The programs are thematic, with considerable background and contextual infonnation. and sometimes feature live musical perfonnances and/or interviews with musicians. There is always an extensive calendar of upcoming bluegrass and related events in the listening area, and often musical previews of some of these events.

During the period from July 16, 2003, to JUly 16,2004, "Bluegrass Signal" regularly aired on KALW on Saturdays between 6:30 and 8:00 pm. 5. Program lists for "Bluegrass Signal" which I prepared for programs produced during November 3, 1996, to November 3, 1997, and July 16, 2003, to July 16,2004, are attached at Attachmeut A. These lists were printed in the KALW program guides during the relevant time periods, as attached at Exhibit A.

    Born in California (Nov. 1964) and raised in Arizona, MIKE BUB began his musical journey as a banjo and guitar player. After college, Mike formed the Weary Hearts, with Ron Block (Alison Krauss), Eric Uglum and the late Butch Baldassari (Nashville Mandolin Ensemble). As that band began to fade, Mike turned his concentration from the banjo and guitar and took up the bass to work with The Del McCoury Band. With Del, Mike began a 13 year association with what was to become, and still is, the most awarded band in the history of the International Bluegrass Music Association. Racking up an unprecedented 9 Entertainer of the Year awards, 5 Bass Player of the Year awards as well as various Album, Instrumental and Song of the Year awards, including a Grammy award for the album “The Company We Keep”, which won for Best Bluegrass Album of 2005. A longtime resident of East Nashville, Mike can often be found playing the local clubs with his talented friends and neighbors. Born in Hazelville, WA, SHAD COBB began playing the fiddle at the age of thirteen, and his career started early with his family band that included his father and brothers. In '95, Shad moved to Nashville and began recording with some of Nashville’s top artists, including such acts as Bluegrass legends and Grand Ole Opry members the Osborne Brothers, vocalist Marty Rabon with his band Shenandoah, country music icons like Willie Nelson, singer-songwriters like Steve Earle, and old-time and bluegrass musician/comedian Mike Snyder. Shad’s intricate and soulful style of playing has been compiled over the years from many of his early influences.

    Red Allen & Frank Wakefield WDON Recordings

    Red Allen & Frank Wakefield WDON Recordings 1963 published by BMNN on Fri, 12/26/2014 - 23:21 Printer-friendly version Patuxent has released another exciting historical album. Red Allen & Frank Wakefield WDON Recordings 1963is a collection of 22 tracks featuring Red Allan on guitar and vocals, Frank Wakefield on mandolin and vocals, Pete Kuykendall on banjo and vocals and Tom Morgan on bass and vocals. The liner notes tell the story... Red Allen, Frank Wakefield, Pete Kuykendall and Tom Morgan. These names epitomize all that is meaningful in the world of bluegrass music. The pedigrees of Harley "Red" Allen and Franklin Delano Wakefield have been well documented. Red is justly regarded as the quintessential bluegrass singer. Raw, emotive, tender when necessary; he ranks as one of the most powerful singers this music has produced. Frank Wakefield remains the true preserver of Bill Monroe's definitive understanding of how bluegrass mandolin ought to be played and has furthered his unequalled knowledge of the Monroe doctrine with an enriched vocabulary of Baroque and Classical explorations. But what has not been fully documented were the significant contributions of band mates Pete Kuykendall and Tom Morgan. Collectively. this outstanding ensemble contributed some ofthe most lasting and memorable testaments within the bluegrass idiom. Theirs was a music of passion and conviction. The availability of only one commercial recording of this band has now been addressed and serves to illuminate the prominence of these gifted performers. In 1963, Red, Frank. Pete and Tom gathered in Mr. Kuykendall's Falls Church, Virginia home studio for what turned out to be a successful relationship with radio station WDON - 1540 AM in Wheaton, Maryland.
