Top New Bluegrass Songs Reported to Bluegrass Unlimited & Bluegrass Music Profiles (April)

Here's the information I submitted to Bluegrass Unlimited and Bluegrass Music Profiles this month on behalf of the Black Diamond Show. You can influence the "charting report" by voting in the surveys we post with each playlist. For the past 4 weeks, we've included links to samples of the songs in case you need a reminder of which song is which.

Thank you for your support of bluegrass and country music--and for your support of WNHU!
