A new episode (15th) of my bi-weekly “Bluegrass and Old Time Music Radio Show” in now available. The show is broadcast four times every Saturday: 7-8 am, 9-10 am, 11 am to noon and 1-2 pm Eastern Time. Remember, if you’re busy and can’t listen to the show, it is also available for download as an mp3 file and as a podcast.
Episode #15 is about the old-time and bluegrass music West Virginia. The state of West Virginia was a part of the state of Virginia prior to the American Civil War. So no wonder oldtime and bluegrass music is as alive in West Virginia as it is in the mountain regions of Virgina. In this episode you’ll visit the Vanadalia, a festival hosted by the Division of Culture and History, located in the state capital of Charleston, West Virgina. Listen in to some fantastic oldtime music from the “mountain” state. Its going on right now, this Memorial Day weekend, May 26-28 just as it has been for the last 30 years.
