  • Wonderful podcast!

    Where has this podcast been all my life!? I had searched for bluegrass oriented podcast but for some reason I never found this one but I love it to the core! I’m currently listening to the episodes of the 40th anniversary of Tony Rice’s Church Street Blues LP. This particular LP is how I like Tony Rice’s music the best. It was my introduction to his music and is ever closest to my heart. Again this is an outstanding podcast. Love it!
