix!

Monday Night In America...

Hey Mixers,

It's Monday night in America and to the best of my knowledge Teri Ann McLean, Mike Hartman and I are ready for another block buster night of Bluegrass Music.

It's a hot one here in Centerville, Iowa today. We're suppose to top out @ 98 degrees today with a Heat Index of over 100.

So... tonight beginning @ 6pm Eastern make some fresh iced tea (make sure you have plenty of ice) and join us tonight for the "Monday Night Bluegrass Mix Block Buster" as Teri Ann kicks things off.

Problems with our website

For those of you who had problems bringing up our site Friday and Sat morning, (www.bluegrassmix.com) we have located the culprit in the sitemeter hit counter code.
Thanks to Michael Browns who tracked down the offender.
I have temporarily removed the sitemeter sode from the website on "Most" of the pages as I suspect that it will soon be fixed on their end and I will re-insert it.

Hope everybody has a nice weekend and that you're taking in some live bluegrass shows in your area. If not then stay tuned right here at The Bluegrass Mix for the very best in FREE bluegrass programming.

Heading Home From The MACC festival

Here it is.. Sunday morning and it's all over until next year (22-25 July 09 so mark your calendars).
The MACC festival thrilled thousands of people once again with music that makes sitting thru a rainstorm worth it! :)

We had a blast TRYING to bring to you live broadcasts of the fun at theh festival but the internet bugs could not be squashed enough to allow us to hook up and stream frm here. Soooo, with that we did what we could and talked with as many people that we could to tell them about the MIX! :)
We had probably over a thousand folks stop by the table asking about what we do, most with internet connections so they left with a promise to check us out and listen in.

We had several artists stop by the table also... Jamie Johnson of the Grascals spent about 15 minutes with us (be listening for the recorded interview during Julie Raye's show this week. Randy Kohrs spent almost an hour with us on Saturday afternoon, also recording an interview. We had fun with them there.
We talked with most of the rest of the artists during our time here at some point, getting some station ID recordings and trying to schedule other interviews.

Dwight McCall came by our campsite Friday night and talked for a while and even sat in and sang a song with us during our jam. Later that same night Aaron Till (AWESOME fiddle player) stopped by and sat in our jam for about and hour or so. We had a blast to say the least!

Julie and I took a ton of pictures and we promise to have them up for viewing as soon as we can.

Already making plans for next year's festival and we'll try our hardest to make sure we can broadcast live, one of the main purposes of us being there.. to bring the festivall closer to our listeners and help get the word out!

Keep checking the web page for news about future festivals where we may be at, would ove to meet up with more of our listeners and chat room visitors! And if you can only attend ONE festival next year.. make it the MACC. the proceeds go to St Judes Childrens Hospital and we ALL know how important that is!

Thursday night.... Broadcasting At The MACC

But only on the 24k stream as we do not have the high speed working yet.

Come on in the chat room and tune in the 24k stream to hear the fun we're having.

Hey Folks
Julie and I are at the MACC but the internet is not working here yet.

Stay tuned, we should be up and running in the morning (Fri)
