Children's bluegrass recording
« Topic Start: October 19, 2007, 09:39:40 AM »
Last night we went to see Del McCoury and his band at the Barns of Wolf Trip (the tix were a birthday present to me from my hubby). If you've never seen him live before, Del puts on a fantastic show and has a great rapport with the audience. We've seen him live a few times now. Anyway, his son, Ronnie, has put out a CD of bluegrass music for kids, in hopes of getting a new generation interested in the music. Here's a link to a press release about it (it's now available in stores, I believe, though this dates from before the release):

Edit: Forgot to say that they were filming and recording for a live DVD and CD last night. Perhaps my whooping and hollering will be immortalized. Or not. Also, for those of you with HD radio, Del will be on WAMU's Talk of the Nation from 3-4 p.m. today:

I dont know if other services offer it, but XM has a blue grass station. I listen to it every now and then for a song or two.  The only bad thing about XM is too many choices. I never stay on one thing for long
