Monday Night's On The Mix

Hey Mixers,

Tonight should be another great "live" listening experience here on The Bluegrass Mix beginning @ 6pm (Eastern).

Teri Ann from 6-8 (Eastern) will be featuring an interview she did recently with Jason McKendree. I must confess, I've already heard the interview and she did a great job. I want to hear Teri Ann do more Interviews!

Mike Hartman is on the roster once again for tonight from 8-10 (Eastern) and I'm sure he will have me laughing with his great sense of humor and comedic timing... Mike is a natural.

Then following Mike, I should be on with my show from 10-Midnight (Eastern). I won't have any cool interviews like Teri Ann and I won't be quite as entertaining as Mike Hartman... but I will be playing some great Bluegrass music for you.

Please join us this evening for great Bluegrass music here on The Bluegrass Mix.

More Stable "Up-Time"

With all the stormy weather that I've been experiencing in the Charleston WV area and with that stormy weather increasing the frequency and chances of power outages I decided to purchase and install a battery backup (UPS) system for the stream computer and modem.
In the past week alone the power had been knocked out 3 times causing the system to go down and lose the listeners.

Hopefully this will provide a more stable stream.

Back on this Saturday 9pm-11pm

Hey folks. Come on out to the Tin Roof Lounge this Saturday at 9pm. I'm looking forward to being back in cyberspace after two weekends off to do some gigs.
I'm also working on a new album that I hope to get finished before the end of the year! It's gonna have at least 5 original compositions and I'm real excited to be working with some great musicians on it. See you saturday!

Interview with Jason McKendree of the Josh Williams Band!

Hi folks!

A couple of announcements actually from the "Something Borrowed; Something Bluegrass" world of Teri Ann McLean...

I will be unable to do my Wednesday show this week (June 25th)... not sure if anyone will be filling in for me, but tune in and see! And of course, the Bluegrass Mix always streams the greatest music even when you don't have a live DJ to keep you company!

I will return on Monday night, June 30th (6 to 8 PM Eastern Time) when I will be airing an interview I recorded with Jason McKendree of the McKendrees family band and also of the Josh Williams Band. Jason will be talking about the new project, the Josh Williams Band, as well as some exciting McKendrees news. If you've seen any good movies lately, you may know what I'm talking about!

Otherwise, TUNE IN TO FIND OUT!!!

Enjoy the rest of the week and hope to see you in the chatroom for my Monday night show!

Teri Ann McLean
Host of "Something Borrowed; Something Bluegrass"
Mon. 6 to 8 PM, Wed. 4 to 6 PM EST

Roger Randolph on Fox Business News today

For those of you who are interested and have access to the Fox Business News cable channel, The Bluegrass Mix's Own Roger Randolph will be appearing live today, about 2:30 eastern via a satellite link from Charleston WV.
While not on the camera in promoting bluegrass, it should still be somewhat interesting.

Another Successful Monday Night On The Mix

Hey Mixers,

Teri Ann, Mike Hartman and I had another successful Monday night with our live shows here on the Bluegrass Mix.

Thanks to everybody who listened tonight and especially those who stopped in the Chat Room.

Before I finish this post.... there is something that we need all of the Bluegrass Mix listeners to do.... please tell everybody you know about the Bluegrass Mix. Invite them to stop by the station's web site and listen as often as they can.

That's all for now,

Oh Yeah It's Monday Again!

Greetings Bluegrass Mix Listeners,

It's Monday once again and so far the weather here in Iowa is good. There are no thunderstorms predicted for tonight.

So as along as I have electricity... as long as my ISP doesn't fail... as long as my computer behaves itself... as long as the Shoutcast Severs (used to distribute the Bluegrass Mix all over the world) remain up and running... I should be able to do my "Deep Cut Bluegrass" show tonight @ 10pm Eastern time.

Keep Grassin'

Roger Is "On The Air"

Greetings,


Our very own Roger Randolph (aka "The Boss") is back on "the air" after all!

Technology.... it's a "love-hate" relationship.

When it works, we love it... when it's broke, we hate it.

Oh the marvels of modern technology.

Go Roger!

Cable issues in my area..

Hey Bluegrass Express listeners.. Roger's show tonight may be nixed due to the line of severe storms that went thru and the outage of cable (On a cable modem). Hopefully it will be restored before very long.

Keep on listenin'

Tin Roof Lounge Saturdays 9-11pm EST

Hello People.
Just dropping a line to let folks know that I will be returning after a few weeks off due to gig scheduling on June 28. I'll have a couple weeks also in July that I won't be available but things should cool down with the weather and I should be dj'ing a little more regular at that time.
Take Care,

Tonight @ 10pm Eastern

Good Monday to everybody,

Here in Centerville, Iowa... we should have a thunderstorm free day and evening. We shouldn't be experiencing any power failures.

As many of you may already know, there are several cities here in Iowa that are experiencing serious flooding from the storms of the past couple of weeks. Here in Centerville, we are not having those problems but we have received a tremendous amount of rain. Many creeks and small streams are out of their banks and the one river we have that runs through our county is out of its banks as well... but nothing serious.

Hopefully, as long as my ISP doesn't fail, I will be doing my show "Deep Cut Bluegrass" tonight @ 10pm Eastern time. My show follows Mike Hartman's show and as far as I know (as I type this blog entry) Mike should be broadcasting tonight. His area of Indiana has suffered some flooding and he missed his show last week.

On the technical side of things... I should be using some new equipment tonight as long as UPS makes the delivery today as scheduled. I've purhcased a new microphone and preamp this past week and I'm eager to try them out.
