This week we feature singer, songwriter and fiddler Corrina Rose Logston Stephens.  Corrina and her husband, Jeremy Stephens, are in the band High Fidelity and they both also spent time performing with Jesse McReynolds.  Since Jim & Jesse are on our cover this month (December 2023), we thought it would be nice to talk with Corrina about her time performing with Jesse and find out what High Fidelity has been up to lately.  You will also hear some music from High Fidelity.

.    This week we feature fiddle and banjo player Buddy Griffin.  Jim & Jesse McReynolds are on the cover of our December 2023 issue and as part of his long and distinguished bluegrass career Buddy performed with Jim & Jesse, and continued to perform with Jesse after Jim's passing.  At the same time he performed with Jesse, Buddy was also performing with Bobby Osbourne.  Since the bluegrass world lost both Jesse & Bobby this year, we felt it was a great time to feature Buddy on the podcast and talk with him about working with both of these bluegrass legends.
