Playlist for 6/20 Black Diamond Show on WNHU

On today's show, we played a lot more old-time music than usual: two versions of Dunbar, an old version of Wink the Other Eye (played a newer version last week), a track from the new Brad Leftwich CD, and so on. But there was plenty of good Bluegrass, too.

Don't forget to give me feedback on the newer bluegrass heard on today's show. The surveys all include links to samples, where they were available on the day of the show, so that you can remind yourself which song is which. Since it's getting close to time for me to submit my June report to the Bluegrass Authorities (tm), please consider filling in surveys for some of the recent shows, too:


Today's Black Diamond Show will be repeated on the WNHU2 stream at www.wnhu.net on Th, 6/23, from 9-11pm EDT.

Thanks for your support of bluegrass and traditional country music and for WNHU!
