2. "Bluegrass Signal" is a program presenting bluegrass ... a unique synthesis of and old· time , with elements of Celtic, , and a variety of folk musics --- and related music. 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. I have been producing bluegrass (and many other types of) radio programs since )975; since February, 2004, the first hour of "Bluegrass Signal" is rebroadcast on www.BlueGrassCountry.org.aninternet radio station.
