Qualifications:

A volunteer DJ since 2006. Received technical training in the studios of WFPK-FM and WUOL-FM (public radio stations, Louisville, KY). My weekly program is recorded in the WFPK-FM studio. I am also the on-air host for Sunday Bluegrass, WFPK-FM, when the usual host is unable to be in the studio.

I am a reporting station for the weekly Bluegrass Today Survey.

I was a music reviewer for Louisville Music News, Bluegrass Now, and Bluegrass Music Profiles. Wasfeatured as the DJ of the Month in Bluegrass Music Profiles in 2010.

I was awarded a Lifetime Membership in The International Bluegrass Music Museum as a token of appreciation for five years as a volunteer DJ. My first program was broadcast on Radio Bluegrass International (a streaming service of the Museum) from March 2008 until May 2013 when the Museum began a major fund raising campaign in preparation for its move into a new location. The Museum Director suggested my show be offered to interested broadcasters at no cost. In 2009 I was also asked to interview Pete Goble for the Bluegrass Music Museum’s video oral history project.

Details about the program:

The 300th program was broadcast in 2014.

Format: Bluegrass with occasional traditional country music.

Over 50 artists have been studio guests, including: Dailey and Vincent – Claire Lynch - Russell Moore & IIIrd Tyme Out – Becky Buller – The Lonesome River Band - Michael Cleveland - The Roys - Donna Ulisse - Tony Holt & The Wildwood Valley Boys - Kati Penn & New Town – David Davis & The Warrior River Boys – Rebecca Frazier – Jim Smoak (Bill Monroe’s banjo player) – and Al Hawkes (inducted Bluegrass pioneer).

There have been over 25 unique two hour programs. Examples:
* a Labor Day salute to working men & women
* all humor to celebrate National Humor Month and April Fool’s Day
* Lady’s Day – a two hour special featuring women in Bluegrass
* Bluegrass Goes Country with a 2 hour tribute to Hank Williams (bluegrass artists covering Hank’s music)

There have been numerous 2 hour tribute shows designed to showcase the life and music of a specific artists. Examples: Bill Monroe - Earl Scruggs - Ralph Stanley - Mac Wiseman - and Liz Meyer (with all Canadian and European artists).

Supplemental Information:

I work hard to ensure each radio program is the best possible representation of the music as well as the best possible representation of any radio station’s public image.

I have never received compensation of any kind from any group, organization, individual or any other entity to present my show.

There are no program connections with educational, religious, political or any other organizations.

An e-mail copy of each week’s playlist is available upon request.

Each program is recorded in 4 segments. Segments are usually about 30 minutes each. The total time for 4 segments is 2 hours. After you download a program, you may edit the segments to meet your needs. For example, you may wish to include an announcement about an upcoming festival, or a commercial announcement. If you have special needs, we can discuss.

If you broadcast the show, please provide me with your city and state, (or country), a contact name, and e-mail address. As a "reporting station" for Bluegrass Today's weekly survey, I am required to know your station's name, call letters, day and time of broadcast, and appropriate internet link (if any).

I am flexible and eager to work with you. If you have any questions or concerns, let’s discuss. My home phone number is available upon request.

Thanks for your interest.
