This week's Grassroots, which airs at 3 PM ET Fridays and 10 PM ET Saturdays, includes a tribute to Mac Wiseman, who's celebrating his 83rd birthday May 23. We'll be playing all the songs from his very first solo recording session, which took place on his birthday in 1951. In addition, Grassroots this week includes songs from pre-bluegrass giants Jimmie Rodgers and the Carter Family, as well as lots of classic bluegrass from the 1940s through the '80s.The Studio Special for this week features (appropriately for the
Memorial Day weekend) the U.S. Navy Bluegrass Band, Country Current. It's a live-in-studio set with one of the really great bands to ever play the music. Air times are 8 AM ET Friday, 11 AM ET Saturday, and 6 PM ET Sunday. The full schedule is here.
The Infamous Stringdusters are featured again at 4 PM ET Saturday afternoon as we rebroadcast the Track-By-Track show with them which premiered this past Tuesday. More information is in my earlier post.Sundays just wouldn't be the same without Gospel Grass, which airs at 7 AM and 9 PM Eastern each Sunday.
Finally, don't forget the special afternoon of archived shows we've planned for Monday starting at 3 PM ET. Larry Cordle and Claire Lynch are featured, and more details can be found here.
Have a great weekend, and thanks for listening to Bluegrass Junction!
