Episode 115 is dedicated to the late Dr. Ralph Stanley. His musical contributions were beyond measure and he'll be missed dearly. We listen to The Stanley Brothers 1966 as well as Ralph and The Clinch Mt. Boys 1977. A few favorites to remember the good doctor. Thank You Ralph!

Episode 114 is tremendous! This week we get to hear The Bluegrass Album Band live from 1989. Tony is still singing, JD is on fire on the banjo and Vassar Clements will blow your mind on that fiddle! This is one of my personal favorite recordings, enjoy!

Episode 113 is the final installment in our chronological look at The Bean Blossom Bluegrass Festival, 1972! It's taken six months, but what a slice of Bluegrass history! Today we hear The Story Of Bluegrass, which by and large is Bill Monroe with every bluegrass great joining him for a song or two. This recording is nothing short of a Bluegrass heirloom. Please enjoy!

Episode 112 is kinda crazy! As we continue to listen to the 1972 Bean Blossom Bluegrass Festival, we've reached a part of the show where Mr. Monroe brings out 9 fiddlers for a spectacular fiddle extravaganza. But don't take my word for it. This really happened. And we get to hear it! Cheers!

Episode 111 brings another live set by Lester Flatt and The Nashville Grass! We continue our look at The Bean Blossom Bluegrass Festival from 1972, and this set really has a great selection of songs as well the unique chance to hear Lester emcee, truly priceless! Enjoy!

Episode 110 features the high lonesome sound of Jim and Jesse and the Virginia Boys! This set, from 1972, showcases not only the bands incredible harmonies but also showboats Jesse McReynolds amazing mandolin playing! Enjoy...

I didn't think it could be done, but Episode 109 beats out Episode 108 as one of the all time best shows ever! We get to hear live Ralph Stanley, with possibly one of the most talented and dynamic bands to ever play Bluegrass backing him up. Do not stop, proceed directly to listening. If you're still reading this description you're wasting valuable time you could be delighting your ears and senses. Go!

Episode 108 is the reason we do this podcast! This is a great example of why live Bluegrass rules, as we get to listen to the one and only Jimmy Martin circa 1972! The songs are great and the banter is amazing. He's heartfelt, he's funny and he's honest. Truly one of the Bluegrass greats. Enjoy!

Episode 107 brings two sets from two artists, live circa 1972! First we hear James Monroe and The Midnight Ramblers, followed by The Goins Brothers! Both sets are great and stand as another reason live Bluegrass is the best!

Episode 106 features two sets of music! First is Bill Clifton followed by a set from Don Reno! Both are live from The Bean Blossom Bluegrass Festival in 1972. There is some Bluegrass gold in these sets, take a listen!
