Merry Christmas!

Merry Christmas everyone.... I hope you all enjoy a peaceful, happy, holiday season and have a great 2009!  I hope it will be your best year yet!

I will not be doing my show today due to an unexpected but PLEASANT surprise!  My husband got off early from work and we are about to go out for a nice Christmas eve dinner.

I will be in Nashville next week but I am bringing my laptop and HOPE to still do a show on Monday as long as the hotel has wireless!  I definitely won't be doing a show on New Year's Eve, however, as I will be seeing Del & the Boys, the Stringdusters, and the Emmitt-Nershi Band at the Ryman Auditorium!  If anyone is in Nashville next week and would like to Mash on Tuesday night at the Station Inn, or get together maybe on Monday (no plans as of yet!), send me an email to TeriAnnMcLean@aol.com because I will be checking my email from my phone or laptop!

Otherwise... see ya next year!

Monday Night Christmas Music....

Merry Christmas Bluegrass Mix Fans,

Once again on my show tonight, I will be playing all Christmas music.

God Bless,

10 Days Until Christmas....

Hello Bluegrass Mix Fans,

Sorry to have missed last Monday night's broadcast.

Tonight, if all goes well, I will be playing all Christmas music during my Deep Cut Bluegrass show beginning @ 10pm Eastern on The Bluegrass Mix.

As I'm writing this, I've not heard from either Teri Ann or Mike Hartman... but I'm assuming they will be broadcasting tonight as well. Although, I'm not sure what songs they have on their play lists but I'm sure there will be some Christmas songs!

It's very cold here in Iowa today... right now it is -3 degrees and the high is only expected to be about 10 above.

Hope you can join me tonight!

Both Mike and Michael Off Tonight

Hey Bluegrass Mix Fans,

I just received a phone call from my buddy, Mike Hartman and he's not going to be able to make his show tonight either. His "day job" is carrying over into the evening as well.

So, it appears that Teri Ann may be the only live DJ tonight.

Too Much "Day Job" No Show Tonight...

Hey there Bluegrass Mix fans,

It's a very busy time of year for me at my "day job" and today (tonight as well) there's so much I must get completed.

So I will not be doing my show tonight.

Catch ya' next week!


Thanks,

With Christmas Just 4 Weeks Away!

Hey there Mixers,

With Christmas just 4 weeks away, I hope you will join me tonight on my show Deep Cut Bluegrass starting @ 10pm Eastern for some great Christmas music in addition to the usual serving of today's Bluegrass music.

At the time of this posting, I've not heard any confirmation as to whether or not Teri Ann is back with us tonight @ 6pm Eastern.... I hope she can make it.

Mike Hartman should be in @ 8pm with another fine show... and I'm sure he has some Christmas music on his list tonight as well.

I hope you all have a great Thanksgiving Holiday!

Try It Again Tonight!

Hey Bluegrass Mix Listeners,

I'm hoping to be able to broadcast tonight as part of the Monday Night Bluegrass Mix Blockbuster!

As longs as a farmer doesn't pull down an overhead fiber optic cable that serves much of the southern part of Iowa, as long as my ISP doesn't' fail, as long as the power company keeps the electricity flowing and as long as there are no other technical issues... I should be broadcasting @ 10pm Eastern time.

At this moment, as far as I know, we should have Teri Ann @ 6pm Eastern, Mike Hartman @ 8pm Eastern and then I will be here @ 10pm Eastern.

Please join us tonight!

Sorry I Missed Last Night - Internet Service Outage

Hey Bluegrass Mix Fans,

I ended up missing my show last night due to my ISP (Mediacom) experiencing a system wide service outage.

The outage lasted for over 7 hours!

Hmmm... I wonder who spilled their coffee into the system? ;-)

Hopefully, I will be back next Monday night!

Monday Night 10/27/08

Hey Bluegrass Mix Fans,

Tonight's Monday Night Bluegrass Mix Blockbuster will be at least one DJ short.

Mike Hartman is off on a well deserved vacation.

As of this moment, I've not received confirmation from Teri Ann as to whether or not she will be on... I hope she is.

Please join me @ 10pm Eastern for Deep Cut Bluegrass!

Monday Night UPDATE!!!!!

Hey Bluegrass Mix Fans,

Earlier I posted that both Mike Hartman and I would not be doing our shows tonight, however I was half wrong. Mike will be here tonight at his regular 8pm Eastern show time. It will be next week when Mike is gone on vacation.... sorry.

The work load I have this week at my portrait studio is requiring all of my attention and free time so I will not be doing my show this week.

As you can see below this post, Teri Ann is not able to make it either.

But there should be another DJ stepping up to the plate and that is Sky Powers... I believe he will start an impromptu show @ 5pm Eastern.

Until next week!

I hope someone fills in!

Well it looks like we will have no live programming tonight on the Mix because I, too, need to take off for something going on at my church. Maybe someone will fill in for Mike, Michael, or myself.

I will be back on Wednesday, however, as well as of course be back next Monday night at my regular time.

I hope ya'll will tune in when I get back... don't forget about me!!! :-)

Good thoughts...

Monday Night And We're One DJ Short...

Hey there Bluegrass Mix listeners,

Teri Ann will not be with us this evening for her 6pm (Eastern) Monday night show as her laryngitis is still causing problems from last week. It's hard to do a live broadcast when you can't talk.

Mike Hartman should be ready to go for this evening @ 8pm Eastern.

My show Deep Cut Bluegrass is ready to go tonight @ 10pm Eastern. However, my voice is a littel rough. This past weekend I attended my high school 35th class reunion. My voice is rather hoarse because of all the talking and needing to talk loud to be heard over all the others who were talking. Whew!

On my play list for this evening:

• John Thomas Oaks and Grand Central
• Carrie Newcomer
• Jim Van Cleve
• Jerry Douglas
• Randy Korhs
• Donna Hughes

Just to mention a few.



Thanks for listening,

Michael L. Browns

laryngitis!

Well folks... it's that time of year... the time of year when school teachers come down with any number of "bugs" that the children bring back to school with them after summer is over! I just caught my first one! Unfortunately that means I have a head cold, along with a lovely case of laryngitis, which prevents me from doing my show today.

Let's hope I recover quickly! Ya'll know how much I love to talk! ;-)

Tonight on Deep Cut Bluegrass

Hey Bluegrass Mix Listeners,

Monday's sure do roll around fast these days!

I received an email from Terri Ann and she will not be doing her 6pm Eastern show this evening and at this time no other DJ has stepped up to the plate to cover her time slot.

That leaves Mike Hartman @ 8pm Eastern and then me @ 10pm Eastern.

On my show tonight, I have a brand new single from a band you may have not yet heard from yet... the band is from my home state of Iowa!

The name of the band is Southern Reign (www.southernreign.com). The band members include two sister that I've know since they were just kids... Cindie (Wilson) Beem and Tabatha (Wilson) Hood.

Cindie sings and plays guitar... Tabatha sings and plays bass. They are joined by Cindie's husband Larry on banjo and then last but not least is Mark Hargrove on mandolin. Larry also plays Dobro (resophonic guitar).

The single I'm playing from their new independent project "New Reign" is titled... "Another Night". This song will be the first one I play tonight!

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

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.
